00:01It was a moment of solemn reflection here in the Changi Chapel in Singapore where Anthony
00:07Albanese has stopped to mark Remembrance Day, the Prime Minister laying a wreath in commemoration
00:13of Australia's serving men and women.
00:16In the early hours of November 11, Mr Albanese was also joined by several officials, including
00:21Australia's High Commissioner to Singapore, for a tour of the chapel's museum.
00:25Thousands of Australian prisoners of war were held in Changi by the Japanese during World
00:30War II.
00:31Among them, labour legend and mentor to Mr Albanese, Tom Yuren.
00:35The 15,000 Australians who were interned here in Changi represent the best of the Australian
00:46character.
00:47They showed courage, selflessness, sacrifice and mateship.
00:53The chapel is a replica of St George's Church built by Allied POWs during their internment
00:59more than 80 years ago.
01:01It's become a place of remembrance for those who suffered and died here.
01:05The Prime Minister's stop in Singapore was only brief.
01:08He now travels on to the Turkish city of Antalya for the UN Climate Conference.
01:13Australia is the co-president of negotiations of COP31 and Mr Albanese will be speaking at
01:20the opening of the Leaders' Summit later today.
