Surrender Point - Labuan, Labuan Federal Territory

Sam W.

Important site of remembrance.

The monument was demolished and rebuilt within the last couple of years and so don't go wandering around looking for the circular memorial with the plaque in the middle like I did. I think the old one looked better personally.

1. Surrender Point，一个隐匿于宁静中的历史现场，坐落在纳闽和平公园的不远处。这里没有繁复的装饰或雕塑，只有一面墙，记录着曾经发生在这片土地上的重要时刻——日本第37军旅指挥官Baba Masao在1945年9月9日签署投降协议。
2. 墙面朝向南中国海，似乎在向过去的战火告别，也面向未来的和平致意。站在这里，可以想象当年的画面。
3. 盟军稳步登陆，战争的硝烟逐渐消散，当地百姓的眼中充满了对新生活的憧憬。
4. 这里还曾设立过战犯扣留中心，成为日军战争罪行调查与审判的核心场所。战犯法庭的开庭，标志着历史对侵略与暴行的追责。这些审判并非简单的复仇，而是人类文明在经历劫难后的自我反思。它提醒我们，和平需要正义来支撑，而正义必须在历史的光芒下显现。
5. 这里虽小，却格外干净，似乎连一片落叶也不愿打扰这片肃穆的土地。管理者的用心值得赞赏，而我们作为访客，也应当怀着尊重的心，铭记这一段历史。
6. 和平，不是一种必然，而是一种需要珍惜的选择。

If only people of the world observed the word engraved in the stone. There will be no war in this world. The word is 'Peace is The Best'

The famous historical site in Labuan Island is definitely none other than the Japanese Surrender Point. This is where the Japanese officially surrendered their ruling on Labuan to the Australian in charge. About 50 meters away from the surrender point, the ceremony of signing and the handover took place. Lieutenant General Masao Baba officially handed his sword as a sign of handover to Major General George Wootten during the ceremony. This ceremony marks the end of World War II in Borneo. Another interesting and historical fact towards this Surrender Point is that this is the place where the trials of the first war crime were conducted in the whole of South East Asia. The nearest attraction that is too having historical means is the Peace Park. The park is built by the Japanese right next to the Surrender Point as they felt sorry for the trouble caused by their forefathers in the past. The park acts as a tribute to respect and appreciate the scarification of the lives that are involved in the World War II. Just as its name, the Peace Park marks the promise between Malaysia and Japan on peace and friendship.

The accommodation in Labuan Island is not much of a different compared to other places around the world. The beautiful island offered various kinds of resorts and hotels all depending on your budget and preference. From budget bed and breakfast to high end luxurious hotels are all up for your pick. Spending a night or two in Labuan is a must as it has a lot to offer. The last thing you have to do before heading home is to shop for duty free goods. A wide range of duty free goods are offered and provided by the easy access duty free shops around the city centre of Labuan Island.

Previously there is a plague in the middle surrounded with a circle barier but was stolen hence the area was rebuild into an open space & a black wall as a background (nice textured wall).

Historical. Peace Park is just next to it. Best to visit around 5-6pm as you can watch sunset at the beach after that. Also, do try the satay there. Price range between RM0.8-RM1.0 + fresh young coconut RM5. The local people there are very warm and welcoming.

Nice long stretch of beach here, the Layang Layangan beach. There were 2 stalls selling food here. We had light snacks at the one called Corritos. It was surprisingly very nice. We ordered the fajitas, nachos and churros accompanied by the wind and sound of the beach. Lovely.

The Surrender Point is a located at the beach itself. Nothing much really, just a place in remembrance of the Japanese surrendering during WWII.
