2004年，新加坡政府在澳大利亚政府的强烈反对下拆除了樟宜监狱，因为该监狱与第二次世界大战期间囚禁战俘有关。澳大利亚政府在反对拆除时受到以下事实的限制：它挑战了主权政府管理国家遗产的公认权利;缺乏围绕樟宜的共同历史;以及缺乏任何商定的国际制度来管理“跨国遗产”。樟宜的案例也展示了遗产意义从“真实的”到“非真实的”（或替代品）遗址的转移方式，这些遗址缺乏人们赋予它们的真实性，但在个人记忆和流行文化的层面上被赋予了重要的情感力量。在这一点上，樟宜最终证明了记忆的构建是一个个人、组织利益相关者和国家之间的动态互动过程。
In 2004 the Singaporean government demolished Changi prison in the face of considerable opposition from the Australian government because of the prison’s association with the captivity of prisoners of war during the Second World War. In opposing the demolition the Australian government was constrained by the fact that it was challenging the accepted right of a sovereign government to manage national heritage sites; by the lack of a shared history surrounding Changi; and the absence of any agreed international regimes governing ‘transnational heritage’. The case of Changi also demonstrates the manner in which heritage significance can be displaced from ‘real’ to ‘un‐real’ (or substitute) sites, that lack the authenticity attributed to them but are invested with a significant emotional power at the level of individual memory and popular culture. In this, Changi is, finally, a testimony to the way in which the construction of memory is a dynamic interactive process between individuals, organisational stakeholders and the state.
