Surrender Point, Labuan Island

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.

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.

It is closed now. Maybe in renovation🥲
