During the Sook Ching massacre that occurred in Singapore during World War II, mass war graves were dug to contain the bodies of civilians who were killed by the Japanese. When the bodies were unearthed in 1962 in various places, the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCCI) decided to gather the remains and create a memorial for them. The then Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew set aside a plot of land at Beach Road for the building of the me morialand the War Memorial Park was created.

On 15 June 1963, in a monumental ceremony attended by VIPs, inter-religious organizations, community leaders and many others, the then Prime Minister officiated at the launch of the Civilian War Memorial project ceremony. The project was completed and the monument was unveiled on 15 February 1967 in conjunction with the 25th anniversary of the Fall of Singapore.[2]

The monument was named the Civilian War Memorial but was affectionately known as the “Chopsticks” memorial with reference to its design. With four pillars each with a height of about 67 metres, the monument resembles two pairs of chopsticks. The design of the four pillars bears a significant meaning – they symbolize the four main races of people living in Singapore. Words were inscribed on the base of the memorial. In four languages, English, Mandarin, Malay and Tamil, the words read: Memorial to the Civilian Victims of the Japanese Occupation 1942-1945
