strategy for confusing the British (7 February 1942)

             The Japanese in Johor tried to confuse the British in case of attack by Bombing Changi.
        Also, oon the date of 7th February 1942, they attacked Pulau Ubin . The British took the
        bait and thought that the Japanese invaded Singapore from the North-east direction.
         therefore, the British moved petrol from the north-west.  This was what the Japanese
          wanted.

Defences in Singapore

                         During the World War II, the British built a Naval base and other territories
             in Temasek ( former name of Singapore) which included underground bunkers.

             bunkers were built all over singapore too. bunkers were used as stores or air 
          -raid shelters for defences.

How we were treated by the Japanese (15 February 1942)

                      In order to get rid of any Western influenced, the Japanese had set- up many
             schools to teach people Japanese Language. Every morning, the students had to
             stand, face towards Japan and sing the Japanese national anthem.
           
                       In cinemas, only Japanese movies were displayed. The films insulted the
                 British. This caused the other Singaporeans' liking to British to decrease.
                 Sometimes, I can see the Japanese secretly coming into the cinemas to hear
                  anti-Japanese remarks

Fall of Singapore (15 February 1942)

                         Singapore being a small country , it is easy said that it can be conquered with
              ease. Japan is a big country , which has a larger area to store a huge supply of
              dangerous equipments and more amount of soldiers. This builds up to a strong army.
           
                         Here on Singapore, People of the army were ignorant and unaware of the
               coming of the Japanese army. When time came the Japanese faced Singapore
              army. By Morning of 15 February, the Japanese had broken through the last line
               of defence and the Allies were running out of food and ammunition.

                        Little did we know that the Japanese were also out of food and ammunition.
               In the end, we surrendered to the Japanese.

Key Battles in Malaya (8 December 1941)

                      Yamashito , a Japanese soldier, led the army and slowly conquered Malaya
            starting from Thailand. The British tried to protect Malaya. But did not succeed
            in doing so and instead, surrendered. From that point, the Japanese took over the
            Malaya and developed the "intelligence" service.
   
                    This lead to the loss of the British again. But when Hiroshima and Nagasaki
            where destroyed by the allied forces, the Japanese surrendered to the British and
            left.

Key Battles in Singapore (31 January 1942)

               It was early in the morning of the year 1941. Everyone of us in Temasek
            (which is now singapore) was a sleep. Until suddenly, we heard a loud
            explosion. The Japanese were bombing Singapore. By 1942, we fell to
            Japan, who eventually renamed our country as "Syonan".
 
               Three years had past and Japan had surrendered to the British. From
             there,our country were under the British military administration.
