a little history. despite being japanese, he was one of the true heroes of ww2 in sg. he was a senior civilian special foreign affairs officer assigned to the imperial japanese hq in sg. imprisoned by the british as a suspected spy at the outbreak of war, he maintained innocense as a harmless local correspondent for the japanese press. when he was freed by invading japanese forces and was offered a post in the hq by the kempeitai, he printed up to 30,000 special pass cards and personally signed them all for use by locals, so that they could go about their daily lives unhindered by soldiers in the middle of the occupation and the "purge". he literally saved tens of thousands of sinkies, most of them of chinese ancestry. just remember that february the 18th thru' march the 3rd are "screening days" in sg. in those days, tens of thousands of your ancestors, relatives and countrymen were screened, transported to secluded spots, and executed.
