Why this spot

One of Singapore's oldest coastal parks, keeping its 1960s-70s kampung feel, and the site of the 20 February 1942 Sook Ching massacre of civilians by the Japanese Kempeitai

Wikipedia documents the park's history and the massacre memorial; beachcomber reports of glass and pottery on this reworked shore are anecdotal, not independently documented, hence tier 3
