MPAJA tried to "liberate" (take-over) the country from the British. They were allied with the British during the Jap occupation but during the period between the Japs leaving and the British returning to Malaya, they took power and were apparently very brutal especially to those who were considered tali-barut (mostly Malays). The British labeled them as Communists and started fighting them as well. This is what is mentioned in history, the truth is probably somewhere in-between and the fear of communism was a big factor in the outcome.

When Nazis heard about what Jipunis were doing, even they were shocked.

In reality, Jipunis WWII atrocities actually worse than the Nazis. There are way more death of POW in the hands of Jipunis than Nazis.

Communists are like DAP, you put them as opposition is ok. But they cannot be in power.

True, people who forget their history really dono la.

What the jap did is totally unforgivable even if they look so nice and polite

Lot of people thought Japan is their saviour

RIP those who perished and those MIA which I presume died. So many people died in Thailand and in large graves.

These people were forced like sardine in can, put in train cargo rails and ship them off. No proper food or medicine. Some got stab while walking towards their rail jobs because they are sick and dying.

Cruelest buggers

Many youngster kena take to lorry and shot to die right?

While I can't comment coz I never lived through the era, I don't have much animosity towards them because stories from my grandparents, where one of them actually saved my dad's life.
My dad as a kid was bedridden having very high fever due to living conditions and my grandma while taking care of him, one Jap suddenly came into the house probably to search for food, and seeing the condition of my dad, gave his medication to my grandma and told her to brew for him to drink, then he just left. My dad got better after that.

you go read his memoir

Wow such a good soldier

Actually there are taiwan chinese join japan army at the era

Maybe he is the one....


Last time your father live at kampung area?

Drama la. It was war the supply all taken by british leaving nothing. The British is doing the Dunkirk thing taking all valuebles and running back home hide.

They just gave away Malaya because the import export is fucked anyway.

Basically we end up with crippled economy because orang puteh big boss said no need plant rice just plant money crops enough. So when the export is fucked everyone starved.

Then its extra hard when Japanese come cos they plunder Malaya another round. Also the rape cos hentai ppl going YOLO

The price control n home relocation those British do it again during Chin Peng era. No ppl kecoh about this also.

That guy is a real seisohai, asking to forgive is bad enough. But he even said,



what a farking idiot

There are all kinds of people. Even during ww2 there were group of Japanese within the island nation actively opposed the war and were prosecuted. Your dad was lucky to meet a nice one. My grand dad was killed by Japanese soldier and he was just a civilian that were not involved in military or insurrection.

Everyone knows the Chinese got put in concentration camp during that time.

Just that no one cares because not same skin colour and religion as the majority.

On top that cannot use a propaganda to win votes unlike labelling Chinese as communists every Hari Kebangsaan.

"Water cure," a form of water torture, was widely used by Japanese troops (specifically the Kempeitai, the Japanese military police) in occupied territories during World War II.
The method involved forcing water, sometimes with irritants like soap, into the victim's body.

Process: The victim was typically tied or secured in a prone (face-down) position. A cloth was placed over their mouth and nose, and water was continuously poured or "pumped" in, filling the lungs and stomach until the person was near unconsciousness from asphyxiation.

Physical Trauma: Once the victim's body was bloated with water, pressure was applied to the abdomen—sometimes by beating it or a guard jumping on it—to force the water out.

Repetition: The victim would be revived, and the brutal process repeated multiple times during interrogation.

Survivors described the experience as feeling like drowning, "just gasping between life and death". The torture causes extreme physical pain, potential organ damage, and severe, lasting psychological trauma.

This method, along with other extreme acts, led to a high mortality rate among prisoners of war under Japanese control compared to other theaters of the war. After the war, Japanese war criminals were tried for these atrocities at the International Military Tribunal for the Far East.

There are 2 types of Japanese army, one is native japan, another one is taiwanese who are forced to become Japan army. I believe your dad encounter the taiwanese japan army who are not so barbaric.

He should go to read "Sook Ching Massacre" and even LKY claim Japan has killed about 70-100k of singaporeans.

My grandfather told us that his brother got caught away by japanese soldier to do forced labour or something like that. But he never came back. Most probably died

SAS Rouge heroes

my grandfather said very difficult to live, stress is the least worry, how to survive another day was brutal

had to hide under the house, obey them, submissive attitude

dont know how my grandfather and his family survived, yes they also mention banana bank note

Got ppl say forgive je la

Meanwhile they didn't even ask for forgiveness lol

So nowadays those pedophiles etc if they ask for forgiveness can we forgive them? They didn't kill the kids

It's weird tho that marai hate CP to the core but jepunis mcam ok je

Actually there were some marai ppl who welcomed jepunis with open arms back then when they cycled in
