no man. they actually deserve each other.
Jap creations are great, but the typical Jap is a racist, sexist bully. If you strip away all the pretense at being better, they're not very different from Chinks.

Nonsense. China is the best option every country want prosperity and happiness for their country and Chinese can deliver.
Fuck off to India anhneh you...
Chinese and Japs will unite to war with 5 eye. The rest of the countries will be on standby waiting for Chinese instructions...
Nonsense. You wake up on the wrong side of the bed... dumbwit...
Too bad the japs did not finish off their job.
What happened next was the killing of malays by chinese using the excuse Malays were collaborators but in actual fact, tge vommunist wanted to turn " tanah melayu" into another communist chinese province,

So many factors played a part in the fall of Sinkapore. The overconfidence of the British commanders, the rivalries between the British top command and their Aussie counterparts. Percival was regarded as an incompetent leader and behind his back, he was also lampooned for his nerdy looks. One comical story during the invasion was how Gordon Bennett the Aussie General in charge of the AIF troops escaped from Singapore with his assistants in a sampan wearing sarongs!
That's a good point, about their penchant for eating live food. Despite all their progress and achievements as a people, there is a barbaric and perverse aspect in most of them. It's in their DNA or like you mentioned their consciousness.

THE IRON LADY OF JOHOR

AT the age of 15, girls were pretending to be boys during the Japanese Occupation in Malaya, but Yap Chwee Lan was bravely rescuing the people of Kampung Baru, Johor, all because she could speak Japanese.
“Every night, about seven or eight young girls from the neighbourhood would come to my house to sleep because they felt safer there. They knew I could speak Japanese,” recalled Yap, now 90.
“The Japanese soldiers would come knocking on our door to ask for young girls and I’d respond in Japanese, ‘Why do you need women? You need housekeepers?’. They were shocked I could speak Japanese.”
Yap learnt the language from her former Japanese employer, who was a hairdresser in Johor. The then 13-year-old picked up the language quickly, and was even treated well by his family.
Yap’s fluency in their language granted her favour in the eyes of the Japanese, and this ordinary girl found herself holding extraordinary power – the ability to save people.
She managed to save those who lived in her town, Kampung Baru, Johor, by identifying them – in Japanese – to the soldiers who would have killed them on suspicion of aiding the resistance.
And we were there to capture her experiences as the R.AGE crew brought her around Johor to film at locations that hold significant memories during the Occupation. This is for The Last Survivors, an interactive online documentary project that aims to raise awareness to youths about the importance of preserving Malaysian World War II stories.
From the temple where she sought refuge during the Japanese attack in Singapore to the laundry shop where she hid young girls from the soldiers, World War II survivor Yap Chwee Lan brought the R.AGE crew around Johor for The Last Survivors shoot. — CHEN YIH WEN/R.AGE
Listening to her stories when he was growing up, one of Yap’s grandson Sebastian Chew, 18, is glad he didn’t have to experience WWII and the Occupation as he thinks it will haunt him throughout his life.
“I can’t imagine going through everything – from the bombings, hiding, living in fear and when the Japanese made the people dig their own graves in one of the fields and killed them. I don’t know how my grandma did it,” he said.
“That’s why I think it’s important for young people to know about these war stories so they can prevent anything of this sort from happening in the future. It’s cruel and heartbreaking.”
In her teenage years, Yap, whose father passed away when she was seven years old, had to work because her family was living in poverty.
She got married when she was 15, and lived with her husband Chiew Seng Leung at his laundry shop, Kedai Dobi Shanghai, in Johor Baru. Twenty days after their wedding, the Japanese started bombing Singapore.
Japanese fighter planes, based in Johor, would fly across to Singapore twice a day to bomb the neighbouring country. As the Japanese was attacking Singapore, lots of people walked over to Johor for safety. Yap and her family evacuated to Tampoi.
“We packed food and clothes, and placed them on my husband’s bicycle. As we were walking to Tampoi, we were stopped by a soldier because he wanted our bicycle. I told him in Japanese that it was ours and he let us through,” said Yap.
At the old temple in Tampoi, Yap sat down with R.AGE producer Chen Yih Wen to talk about the time she and her family, along with 50 other people, hid at the temple for a week before it was safe for them to go home. — VIVIENNE WONG/THE STAR
Once they were in Tampoi, they sought refuge in a temple along with about 50 other refugees, but soldiers came looking for comfort women. Yap not only told them there were none, but also said she was part Japanese, hoping they wouldn’t come back.
But the next day, the Japanese returned. This time, they were with their general.
“He was impressed that I could speak Japanese and praised me, saying it was good because I could help the Japanese soldiers,” she said. He proceeded to ask Yap if they had enough food and made sure they did by sending them rice, sugar and flour so they could cook.
He also offered her a job in Singapore as a liaison officer between the Japanese and the locals. She took the job after the island was invaded, but later learned that the Singaporeans she had liaised with were all eventually killed.
The distance was too much for Yap to handle as well, as she didn’t know if her family was well and alive. She returned to Johor one week later, and things were unfortunately similar to what was happening in Singapore.
Chiew’s boss had been arrested, along with a bunch of other people.
“There were black flags all along the streets,” Yap recalled. “It meant everybody was to stay home, because the Japanese would arrest anyone on sight.”
Those who were arrested were taken to a house in Jalan Abdul Samad, behind what is now the Maktab Sultan Abu Bakar, to be held before being taken to Dataran Bandaraya, where they would be executed.
“When I got to the house, the people were kneeling on the ground, their hands tied behind their backs with thick wire as the Japanese soldiers pointed bayonets at them,” said Yap.
“I said, ‘Yes, I do’. A lot of them lived in my neighbourhood. When I identified them, they were freed.”
The rest, whom she couldn’t identify, weren’t so lucky. Her mother’s friend’s son was one of the unlucky ones.
“I didn’t see him there, I was devastated when I found out. His mother was crying in the street,” said Yap, recalling the horrors of wartime Malaya.
Those remained were brought to the field. They were asked to dig holes in the ground, sit at the edge of the holes and were shot with machine guns.
As the bodies fell in, those who were merely injured were kicked into those holes they had dug themselves and buried alive together with the dead.
While a great number of people died during the Occupation, many more owe their lives to Yap.
Her family, though, remained safe, thanks to Yap.
“Before I went to Singapore, the Japanese general gave me a permit for my family,” she said. “He told me, ‘If anybody disturbs your family, ask them to report to one of my officers’.”
Today, Yap and her family still live in Johor, where some of the survivors’ descendants still recognise her.

“I was walking around town and suddenly someone called out, ‘Ah Ma!’. They told their kids that I saved their grandfather or grandmother,” Yap said with a laugh.

KNN, why must bash us oppies again even when we're talking about jap occupation?KNN!
Coz oppies are not loyal to Singapore. Look at Ah Gong. His body was in the Jap camp, but his heart was with the Allies. He spied on the Japs while manning their radio sets. It's written in his autobiography.
Ah Gong and keling ah gong were both patriots. Kindly do not defame them. Both of them have received numerous awards and medals for their loyalty to Singapore and sinkies.
Which autobiography is that? The Gospel according to John Tan? Oh and you forgot to add that oppies are also sinners.
Working as an editor for the Japanese
During the Occupation, Lee Kuan Yew joined the Hodobu in 1943 as an English-language editor. He was tasked to run through the cables of Allied news agencies.
According to Lee's account in The Singapore Story, cables were sent out in morse code and intercepted by Malay radio operators. His task was to piece the information from the cables:
"I had to decipher them and fill in the missing bits, guided by the context, as in a word puzzle. The cables then had to be collated under the various battle fronts and sent from the top floor of Cathay Building to the floor below, where they would be revamped for broadcasting."
The working hours were also tough. Editors had to work either from 7pm to 12am, or from 12am to 9am (with a 2-3 hour break in between).

Psychological implications
Despite the odd hours, the job's difficulty actually laid in its psychological implications, especially with the much feared Japanese military police known as the Kempeitai lurking and ready to arrest anyone remotely suspicious.
While Lee received news from Allied news agencies that the tide of the war was turning against the Japanese, such information was never allowed to reach the population:
"For hours my head would be filled with news of a war that was going badly for the Japanese, as for the Germans and Italians. But we talked about this to outsiders at our peril. On the ground floor of Cathay Building was a branch of the Kempeitai. Every employee who worked in the Hodobu had a file. The Kempeitai's job was to make sure that nobody leaked anything."
https://mothership.sg/2017/09/lky-w...a-department-at-cathay-during-the-occupation/
It can be concluded that he feared for his life. Hence he worked for the japs and obeyed the japs like a faithful and loyal dog. He never leaked info to the allies, never had the guts to be a spy.
They were translators and it's a nice term for collaborators....they also got rich by collaborating with the Japs. Dead farts said it himself.
How much did the tax payers pay for dead farts funeral? And not go mention gecko who was a private shitizens
Whatever they paid, it was worth every penny. Ah Gong did so much for sinkies. He deserved a grand send off from all sinkies. We all turned out by the hundreds of thousands to send off Ah Gong.
Singkies good at wasting money
just an observation. oppies may not be loyal to singapore but neither are Pappies. From my guess, they are most loyal to their own self-interest. Being a Pappie is just their bet.
whatever issues that I disagree with his handling of, I cannot deny that he and his chosen made singapore what it is.
