白人植民地主義の根を絶った日本の足跡は人類の希望の証として後­­世に語り継がれるだろう

決して忘れる事は無い真実の話として

[Streaky55555]

I can understand the british need the supply for defence in UK. Actually The British army had its main ammunition and supply depots, military hospital and other key installations located in the Alexandra area at Bukit Chandu. So the Malay soldier let by Lt Adnan fought the japanese until the end to defence the hill for the japanese troops but too bad they were out numbered and ran out of weapons and they had to fight by using bayonets.

@GnosticHumanist So it's only a coincidence that the only people responsible for railways, trains, industry, steam engines, TVs, and the internet, are all British? Just a coincidence then, that this 'shitty little mud-flat' has single handedly invented the modern world, without any contribution from any country in Asia, Africa or America?

I am not a nationalist, I am patriotic. I believe the Japanese should thank us for inventing their economy.

@TheLiberalKnight

I'm actually not Japanese, but nevertheless I find it funny how you base your identity and ego around the acheivments of other people who have absolutely nothing in common with you other than the fact that they shared the same shitty little mud-flat as a home.

People like you who are always so fanatical about nationalism clearly don't have a life yourselves, and so need to draw upon some (largely bogus) collective self-worth.

I am not proud of the troops or generals at Singapore. They do not deserve respect for such a catastrophic failure.

[TheLiberalKnight]

@GnosticHumanist If we hadn't of been fighting in Europe, which was far more important than your little Asian colonized part of the world, we would have invaded Japan & you would have become a British colony. You owe everything to us- our scientists allowed you to become the country you are today. You have nothing on us, the greatest empire in history.

[GnosticHumanist]

The British and General Percival got absolutely arse-raped.

Don't forget that Japan contributed to Singapore's later development. Singapore's 1/3 of the land is reclaimed and Japan reclaimed those land with their advanced land reclaim technology. And in the 1990s Japanese companies were the first to come to Singapore and contributed the most to Singapore's development. This is why Singaporeans still like Japanese although they were invaded.
