Malaysian and singapore knows that british has no guts to go war on their own. They hired The gurkhas and Sipahi armies to fight for them and claim that the hired armies are not well train. The fact is, they're are hired far before WW2 and obviously they are trained and been on battlefield several times. My grandmother eye-witness the battle of Teluk Intan between British and Japan 100 yards from her house. She told us Bristish are the stupid one and overconfidence.

Wow your grandmother witnessed a battle from such a close range? What was it like?

The reason why you do not criticize the history of the British aggression is that there is not a concept called the ancestral soil.

Because you are Chinese, you cannot be able to speak for a feeling of the bumiputra. This is a meaning to say that your ancestors are the criminals who invaded Singapore with a Briton. In Singapore, a Chinese influences politics now. It has a similar influence in the history education.

@XpolarstormX The British were also sending 48 Hurricanes to Singapore, these were sent in January, but a month later the British had surrendered. IF the British had not sent the spare supplies to the USSR then Singapore would never have fallen, if the British had held Force Z back until HMS Indomitable was available then they would never have been sunk.

@XpolarstormX If Britain had intelligence of troops numbers then Singapore would never have fallen. The Japanese were very short on supplies and were outnumbered 3/1, it was lack of tanks/planes and intelligence that lost the battle. When the British finally learned how to fight in the jungles then the Japanese started to get pushed back, making the use of air drops the Chindits could commit guerilla warfare . Force Z should of had aircover, but HMS Indomitable had ran aground in Jamaice

@XpolarstormX Wasn't just poor leadership, it was the fact that the British high command decided against sending battle changing equipment such as tanks. Instead of sending tanks/planes to Singapore/Hong Kong they were sent to the USSR. The Japanese were well trained in jungle warfare, were as most British troops would of never even seen a jungle never mind fought in one. Britain was short of equipment through the early years and it was seen as more important to send spare supplies to the USSR.
