I accept the name if they have comfort women as live exhibits.


I accept the name if they have a section devoted to traitors who collaborated
with the Japs like Nathan and Old Fart.

They could easily bank on the collective wisdom of our band of brothers here in SBF and I'm sure we can churn out pretty decent names, can't we?

Agreed. With the exception of a few, I find you lot erudite.

I hope they do. It would be an inspiration to so many sinkies that jap collaborators will do well in life while anti-jap resistance fighters ended up either dead or losers.

With much gratitude and I'm humbled. I was checking with some kiddos around my area, they too didn't have a clue what Syonan meant, they jokingly added they knew what Syo Kan was...

Why not Utama or Temenggong or Farquhar Museum? Or East India Museum? No creativety.

It was a pretty good name for an occupied territory. Clearly the Japanese have put much thought in it. Sinkies should be honoured their occupiers paid so much attention renaming this piece of rock. :cool:

Doubt there would be any changes to the name for now. Pinky seemed pleased after his visit to the Ford Factory today.
