Singapore since 1819, we are a nation.

Raffles founded Singapore.The British nurture Singapore into a morden city.
The British built the railway, setup the police force, army.Built all the government buildings and roads.planned the central business district.
The British also made Singapore the busiest sea port even before Lee Kuan Yew was born.
It was the British that had contribute much to lay the foundation for Lee Kuan Yew.So, how come our National celebrations every year did not even mention about the British contribution???And, where is the forgotten war heros?Are they not part of Singapore history too???Why always only focus on our Senior Minister Mr Lee Kuan Yew???I wonder why...!!!Leftenan Adnan was also a hero in world war 2.Why no one mention about him???Why why why...!!!
Anyone agree???

Myth: The British failed to defend Singapore against Japanese invasion. Only Singaporeans would defend Singapore.

Truth: Tens of thousands of British Commonwealth forces (British, Indians, Australians, NZ) defended and died for Singapore along with Singapore local Chinese volunteers. It's no shame and no lack of valor in losing a battle to Imperial Japan at the height of their powers with non-resistance policies adopted by Thais and Malays with Japan declaring no harm to them as it was a war between the Japanese Empire and the British Empire. That was how Japan crossed Thailand and Malaya so swiftly.

Lee Kuan Yew and S.R. Nathan were on the Japanese side. Very intelligent people indeed. They chose the winning side of that time, then switched over in time when the tide turned and the Japanese were losing.

Myth: Singapore under PAP fought for and won independence as a nation.

Truth: Singapore under PAP fought to become a state of Malaysia, a springboard from which PAP could eventually control federal Malaysia. PAP failed in this ambition as Malaysia saw through the ruse and kicked Singapore out.

The truth is, the British lost..and it only took 20000 Japs soldiers to defeated close to 100,000 angmohs soldiers. The british failed to defend singapore during the jap invasion" , they even surrender. The results, extimated 50000 to 100000 of our grand parents were massacred by the Japs during the Shok Qing period

British want to sell you their industrialise revolution technology. You think build bridges and roads for free, fat hope! You pay for the roads they built and you pay for their car inventions that need roads to drive on. Ang moh also like PAP, pay and pay, hello! since ang moh came in with their industrial revolution gadgets, machines and tools nothing is free!

Where got money to build roads, you pay with your golds and natural resources. Ang moh bring in their industry that damages and destroy and pollute environment and kill wild lifes. You have ang moh trains that churned out huge black smokes and loud noises and can only run on steel tracks and this is call industrial revolution.

Chow Pommy Ang mohs should be wipe out of their historical links with Asians. You don't want their industrialise products so only way is to colonize your country and make them theirs and they can do whatever they like and make you work for them using their industralised gadgets. They pay you peanuts and like a slaves and their industrialised products are human hazards and killed million of people handling their machines. How many people died on the road killed by cars?

We must understand from the history of warfare, how Cao Cao with 50,000 troops could beat the Yuan Shao alliance of 18 warlords with 800,000 troops total at Guandu? How when he had 800,000 troops at Chibi, could then lose to Sun-Liu alliance of 2 warlords with 50,000 troops total only.

The Japanese weren't depending on winds of luck only. They had serious planning and simply outsmarted and outmanoevred the British (and Americans) at that time.

The crippling of the US Pacific fleet at Pearl Harbor and the Royal Navy Far Eastern fleet (sinking of capital warships HMS Repulse and HMS Prince of Wales) meant Japan had full control of the seas both sides of the Malay peninsula. Even the US had to withdraw from and concede the Philippines.

By time Japanese troops landed on Singapore, the battle was over whether the British Commonwealth troops number 200k or even 1m. The Japanese controlled all food, fuel and ammo supply routes air, sea and land around. They could simply starve all troops and civilians alike.

Most of us remember the image of Gen. Yamashita banging table at Gen. Percival from old photos or at the wax museum. The message was clear: Surrender or you all die! Percival understood the situation well. Yamashita wasn't bluffing. The entire region was surrounded by Japanese, not just the landed troops.

The company that exported opium to China and in a sense, won HK for Britain, is still around. Its HQ building is one of the famous unmistakable landmarks in HK Central, the one with the naval circular windows. Its shares are listed in both HK and Singapore. Its name is Jardine Matheson. It sells other things, no more opium, nowadays, including Mercedes Benz.

The bank that bankrolled Jardine Matheson's old opium trade, the Opium War and the takeover of HK as colony also has an unmistakable landmark building HK Central, the one with huge X criss-cross pillars. Its name is Hongkong & Shanghai Bank, now better known as HSBC.

Lim Bo Seng and his men would probably shoot Lee Kuan Yew to death there and then if they captured him. What do you think Lee Kuan Yew would think about Lim Bo Seng when he came to power?
