Hello,today I am talking to you about life during the Japanese occupation.It was 15 February 1942 Military forces of the Empire of Japan came to Singapore after defeating the combined Australian,British,Indian and Malayan. The occupation was a major turning for everyone. Singapore was renamed to Syonan-to which means "Island of the Light of the South. The fighting in Singapore lasted from 8 December 1941 to 15 February 1942. Singapore's fall to the Japanese was the worst disaster in the British and my history.
