The main story I heard as a boy from elders was that Malays generally welcomed the Japanese during the invasion. And the Japanese then hardly killed the Malays. This facet of history was not publicised in any museum I went to. Probably due to the very sensitive nature of it. I went to Old Ford Museum back in 2016 and an old man there actually verbally shared the same story. The Japanese really hated the Chinese due to their frequent resistance and assistance to fight against Japanese during the long war with China. During the occupation in Singapore, Japanese would generally round up the Chinese for slaughter. The most famous incident was known as Sook Ching. There is a memorial erected at Hong Lim Complex on this incident.
Sean, I met a woman in Kota Bharu who showed me her father's diary from that time. That was not the impression I got from her. But then I also heard that in Indonesia the Japanese were welcomed initially because they were so sick and tired of the colonialists and were led to believe they would be one big happy family with the Japanese. I just visited the Singapore Museum two days ago and what an eye opener. I'm very excited to find this video and the recent article written about this man.
I heard from my elders that Malays lined the street to welcome the Japanese as they march into the country. Not sure was it Malaysia or Singapore. We will forever dont know the truth as such sensitive topics will not be written about in public domains. The only famous story we will hear of is that famous Malay who sacrifice himself resisting the Japanese. Yes I revisited the Singapore Museum a couple of weeks ago. They presented the history of Singapore very interestingly.
Wow.. I imagine there are so many versions and maybe all true. I actually just went out to Pulau Ubin to see if I could meet this man and ask a few questions. But once I got there with no interpreter and being all sweaty from the bike ride I realized I might just look like a stalker so just said hello and bought a drink. :D Who is the famous Malay? Thanks.
goeastyounggal his name is Adnan Saidi. Actually I need to Google to check. He was horribly killed by Japanese in ww2. Reflections at Bukit Chandu museum is dedicated to this incident. Always wanted to visit but it is very out of place.

Thank you... just reading about him now. :(
Getting lots of distortion on the interview lav mic - did you guys monitor the audio? Great recount of his story, though!
