(The cheque given to the Japanese from the Chinese community)
There is another new rule under the house; respecting the presence of the Japanese, of course. Every time that we pass by the Japanese men, soldiers or authorities, we need to bow at them. Ridiculous. But there are many places that the Japanese were having propaganda campaigns. It is like they are wiping their minds and control them by influence. There are many news that we are treated as sisters and brothers. How ironic. I saw a Japanese man kicking a beggar on the streets. Poor fella; he could have been spared.
(A student studying Japanese)
To influence more of the Singaporeans, they controlled the broadcasting and made a rule that they shall not hear other radio stations except the Japanese only. They say those who were caught listening non-Japanese broadcasts were punished or eventually killed. And also in cinemas there are only Japanese movies and propaganda films are shown. They are too much. However, some of them are already under their fullest control.
