The factory is a national monument of Singapore and is managed by Ford Motor Company of Malaya. Former Ford Factory is where British forces under Lieutenant-General Arthur Percival surrendered to Japanese forces. The Ford Factory displays provide a good overview of what occurred in Singapore during the Second World War and how swiftly the Gibraltar of the East fell to the Japanese.
