Jalan Besar Stadium (cont'd)
Throughout the Japanese Occupation that lasted from 1942 to 1945, Jalan Besar Stadium was one of the mass screening sites for Sook Ching, the extermination of resistance groups by the Japanese. The stadium remained open through the war and was also used as a language centre for the teaching of Japanese to locals.
Jalan Besar Stadium was closed in December 1999 for rebuilding with the original pitch being retained, serving as a reminder of the stadium's rich past. The stadium was officially re-opened in June 2003.
