Sandakan Memorial Park

  
  Sandakan Memorial Park was built on the exact location of the Japanese’s Sandakan prisoner of war camp (POW camp) during WWII although the size of the park is only a small fraction of the original camp area. Here, in the park, there is also a pavilion or a small museum that serves as an information centers for visitors to read about the war and to learn about the lives and suffering that the prisoner have to endure at the POW camp. The horror of the infamous Sandakan Death March was described in details here and there is also a scale model of the original POW camp. The Sandakan Death March is the forced march of the prisoners in Sandakan to Ranau which is about 150 miles (240 km) west of the camp through impenetrable jungle and treacherous routes. All together there were 3 separate marches, with the first march started in January 1945, involving the fittest and healthiest prisoners. The last march which began in March 1945 consists of the remaining prisoners. Prisoners who are too weak or sick to march were shot. There was no account of what happened after the last march as there was no survivor to tell their story as they either died from starvation, illnesses or brutalitie
  
  in Sandakan memorial park is also available as a weapon of war perninggalan, mariam, sinapang, shoot. and many other historic objects.
