What did Japan do to Singapore? | Civilian War Memorial - Sook Ching🇸🇬

- I'm Japanese and it is my first time visiting the Civilian War Memorial in Singapore.
This tower was built in memory of the civilians killed during the Japanese occupation of Singapore during World War II.
It was quiet and peaceful. Also near the city centre, so if you're Japanese, I recommend you visit.
If you liked the video, please leave a thumbs up and subscribe. My goal is to show more of the hidden non-touristy side of Singapore. I appreciate your support.

少しセンシティブな内容ですが、動画にしました。シンガポールが『昭南島』と名付けられ、日本に統治されていた時代について。1942年から1945年。わずか80年前ほどの出来事です。
伺ったのは『Civilian War Memorial』。中国語では『日本占領時期死難人民記念碑』、日本語では『血債の塔』と呼ばれています。
この塔、当時は華僑粛清事件の慰霊碑をつくるために建築が開始されましたが、最終的には統治時代に犠牲になった全シンガポールの慰霊碑として建築されました。
シンガポールと日本の歴史は、意外に知られていません。（シンガポール人は全員知っていますが）。
ぼくも勉強不足ですが、情報はネットに転がっているので、ぜひ過去の出来事を学んでみてください。シンガポール人の懐の深さに感謝します。
最後に、「行ってみたい」という方向けに場所のリンクを貼っておきます。

![This is Singapore Without Makeup. Japanese Exploring Local Area of Singapore[cc]](/img/tr.png)
My eldest brother died as a baby in the Japanese Occupation of Singapore. My parents were running away from the blitz when a Japanese plane dropped a bomb close by. My mother instinctively put her hands to her ears and dropped my brother who was barely 3 months old. He fell down the stairs and died. That night, my father buried his little lifeless body, wrapped in a straw mat, at the hill behind the flats at Kreta Ayer Road, China town. They were too shocked to even grieve.
Now, fast forward to 2011: shortly after the tsunami, my son went to Japan to help out with the reconstruction of a damaged town. There he met an old Japanese gentleman who once served as a soldier in Singapore during the Japanese Occupation. When he found out that my son was from Singapore, he, with tears in his eyes, bowed deeply, asking for forgiveness. He couldn't believe that a descendant of the people he once terrorized could one day turn up to help him.
What's done, is done. Let's move on and turn our enmity to mutual respect and friendship. Wars always leave scars, but the important thing is what can we take away from these experiences that would turn us into better persons.
實其 damn that’s crazy
soba tempra I can’t get what you’re saying
實其
Thank you for raising a wonderful human being. I’m deeply moved by your story and will cherish the message behind it.
The Japanese during WWII committed a lot of atrocities in Singapore. The Japanese government deliberately hid the facts about the massacres, so few are aware they occurred.
Did you actually think we liked the Brits being here? We hated it as much as you do. I like Nihon as it is!! Also, please dont call us betrayers of Asia, we did not expect Sir Stamford Raffles to come in the first place. But the past is the past, move on from it.
Knowing history is important so tragedy does not repeat itself.
good
it's already repeating itself China is the new evil bad guy
It will be naive to hope that it will not repeat again.
@@EndtheCCP369 idiot comment
what do you think why we force all of the war loving county to be capitalist...
Brave of you to touch on this sensitive topic.
Sadly, many of my Japanese friends denied that the Imperial Army killed many innocent people in SG and the Sook Ching operation. Reason: they were not covered in the Japanese History text books in school.
This vlog should be shown to the Japanese people.
Indonesia share the same history too...
Hadrian Laksmanto 😢
This is where my anger is
sleepyhealer ditto
of course, the Japanese government will never talk shit about his own country and the wrong doings that they did in the past. its propaganda. every country is the same. all lies to brain wash their people. 🥴
日本人だからこそ知っておかないといけない歴史だと思います。ジブおじさん、とても素敵な動画をありがとうございます。そしてシンガポールの懐の深さに感謝します。
普通に学校で学びませんでしたか？僕は太平洋戦争について小、中、高と3度学びました。日本の公立学校出身です。
とくに中国と東南アジアへの侵攻については中等教育にしては綿密に教わったと記憶しています。
maplefreak64 先生によるでしょう
本当は1番時間をかけて学ばないといけない時代だけどそこまで時間をかけられななかったりする。
@arai nn 教育は教育、個人の思想は個人の思想でしょう。政治性を排除した真実は歴史学、哲学の研究領域です。
中国共産党が自国民8000万人以上、ソ連のスターリンが自国民数百万人殺したことはもっともっと忘れてはならない。
今現在も大量の自国少数民族等に対しての虐殺がずっと行われているけどね
Hey you are a good person to even talk about this. You have my respect friend.
『忘れてはならないけど許そう』何だか泣けてくる。日本人としても個人としても考えさせられるとても良い動画でした🙏
You have no right to forgive, and you have no right to represent the victim.
Just to give some perspective on how fast times change:
1. My grandma lived through WWII and the Japanese Occupation. She hated the mention of anything Japanese although she tolerated the gradual globalisation of Japanese culture.
2. My aunt (1 gen after grandma) married a Japanese man, and moved over to Japan when her oldest son was about 11 or 12. We visit them in Japan occasionally and they have fully integrated back into Japanese society. I have a Japanese niece who is just a few years old now :)
3. Me and my Singaporean cousins grew up watching Doraemon, Pokemon and lots of anime (yes Naruto, Bleach etc every week when it released on DSL). We associate Japan with quality and craftsmanship (our parents generation too) due to the automation and mechanisation in the 60s-80s if I'm not wrong. Lots of people in my age group (20-30s) love to save up to travel to Japan as the place is safe, food is great, and it's an Asian country (there are some fears of racism / 2nd class treatment when travelling to white dominated countries).
3 generations, 3 different mindsets :)
Well said. My grandma shares the same sentiment and I do in fact believe that most of the older generation who lived through Japanese Occupation still hold some form of grudge. It's really a good thing that this grudge/hatred did not flow over into the next generation.
What a story fren
I think its fine as long as the younger generations also acknowledge this
Its the same for my grandparents. But only on the mother's side.
My father's side grandparents adopted a japanese orphan as their son before my father was born, he's 58 years old this year and happily married with three children.
same....
久々に考えさせられる動画でしたね。
日本人として知っておかなければならない内容でしたありがとうございます。
この動画にも色んな人(意味深)が来るとは思いますが、やはり物事を正確に知り、客観的に見て、自分なりの意見を持つということは大切だと思います。
そしてなにより髭おじかっけぇ
HAHHHAHAHA i wanted to know what this said so i google translated it and this came out
It was a video that made me think for a long time.
Thank you for the content you need to know as a Japanese.
I think many people (meaningful) will come to this video, but I think it's important to know things accurately, look objectively, and have your own opinion.
And above all, beard
This is a really good video. We, Japanese people, tend to forget what the Japanese army did in South East Asia during the war because the relationships with countries in the region are currently good. However, I think we have to know the dark side of history to keep good relationships.
I think the problem lies not with common japanese citizens but in your japanese government's refusal to acknowledge the historical guilt of your ancestors. The fact that young japanese are unaware of Japanese occupation of nations like Singapore shows that the japanese government has been wiping out (or skimming over) this part of japan's history from the school textbooks. Its the reason why countries like South Korea still bear a lot of anger towards Japan today ...
south korea should stop behaving like "victims" as it was still under the Japanese rule since 1910.
Korea was not even invaded during world war 2 from 1937 to 1945.
Many Korean men also joined the Imperial army including Park's father who was a army General then.
Many Korean army were stationed in other parts of SEA as well.
It's the same as the atrocities committed by the Korean army during the Vietnam war.
Get this historical fact right, and not watching too much of their anti Japan propaganda movies!

@@carrotjuice2986 are u japanese
Yep… during the japanese occupation my grand ma told me a different head was hung on the tree.. ranging from “crimes” such as pointing at a japanese soldier, to not knowing how to sing kimigayo.. thats how brutal u japanese were.. u were not the sane with other invaders such as british
大学卒業後、シンガポールに仕事で13年いました。お世話になったファミリーのおばあちゃんが戦時中の子供のころのお話をしてくれました。日本軍が来て、家族全員どこかに移動させられているとき、怖くて泣きそうだったのを唇を食いしばってこらえていたのを側にいた日本兵が見て、「よしよし泣くなよ」というような形で頷いてそばを通って行ったのを憶えているそうです。もうお亡くなりになりましたが、戦争のことで僕が一度も責められたことはありませんでした。
同国には戦争の名残が多く残されています。ブキティマにあるRifle range roadは、占領中、日本兵が現地人をその坂の上に立たせて、ライフル射撃の的にしたそうで、Rifle rangeという名前がつけられているそうです。また、現在は、入口（というサインもなく、ジャングルを入っていく感じですが）は閉ざされていますが、マックリッチー自然公園の森の奥に昭南神社の跡（手水鉢や石畳の階段）が残っており、戦死者の慰霊の為、会社の同僚たちと一緒にお供えと黙祷をしに行った事があります。貴重な経験でした。
My opinion has always been to not blame children for the sins of their parents.
But first they must not deny their parents mistake
Sins of the fathers , shackles worn by their children
My grandma who survived the occupation says the same thing. In her opinion, it is the fault of the old generation, not the current generation of Japanese
Its the country not the people
We only demand , dont deny
Mr. Ghibli Ojisan, thank you for making videos about Singapore in the most "unusual" ways. Your videos on Singapore is refreshing as you explore the heartlands and the less touristy areas of the island. More so I found that you are very down to earth and very honest with your opinions. In this episode, for example, you are not afraid to tell the truth even though, like you said, is a sensitive subject and a large part of your audience are Japanese.
You cannot erase history. The people of Japan know World War 2 did happened and Japan did invaded a large part of Asia. The atrocities committed by Japanese soldiers then, were well-documented and that is why the older generation (those who had experienced the Japanese Occupation) still bear grudges against Japan, especially those from China and South Korea.
After the war, Japan took on a new course, become ally with the US, industrialized and moved on to become the 2nd economic power of the world. From then on Japan has become a peaceful country. It is true, Lee Kuan Yew, the then Prime Minister of Singapore, was very impressed by the work ethics and success of their Japanese economic model. During the 60's, 70's and 80's, Singapore encouraged Japanese manufacturing firms and banks to invest in the island and that is how electronics became a major industry in Singapore.
So it is apt to say, as far as the Japanese Occupation is concern, "all is forgiven but not forgotten". It is true that Singaporeans and most of the world now view Japan favorably and positively as a peaceful and gracious country. Looking forward to a successful and spectacular 2020 Tokyo Olympics in Japan :)
I was taught the true history. It is very important. Thank you very much.
Today Japan's government didn't teach the truth to younger generations , the Japanese people that I've spoken to refuse to believe the atrocities from their ancestors
You should not include South Korea actually, Korea (since 1910) and Taiwan (since 1895) were still ruled by Japan at that time.
Therefore Korea was NOT invaded during world war 2 from 1937 to 1945.
There were also Korean and Taiwanese joined the Imperial army during world war 2, and some Koreans, including former President Park's father were army Generals.
One of them was sentenced to death in Philippines for atrocities committed by his Korean guards.
It's the same as the Korean army committed atrocities in Vietnam during the Vietnam war.
Please get this historical fact right, the Koreans were NOT victims during world war 2.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hong_Sa-ik
Thank you for posting this video. As a singaporean, I was quite surprised(or shocked?) that most young japanese do not know anything about what has happened here. I don't really blame them since they weren't taught about it, but hearing you speak about it openly in a frank and objective way made me feel glad that there are people like you who still care.
I hope this video reaches out to more people in the future.
The truth is confessed, but Japanese Government and education administration are educating these wars honestly.
But there are a lot of students who would like to forget a bad memory. Just like a fairy tale in a different world.
I apologize. Please permit everyone of a Singaporean. I'm sorry.
+maplefreak64
Who are you kidding ?
The japanese government is trying to hide Japan's guilt in WWII from its citizens by not mentioning or mentioning very little of that period in the school history text books, thats why youngsters are so clueless today.
The Japanese government is brought to power by people who wish to make Japan more powerful in the military, thats why Shinzo Abe has been trying to pass a law to allow Japan to send troops overseas with excuses like "to enforce peace" ... how ironic..

Well, have you ever read history textbook used in Japan?
Thanks for doing this. You were very respectful about this topic without coming across as pandering, you sound like a really genuine guy who just wants to learn more about people, their lives and the cultural context that they live in. I hope there will be more vloggers like you and please make more videos on Singapore! I work with the Japanese but they don't really venture out of the expat circle, so this is refreshing!
日本人としてとても考えさせられる内容でした。
年末に家族でシンガポールに行きますが、その前にこの動画を子供達に見せておきたいと思います。
またできれば記念碑に行って亡くなられた方々に一緒に手を合わせたいと思います。
素敵な動画をありがとうございました、これからも動画制作頑張ってください応援しています。
Here is a sad but beautiful place to visit en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kranji_War_Memorial
英語の字幕があるので、シンガポーリアンがコメントしていて涙が出てきます。恨んでないよって。ジブリおじさんすごい！
私も昔、シンガポールに住んでいて、日本人学校に通っていた時に学びました。
日本人が知っておきたい歴史だと思います。
動画をありがとうございます。
1年前から比べて確実にシンガポールの本当の姿をレポートしてくれるようになって とても良くなってるし 日本が過去にこの美しい南国の島で起こしてしまった間違いをしっかり勉強して伝える事 それはとても大切な事 そして この国にこうして住まわせて貰ってる事仕事させて貰ってる事に心から感謝する姿勢も大切です。 イーシュンのレポートやtoday の記事で見て 久しぶりに 見に来たけれど 素晴らしい成長に 同じ日本人として誇りに思った。 戦争の事はチャンギの戦争歴史館や今国立美術館でやってるシンガポール歴史展などを観てもらうともっと深く理解出来ると思う。 これからがもっと楽しみ。 日本人で固まるクセのある多くの日本人と違ってどんどんシンガポールのローカルの中に入って行って、新しいシンガポールの日本人像を作っていって下さい。 楽しみにしてる。 どこかで会える日を楽しみしてます
Thank you for making this video. I hope everyone who watches this video learn a thing or two. Much love for both countries 🇸🇬 🇯🇵
The Japanese need to know what their forefathers did in the Japanese Occupation from this video and not from their textbooks.
Too bad most of them never and don’t want to go outside their country
So a lot of Japanese still think the imperial japan is the hero but the allied is evil :/
It's a pity more Japanese are not aware of the atrocities committed in China, notably in Nanjing ect in 1937. I think they should be aware of these things, but not blamed for them.
James T
They refuse to admit it rather choose to believe what the media say about Imperial Japan heroism :p
(Though not all of them. some part of Japanese acknowledge what really happen back then :D)
Not only China and Singapore.
In Indonesia they did worse thing than Netherlands occupation
@@gabriellabonitasukianto6592 I could be wrong but I have a feeling these issues are not taught about in Japanese schools (correct me if I am wrong). If that is the case, I think the Japanese government is making a big error. The citizens of Germany are taught about the history of the Nazis ect. If one side is not aware of what happened in history, it can make it difficult for the other country to forgive.
Exactly!
Thank you for taking the time to make this video, especially educating yourself about the tragedy and history that had happened.
Thank you for making this video. It's hard to talk about the Japanese occupation to my Japanese friends but I think having a Japanese talking about it helps make it less confrontational.
The only banana notes that I know you can see in Japan is located in 遊就館, Tokyo. I saw it in that museum 2 years ago.
ジブおじへ
日本統治時代のお話をしていただいてありがとうございます。
初めてシンガポールの日本を知ることができました。本当に嬉しかったです。
私は台湾に縁があり、度々訪れます。親日のイメージがとても強い台湾ですが、もちろん全ての方が好意的ではないことも分かっています。
ただ当時を知らない日本人として、受け入れたいと思っています。
台湾は日本統治時代の建物を大事にしてくれ、更にとても親切にしてくれます。
今回の動画で、私もシンガポールへ行ってみようと思いました。
これからも縁があることに感謝しながら旅をしていきたいと思います。
My grandma told me that the Japanese soldiers pumped water into her brother until he died.
But she understands that it's pointless to blame younger Japanese for sins of their ancestors.
U were right that it was 占領 not 統治 .
Singaporeans like many things Japanese, so personally I think they choose to disregard atrocities which occurred, because how else can people move on ?
This is notwithstanding what u mentioned, which is that one can forgive but not forget.
However, true healing is possible only when Japan simply acknowledges what factually happened, like how Germans had acknowledged their war crimes.
Having said that, your video is a step in the right direction.
A good educational video. Thank you for sharing the monument. Looking forward to more videos. Good job!
貴重な情報ありがとう。
シンガポールにこんな碑があるとは知らなかった。貴重な情報になりました。ありがとうございます😐
Thank you Mr. Ojisan for this video! I'm really grateful that you took this video to educate other Japanese about what really happened during WW2 in Singapore.
You really have my respect and my support for your content!
It is great that you have done this video and for the factual report of what has happened in the past. As a Singaporean, I do agree that it is important for us to move forward. What happened in the past should stay in the past. Forgive but never forget. Ultimately we have to move on for the better of our nation, so that our future generations can have better lives and the economy gets better.
Thank you Ojisan for making the video. As a Japanese descendant, you’re willing to face the war sin of your forefathers. You have my respect.
Mum told me that her father went through Sook Ching. He was asked, “do you know Chiang Kai-shek?” My grandpa said that he didn't know who he was and he did not receive education. He was beaten by the translator with a cane on his leg and asked to leave. Till today, I believe that a few kinds of people were on a one way death trip as the Japanese Army wanted to get rid of intellectual people and tattooed gangsters.
Not all Japanese then were bad; there were Japanese peace lovers from local Buddhist organisation been thrown into jail, because they were against the war. A documentary that I was watching showed that the low ranking Japanese soldiers did not want to kill, but the Japanese government then used Shinto to control the common people’s thinking; brainwashed them to believe that the war was a holy movement. Evil politicians are always poisonous to the world. Few years ago, due to the itinerary, my Japanese tour guide mum brought her Japanese tourists to Sun Yat Sen Nanyang Memorial Hall. Some, probably the older ones, cried and apologised to my mum.
My generation (80s baby) was raised under Japanese pop cultures like manga, anime, games and more. We travelled in Toyota Crown taxi, eat at Yoshinoya and will shop in Daiso. In addition, we did not go through the war, thus we could be more forgiving. However never forget the cruel lessons that history has taught us, so that we humans will avoid the same mistake as a whole.
I have a Japanese friend who told me that the occupation was wrong but if Singapore kept bringing up the occupational topic, the relation between the two countries cannot progress. I had been caught off guard and no idea what to reply him. If I were to encounter the same incident again, I would say the same thing as Mr Lee Kwan Yew - “Forgive But Never Forget”. It’s because of the endurance of our Singaporean forefathers so we might live today.
Your videos are great, thank you for making them!
As an overseas Chinese living in Canada, I deeply appreciated you honesty. Please let the people of Japan know about this history. I forgive but not forget. As one of the ancient Chinese saying..."If one know one's own mistake, and corrected it, what a great achievement in life".
シンガポール出身、シンガポール育てのシンガポール人です。日本語はまだ勉強中ので、うまく伝えられない部分もあると思いますが、コメントを読んでいる日本からの視聴者の方がいっらしゃるので、日本語で書かせていただきます。
確かに、第二次世界大戦の時に、シンガポールに住んでいた人が日本軍隊に残虐なことをされましたが、歴史は歴史で、今はあの時のことを考えてばかりいるべきではないかなと、私は思います。小学校の時から、戦争の時に日本の軍隊がどんな酷いことをしたのか、何の戦争犯罪を犯したのかが結構教わっていました。クラスで自分の祖父母から聞いた戦争時代の話を語り合ったりすることも多かったです。それでも、日本を許さずに憎み続けるより、ただ当時は何が起きたかとか、何故そうなったのかとか、どうやってそのようなことを防ぐことができるのかについて勉強しました。
シンガポールは小さくて弱い国として、中国や韓国と違い、国際関係の方面から考えると、敵を作る余裕がない。むしろ、戦争や統治みたいなことを防ぐため、いい関係を作るべきのではないでしょうか。とは言え、戦争の時に日本軍隊や憲兵隊が犯した罪を認めない日本の政治家もいて、戦時中の事件を否定する教科書もあって、外交問題になったこともありました。それはなんだろうなと思って、日本が第二次世界大戦に何をしたのかをちゃんと教えて欲しいのです。まあ、それを変えることが日本人ではない私には不可能と分かっています。日本の方もそういうことより自分の生活や仕事や子供の教育などもっと身近なことを重要視するのも当然ですし、今の日本人を責めるべきではないと思います。
過去にはシンガポール住民がとんでもない残酷なことを日本の軍隊にされたことが知るべき事実ですが、過去のことにこだわらないようにした方がずっとマシと、私は思っています。
Dasaher
ありがとうございます🙏
私は学校で今まで日本が第二次世界大戦中どれだけ悪いことをしたか教わってきました。でも悪い事だけが教科書に書かれ、事実ではない事も書かれてあり、そしてそのfakeが国際問題を助長させていた部分もありました。ここからは、これまでの日本の教育の真実を知ってください。
戦後、日本の教育はGHQによって決められた教育しか出来ませんでした。今、戦時中の事件を否定する教科書が現れた理由は2015年、戦争が終わって70年が経ち、アメリカの公文書から日本でWGIPという洗脳教育政策が行われていたという事実が明らかになったからです。なぜ日本はアメリカと戦ったか、戦わなければならなかったのか、私たち日本人は学校教育で教わる機会がありませんでした。その歴史の教育方法を日本は見直しているだけです。①米国の原爆を正当化するために南京大虐殺の数が操作されすぎている事②韓国のいわゆる徴用工問題のデマと証言者のfake③日本のマスメディアの偏向詐欺報道。
こういった背景もあると言うことを知っていただけたらと思います。
最後に、言い訳のように聞こえるかもしれませんが、日本は国際的なアジア人差別と白人帝国主義と共産主義と戦わなければいけなかったのです。だからといって華僑の虐殺は許される事ではありません。日本を許してほしい訳ではありませんが、真実を知ってほしいです。長文失礼しました。Sorry for long writing.
Thank you for your greatest mercy.
I'll never forget our sin, your sorrow and the broad mind of Singaporean.
We'll continue to pass it down.
Brave of you to tackle a sensitive topic. The war was terrible and it scarred a whole generation of Singaporeans. My parents who lived through that terrible time refused to buy anything made in Japan until the late 90s. I sometimes struggle to understand what they saw/heard/felt to feel so traumatised for so long. Anyway, it's always good to learn from history so that we'll never repeat the mistakes. Cheers!
色々と勉強になるね✨🥰
Thank you for making such videos. Since the Japanese government doesn’t want to tell these to their people, it’s important for people like you to make videos like this.
The younger generation has not experienced the war, and also due to the influx of Japanese pop culture, we have positive feelings towards the general Japanese population. You guys are innocent anyway
Japanese learns this war twice at an elementary school and a junior high school. When it's a high school student, it's learned again.
Half of person probably remembers for life. But unfortunately half of person forgets this history.
But I assert that Japanese Government and a school education don't hide this fact. It's educated honestly.
@@maplefreak64 Yes but the textbooks only gloss over it, and do not teach the full extent of monstrosities that Japan committed. Isn't that right? Just like in this video, the numbers of people killed are totally different.
@@DragonBonder It isn't done to argue about the dead number of people, but please don't forget that an exaggeration by Chinese propaganda is a source.
I don't think a view of Japanese Government is right, but it isn't possible to believe a basis of 50,000 people of dead.
The trial by the United Kingdom and the number of correct dead were unclear after the war. British investigation estimated the dead at 2500 people and dispensed justice. Material is preserved by British Archives.
The records an officer of the Japanese military had are 5000 people of dead.
A study also follows this at present. Even a specialist of a university and a researcher don't grasp the correct number of people.
@@maplefreak64 The purpose is not to argue, but it's important to know the facts so that we can learn from it and prevent bad things in history from happening again.
It's not just China though. Other countries in Asia have been invaded, and they also report a higher number than what Japan admits. Recent research have brought down the death toll, but it's still more than Japanese statistics.
@@DragonBonder Yes. I completely agree.
Thanks for the courage to post such a sensitive video.

Thank you for making such a sensative video especially you being a Japanese! Even though I have never gone through the war, I remembered my grandmother telling us horror stories she experienced during her times! Yes, it was a terrible history and we always believes that forgiveness will set you free from the emotional baggage that will hurt you even more! So glad that our ex PM Lee Kuan Yew had pushed forth the friendship between the 2 countries that now our people can enjoy the benefits that this friendship brings!
Respect for talking about this topic. Good on you.
Really love your videos! I’m from Singapore!
I'm Singaporean, thank you for speaking the truth. Forgive but never forget. Welcome to Singapore.
As a Singaporean I thank you for making this video. " Those who do not know history are bound to repeat it"
Cant help to feel emotional at the afterthoughts at the end of video.
Thank you for talking about this sensitive topic, Ghib san.
深いけど日本人であるならば知っておくべき事ですね。これを知った上で私はシンガポールに行きシンガポールの人達とふれ合えたらいいな～😘と思っています。GHIBさんほんとにありがとうね😊
とても勉強になりました。シンガポールって素晴らしい国ですね！
I remember when my grandmother used to tell me about her past experiences living through the Japanese occupation(blood on bayonet rifles, as she would say it)(eating tree roots/barks and water with just a few grains of rice just to survive), mostly about my grandfather who tried to help others as best as he can regardless of how poor of a condition he was in. That he would beg and plea for others who were suspects to be against the occupation and his head would be buried beneath the mud under the soldier's boots, he was mostly lucky she said but his luck ran out when he was drag away one evening never to return again(she teared while struggling to say this part). Because of that she grabbed what she can and escaped to the nearby woods with her children fearing what's about to come.
Having said that, she also mentioned that no young women were safe(sometimes young men as well) from Japanese soldiers at all as gang rape were rampant and she would always hear abuse, screams and pleas for help but all she could do was helplessly grit her teeth and cover her ears tightly. Despite these tragedies, she also said although most of them were bad, some were good and chose to believe that they had their reasons and families.
Personally I have nothing against Japanese people and I never went through what they had experienced, but since I studied history I just dislike the fact that the Japanese government just disregard the severity of the situation as something minor when those were clearly war crimes. I feel like for change to happen one must learn from past mistakes, own up(not to feel humiliated but rather humility) and educate the younger generations so that something like that will not happen again(which I am super grateful for your video). Again, I, like most Singaporeans have the same mindset of "blame not the offspring of the ones who are truly responsible for committing the atrocities, for it is not for them to bear.". My view on Japanese people has been nothing but positive.
Do you know your late president SR Nathan and Lee Kuan Yew were Japanese interpretator and kempeitai? They betrayed Singaporeans, just for your info.
@@koalatheworld I would very much like to know where that piece of information source is from. Please advise and also I don't see how there are any correlation to what I've wrote.
@@InfernoBeer Your lack of understanding shows that your govt has removed this piece of info from the history textbook of Singapore. Your view of WW2 is one sided. Try reading various sources, including the biography of your late despot Lee Kuan Yew. Lee clearly mentioned that he was "working" (collaborating) for the Japanese as a translator at the propaganda department and his job was to provide info of the chinese civilians to the Japanese. Ask yourself, if your country is being invaded, would you seek opportunity to work for your enemy by learning their language and helping them with information? SR Nathan openly admited that he learnt Japanese so as to work for the Japanese. In fact, he spoke fluent Japanese and was a good friend of the Japanese government until his death. I hope Singaporeans will question the credibility of their history textbook. But I doubt they would since they are poor in critical thinking due to their unhealthy education system and political culture.
@@koalatheworld Ah I see, so you are one of those people.
Firstly, in my comment, again, nothing has been mentioned about LKY or SR Nathan. Whether or not they betrayed Singaporeans is another topic at hand and then there's... you, trying to bring irrelevant topic in which has no correlation to what I've wrote whatsoever, whether or not they were traitors does not change the fact that the occupation did happen and well before they were actually "traitors".
Secondly, what I've mentioned above were facts which can be backed by many sources of which you can easily watch documentaries, WW2 records and accounts or read them online. So which part of my view on Japanese occupation on Singapore one sided?
Thirdly, you were probably trying to link what you've mentioned to what I said about "I feel like for change to happen one must learn from past mistakes, own up(not to feel humiliated but rather humility) and educate the younger generations so that something like that will not happen again". And since they had openly admitted to what they had done already, so what were you truly arguing about?
Finally, before you start blaming our educational system(Which I have to admit, I am not a big fan of at all) and of our "poor" critical thinking, I am pretty sure LKY's biography is in our national Museum and also to answer your question on "Ask yourself, if your country is being invaded, would you seek opportunity to work for your enemy by learning their language and helping them with information", of course I would, if it meant everyone will have it a little easier by helping them from the inside, I would gladly accept the title of betrayer or traitor. Oh and uh, by no means I am saying LKY or SR Nathan were without flaws by the way or defending them.
@@koalatheworld bla blah blah blah. A foreigner who seemingly knows more than a local Singaporean. blah blah blah blah. Im not being a troll. But really blah blah blah blah. Bet you're like one of those guys sitting in the comfort of their home, typing away on the keyboard I support all HK rioters democracy and freedom on YT, when you're not even from HK as well.
This vlog you posted was meaningful and important to send a wide message back to your viewers especially in JAPAN especially from this generation.
とても良い動画だった！
Thank you for opening up about this, Oji-san. Indeed this is a sensitive topic. Our country, too, was occupied by Japan during WWII. My grandparents and grand aunts told me vivid stories about it. However, they also told us stories of soldiers befriending them. I think we were all a victim of circumstances. Horrid things happened in the past, the important thing now is that we move along, learn from the past, and work together to build a better future. Part of my interest is South East Asian history and culture, both historical and modern, thus, I followed your channel. I'm a subscriber from the Philippines. Keep it up!
When I was in Hiroshima, I made it a point to visit the museum and sites of the bomb, and even though I knew personal stories about the atrocities against civilians in Singapore, I went to the Peace shrine and paid my sincere respects there for the Japanese losses. But you would hardly think any Japanese would do likewise in Singapore. Thank you for highlighting this memorial out of respect for the civilians.
Thank you for this
Thank you very much!
日本はシンガポールと香港の占領地政策が非常にまずかった。
特に香港の食料確保策は戦局悪化もあって大失策、多大な餓死者を出した。
両地の歴史資料館等をたづねても日本の観光客はどこも少なかったな。
「戦時中の日本の占領地政策はすばらしかった」みたいによく言われてますけど、歴史を学ぶならダメな部分も沢山あったことを理解しないといけないですよね。
そちらでも中国人なので嘘決まってるでしょ

Thank you for making this video Ojisan. From another point of view, isn't it strange to think that your country once owned and ruled Singapore?
I'm Japanese. I'm a personal thought, but Japanese doesn't think this.
Japan invaded Southeast Asia for the purpose of securement of resources to go to war against Europe and America.
There was no right. That made a mistake in being selfish.
Europe and America retreated by a war, and Japan discounted.
It's as a result of the war that a country of Singapore and South East Asia became independent, and countries in Southeast Asia are the biggest victor nation.
In fact, the Japanese is thankful for the generosity of the Lee Kuan Yew prime minister and the Singaporean.
thank you for this video ghib, stay awesome. Lee Kuan Yew and his team definitely built Singapore from the ground up.
I really respect you for your willingness to talk about this part of our history's darkest moment.
シンガポールは器が広いなと思った。
シャーリーCharlotte 正確には二極化してて若者でも下手すると中国人より反日。
Honestly, we Singaporean no longer hold any more grudge towards the Japanese, after all it’s war and the Japanese suffer just as much. The Japanese in Singapore has actually printed an apology in the Straits Times local newspapers before and we appreciate it. Japan also help Singapore economically during the 70s when she just gained independence. If you want to know more about the history of war in Singapore, do visit Fort Factory Museum In Bukit Timah. And near by up the slope into the nature reserve behind Hill View estate used to have a Japanese shrine during war period, but it’s no longer there, I understand many older Japanese do visit that area, you can check it out. Cheers
That shrine is at the top of Bukit Batok Nature Park, although nothing much is left of it right now. There's a simple war memorial in place now.
You can only speak for yourself. You cannot speak for all Singaporeans, not even PAP.
I think you are talking about Bukit Batok Hill. There used to be a memorial for the fallen Japanese soldiers. The Allied POW also got permission to build another memorial nearby for the fallen Allied soldiers. Both of them were torn down after the war. There is only a memorial plaque now.
The Japanese also build a Shrine at MacRitchie Reservoir. But it was destroyed by the Japanese before they surrender.
@@Koriolis Here you go insulting the Singaporeans who remembered the war and have not forgotten it, where hundred of thousands innocents suffered, were tortured, killed cruelly, inhumanely. There is no animosity or grudge now. But forgive does not mean forget. Thats why we build our memorials for remembrance and our national defence against any future aggressors. People should be aware of the sensitivities involved.
@@Koriolis There are still many Japanese who are ignorant of their history or deny their acts of aggression in the war, the sufferings inflicted upon the people in the region and the atrocities committed. Some even claim that they were the liberators who saved the countries from the colonialists. People ought to know and acknowledge the true history, which then form the basis for forgiveness. .
Nice content, keep it up dude
Glad to have you here in Singapore posting such meaning educational videos to educate the folks back in Japan, while acknowledging the fact that the historical events were nothing but tragic. As LKY said, we learn to forgive and move on to better progression together. Thumbs up for you 👍🏻
その場所には行ったことがあります。
日本人として、戦争の歴史は学ぶべきだと、日本人に対して思います。
難しい問題で、韓国とかの話にもなりますが、片側だけの意見だけで意見出来るものではない問題です。
結論は多くのシンガポールの方のコメントの通りで、過去の事を言ってもという感じだと思いますし、こういう事を学んで二度と起こさないように努めることが今を生きる我々の責任だと思います。
歴史は繰り返す。学んでいきたいですね。
リークアンユー首相は本当に偉いと思います。
シンガポール国立博物館もその手の情報がありますので、ぜひ行ってみてください！！
南京、慰安婦、徴用工、もううんざりだ。教科書に載せるべきは、こちらだと思う。
This is a great video, I appreciate your courage for making it! Lovely to hear your thoughts on it. I didn't know they sold banana notes in Chinatown, though I'm not surprised hahaha. (The uncles were playing chinese chess! Very similar to shogi) Primary schools will usually bring students to this memorial for a day trip, so most singaporeans will have been at least once, but it's true most don't come often. Looking forward to more of your videos! Subscribed!
Thanks for the video. Very educational.
Wow. Love your content. Keep it up
こんばんは。リ.クワンユさん、何て素敵な方、、何て素敵な言葉を遺したのでしょう。
そして、ジブリおじさん、素敵な動画をありがとうございます。
I remember my grandfather told me that the Japanese were very evil during the war that they would just pick out anyone and kill them. They would even throw babies up in the air then stab them with knife on their guns.
However not all of them were evil. My grandfather was almost killed because he accidentally hit a Japanese soldier’s boot, which he did not notice, when he was playing. Normally this would call for killing by the soldier but that soldier just smiled at my grandfather, smiled at him and gave him a sweet.
When I hear this story, I felt really conflicted. We really cannot hate all the soldiers during the war. Of course a lot of them were evil but there were also a lot of them dispatched for war when they didn’t want to. I don’t really agree in “forgive and forget”. What they did in the past is wrong and those lives and ruined lost can’t be returned. However I believe that what we should do is “remember and move on happily”
That's what LKY said. Forgive, but never forget.
What LKY said was "Forgive but never forget"...
Which is the same as "Remember"....
Some say some soldier speak hokkien..likely Taiwanese Japanese soldier
@@junweitan3339 Taiwanese teachers were sent to Malaya as spies working and gathering info for Japan
My late grandpa told me he was hiding under the drain and 1 Japanese Soldier walked past and saw him, the soldier didn't do anything and just walked away
Thank you! I respect your courage and honesty.
Thank you for sharing this. I am a Singaporean, and I have visited Japan numerous times in the past years. Japanese people are friendly, humble and patient. Many of them do not know the history, but I guess it is not really important for them. Glad that you made this video and hopefully shared this deep history with your fans from Japan!
Thank you for making this video on such a sensitive topic. I think being a small country like ours, we cannot afford to be angry with anyone. We seek co-operation rather than to seek hatred. I thought you might consider going an in-depth interview of Albirex Niigata (Singapore) based at Jurong East. I am always curious how those young soccer players see Singapore, especially since most are here for only one season. And yes, we have a Japanese team in our very own S-League for more than 10 years.
Interesting view from a Japanese. Appreciate the honest depiction.
I think you are the first Japanese Vlogger about Singapore. It is our pleasure. Thank you for your videos.
I really like your video.
少し重い内容だけど、知ることが出来て良かったです。
シンガポールをもっと深く知りたくなってきました。
Thank you for doing this video. Please go see 'The Bicentennial Experience' show on Fort Canning Centre. It closes on Dec 31 and is the 101 crash course on Singapore history. In fact, we actually have 700 years of history! The tickets are all booked out now but you can try walking in at off peak periods at lunch time (12pm - 1pm), dinner time (6pm-7pm) or the last shows at 8.50pm onwards. New tickets will be released for the 24/12 to 31/12 period on 16/12 at 8am. Please go to bicentennial.sg to book them or on SISTIC. The show is called 'From Singapore to Singaporean: The Bicentennial Experience' and it is a must go this year.
Christine Chan it’s fully booked again!
@@xuanxuan23 Not the end of the world yet, off-peak periods are lunch time 12pm-1pm, dinner time 6pm-7pm, last shows at 8.50pm onwards. It has been raining a lot lately so there is a chance of people dropping out also. Weekdays are not as crazy as weekends. If you're 1 or 2 pax, it's still possible though you may need to wait a bit like say 15-20min. Ideally, best to get tickets online, if people can't go and inform the SB folks, tickets do go back into the SISTIC system as well.
This is a hard topic to approach but kudos to you for doing this video. It's 2020. People evolve. We all learn from history and past mistakes.
You are to be commended for presenting this honest video on a sensitive issue. I hope people learn something about the horrors of war.
i love your video! u really did your research well . Some info to add :
on the 15 Feb , its the Total Defence Day. Not many pple know about this. Its the date that Sgp surrender to the Japanese . U can read more online about General Percival surrender to General Yamashita at the Ford factory on 15 Feb 1942. U can also visit the 'Battle Box' on Fort Canning.
On this date every year, the emergency siren will sound at 12noon to remind citizens of this fateful day. Also, there will be uniformed groups paying respect to the glorious dead at the memorial tower at City Hall and also at the Kranji War memorial.
Thank you for talking about it. When I was a little girl, my grandfather would share stories of the atrocities of the Japanese soldiers, the killings he witnessed. He's lucky he's not one of the victim, he said due to the colour of his skin. He's not Chinese, and older, hence not a target.
I apologize for that truly.

Appreciate that you made a video talking about the Japanese's occupation of Singapore for your people.
Young Singaporean here again^^ At first I was surprised that you'd talk abt such a sensitive topic. Towards the end of the vid, I'm instead very grateful u made this video, because I didn't know not many younger Japanese know abt this history w Singapore. It was an important history that I think deserves to be more widely known in Japan too. Since in Singapore, this history is basically common knowledge to people of all ages who have gone through our Primary and Secondary education system. So if it's widely known here, it shld be the same over there too. Thks for making this more known to younger Japanese then ^^
It is easy for younger generations like us to "forgive, forget and move forward". But for those who were actually living at that time having actual experiences still living in their mind, not forgiving is totally justified.
先日この動画を拝見させて頂いて、今日同じ所でバナナマネー購入しました。
こういう歴史は日本人でも知らない人が多いと思います。この紙幣を使って周りの人に伝えていければと思います。
Thank you for bravely talking about this topic in such a sensitive and respectful manner. Hope more Japanese like you learn more about the history of their forefathers and the harm they did during the Japanese Occupation of China and Southeast Asia.
Your videos are unique
The Japanese Occupation is taught in Singapore education system (History) and of course, I was taught on it too. Although the sympathy and sadness seeps in, we Singaporean no longer hold grudges. There are no hate or discrimination particularly towards the Japanese because of what happened. To be honest, I love the Japanese people, the culture, the food and the country. As Ghibil mentioned in the video: "Forgive but never forget", we forgive and accept whatever that had happened but we won't forget the lesson taught from the history of the Japanese Occupation.
A huge part of what I could recall that was taught by my history teacher was that the Japanese soldiers were really smart because they used bicycle to invade Singapore to keep a low profile. I'm sure if you search the internet you can definitely find this information instantaneously.
As a Japanese, we are really sorry for what our ancestor did in Singapore. Regardless of past, Singapore people have been positive and progressing, then developed. Recently Japanese history education got changed. We have learned WW2 3 times(Elementary school, JHS, HS) and also Korean, Chinese, Singapore and other South East Asian histories. We don't forget what Japan did, and we don't forget that Singapore fought against White Supremacy together and got damage and became victim due to Japan. Hopefully, we can grow up together again and become good partner like Taiwan and US by getting over the past. Please. Sincerely.
Should also try to visit Singapore War Sites such as Kranji War Memorial, Fort Canning Park and Fort Siloso located at Sentosa Island
I try🥰
Also the Changi Memorial Chapel, now open after redevelopment.
Thanks for the interesting video. Have you visited the National Museum in Singapore? You could go there to learn more about Singapore during the war years.
Respect. Not an easy topic to speak about as a Japanese. You did well.
I currently own a few of the ‘banana’ notes... my mother-in-law passed them to me. Looking at them does evoke haunting memories of the atrocities of war during the Japanese Occupation.
毎年2月15日には追悼式が行われますね。2017年には現地日本人学校の児童生徒全員で折った鶴を生徒代表2名が持参して追悼しました。ナショナルミュージアム、旧フォード工場（オールドフォードファクトリー）にも昭南時代の展示品が見られます。現地日本人学校の児童生徒が社会科学習として訪問して過去の歴史を学んでいます。もし機会があったら訪れてみてください。
Thanks to you, I now know how the banana dollar note looked like that my parents used :)
the Occupationか・・、とても勉強になりました。
ジブおじ、ありがとう。
