Those were the days when KMT and CCP combined forces to fight Jap...
I can understand the sense euphoria after over 3 years of occupation when SG experienced one of the worst massacre of civilians in WW2 History.

He was very street smart having felt unease when a Jap military order him "up a lorry" at a "screening centre" at Jalan Besar stadium. The then 19 years old Lee then seek refuge in a nearby coolie domintory where a rickshaw puller stay.
Without Mr Koh's help, Singapore today will be a very very different place.

US and China were allies even before WW2...Difference is the later was already at war when Jap started the 2nd Sino-Jap War in Jul 1937, while the former only decided to join the fight after Jap attacked Pearl Harbor in Dec 1941.

Of course - TW island has been the refuge for the (defeated) KMT as they fled the Mainland in 1949 after the CCP resoundingly won the Civil War after WW2... Till today, any newly elected TW Province "president" must pay respect to the founder of Chinese Republic..

Shocking to hear this - Such heinous way to commit War Crimes by luring unsuspecting civilians to a "movie".

LKY has a talent in spotting untrustworthy people - For e,g the Japanese.
Perhaps it this talent + personal experience under the Jap Occupation that left a life time impact.
Even years into politics, he once famously warned allowing Japan to rearm is like "
like giving liqueur chocolates to a reformed alcoholic..."

That's why I refer the victims as "Chinese", not as "Singaporeans"
But then, SG gov disagree w me...To them 15 Feb 1942 is part of the Republic's history and memory when the "
white colonial traxhes" surrender.
Why do you think SCDF sound public warning each year on that Day and we held remembrance at the WW2 memorial ?
