Here's a shockingly bizzare pic I found in The Singapore Story, an autobiography by one of the world's greatest statesmen, the much respected former Prime Minister of Singapore, Lee Kuan Yew.
It shows a World War II, occupation Jap torturer torturing his prisoner. The victim could be either an Asian or European.
Think about this-why do Asians treat fellow Asians so cruelly? The invading victorious Japs were unusually brutal in South-east Asia, torturing and killing hundreds by chopping heads, burning or shooting and even many babies were bayoneted. Germ warfare experiments were also conducted and perfected on Asians in China, maiming or killing thousands.
What else have I got? This is a pencil-traced image of a copper coin I stumbled across while I was doing voluntary work at a former dreaded Japanese Kempeti interrogation centre which is supposedly haunted as well.
The coin was in part of the building's disused old sewage system. I discovered it when I fell from my tall ladder which seemed to have moved sideways one day at dusk. I landed on top of the sewage cover.
There's an image of a dragon on one side and on the other side are the words copper coin. Do click to enlarge.
I've done an extensive search on the net on this coin but so far, I haven't been too successful. If you know anything more about such a coin, please tell me.
Looking at this coin, I guess I got paid for my work ... from beyond ...
The pic and story above come from the banned Sarawak Tribune, dated 8/19/95. It's all about the appalling ill-treatment and atrocities committed against captives by the WW2 Japanese Imperial Forces in the Far East, including Malaya.
Don't get me wrong: I'm not beating a dead horse (WW2 Japs & their sins) here. It's my belief that we must be reminded of the past or we'll be condemned to repeat it, to paraphrase George Santayana. Let's not hide the truth and bury the past, hoping everything will be better tomorrow. It won't be better tomorrow as history has shown us that the similar forms of bloody wars, strife, revolutions and so forth occur worldwide...
As for the Japs, the people of today are quite different from the WW2 ones and war does change humans, turning them into inhuman barbaric beasts. In every war, crimes against humanity have been and will be committed. This war may be as minuscule as the campaign against the communist terrorists, aka War of the Running Dogs in Malaysia and as widely awesome as World War 2.
I'm saying the Japs of today are different from the militant Japs 'cos I've personally been to modern Japan twice and experienced its warm Japanese hospitality. The people are polite and gracious towards visitors even though it is difficult to communicate with them due to their English language backwardness. In fact, the airport Japanese female staff in the postal outlet and elseway, despite their English handicap, were remarkably friendly, helpful and humble towards me at the Narita Airport on both occasions, giving me an excellent impression of the people there.
