When did shooting start in Singapore?

Shooting in Singapore, particularly in the context of its historical military engagements, began during World War II when Japanese forces invaded the island on February 8, 1942. This marked the start of significant military action in Singapore, leading to its fall to Japanese occupation. However, in a more contemporary sense, shooting sports have been organized in Singapore since the mid-20th century, with the National Shooting Association of Singapore being established to promote the sport.
