The Japanese named Singapore Syonan-To which means Light of the South. We have learnt how the people's lives changed when we were under their rule. Students had to learn the Japanese Language and sing Japan's Anthem. At Assembly in schools, they raised the Japanese flag. Well, everyone suffered but look at the other side of the coin too.

When Singapore was Syonan-To
The Japanese named Singapore Syonan-To which means Light of the South. We have learnt how the people's lives changed when we were under their rule. Students had to learn the Japanese Language and sing Japan's Anthem. At Assembly in schools, they raised the Japanese flag. Well, everyone suffered but look at the other side of the coin too.
