The British did run road and abandon Singapore.
The British were prepared to lose Singapore because they were, again, a bankrupt nation and who wanted to protect a colony when their own were having a war with the German.
The British parked their naval ships in Ceylon claiming it only took 7 days to reach Singapore it there were war in Singapore. Run road say so lah, fuck Pommies. Besides the Drug dealers Pommies have been drugging mainly Chinese British Subject for drug money since early 1900s. 40% of the economy were drug trade in Singapore so to protect a nation of drug addicts against the Jap?
Let the Jap inherit all the opium addicts in Singapore, who care?

As China tightened her borders, Britain pinned her hopes on her other Asian colonies. Opium production in the Straits Settlements (Singapore, Penang, Malacca, Labuan) rose from 353,938 pounds in 1916 to 370,688 pounds in 1920, in spite of Britain’s promise at the Hague Convention to limit opium sales. In 1918, 60% of Britain’s Asian income was derived from opium sales. In 1925, opium accounted for 48% of Singapore’s revenue, and 100% of North Borneo’s. At the 1923 Opium Conference, Mr. Campbell admitted that the British Indian government was determined to maintain high levels of both internal consumption and export, and that they,
“controlled the production, distribution, sale, possession – every possible practical question which could arise in connection with opium—in the strictest possible manner—They had built up a complicated and highly efficient administrative system which started from the time the poppy seed was put into the ground, and did not relinquish control of the drug until it was in the hands of the consumers, or till it was actually exported.”
Some wits noted wryly that the Crown did all but light the addicts’ pipes.

Perhaps, the Jap was right t to say they came to rid the fucking drug dealer Pommies British Empire for so good in Singapore, China and SEA of the .
The Jap did bombed USA, did they? To fuck the Pommies and go to war with them.
Stupid kukushit, once again, swallowing too much bangla sperm, has fucked up your brain.
The Brits did not run road because of no where to run, as you said. The Brits fully expected to defeat the Japs and win. There was no plans or preparation for them to run road, because that was never their intention, and because they never expected to lose. If you think you will win big time before the battle, why plan to run road at the first sign of invasion? For reasons of racial bias (Jap pilots do not fly well because they have slant eyes, etc) and because they underestimated the battle hardened and tactically superior Jap force, the Brits were defeated. In fact, Yamashita had a smaller army and was at the very end of his supplies and ability to continue fighting. When he met with Percival at the Ford Motor Factory, he expected to be asked to surrender instead of the other way round.
SIngapore was hardly abandoned by the Brits as you claim. In fact, the Brits stationed over 150,000 men in Malaya and Singapore. Percival himself led 85,000 in the defence of singapore. Whereas Yamashita had only about 30,000. The Brits had at this time been already fighting in Europe for 2 years. They could have easily diverted these men and their equipment to North Africa or some other European campaign. There was no German threat in Asia and the Japs had not remotely entered the war. While it is true that Percival was incompetent, and some of the leaders under him were also the same, and its also true that he was given alot of raw and semi trained troops, and also outdated equipment, what is not true was that Singapore was abandoned by Great Britain. The loss of the 2 capital ships Repulse and POW indicates they intended to stay and fight and win. Otherwise, these 2 ships would have been in the Atlantic on convoy duty or participating somewhere else.
Perhaps u should do what you do best, and go back to raping ypur grandson. and leave these sort of discussions to people of intellect.
