The Gardens' bulletin Singapore.. Vol. 66(2).

During the period leading up to the Japanese attack on Malaya, the Singapore Botanic Gardens experienced significant disruptions due to the secondment of senior staff for duties under the Departments of Food Control and Information. This shift resulted in a marked reduction in botanical work, highlighting the vulnerability of scientific institutions during periods of political instability. The bulletin provides historical insight into how external pressures can impact long-term research efforts, particularly in botanical studies.
