Intricate strategies,
subtle plots, great follies, explosive action - we take you through
the intense fire of battle and the fog of war that led to Singapore's
fall in WWII. Called 'Gibraltar of the East'... Singapore fell in 8
days. Is it really a story of 'a navy that never was, of defenders
left in the dark and of guns pointed in the wrong direction'? Should
Percival really bear the brunt of it all? Get to know them - The Tiger
of Malaya, the Malay Regiment, the AIF. Uncover the realities shrouded
by seductive myths and deceptive propaganda.

...During the War...
World War II
The British Empire in Singapore began to crumble with the onslaught
of World War II.
"Asia for the Asiatics"
The Japanese launches their invasion of Southeast Asia in December 1941.
By 15 February 1942, Singapore had been conquered and was to remain a
Japanese bastion till 12 September 1945
The Japanese Occupation
The years of Japanese Occupation were years of hardship where the average
Singaporean faced starvation and poverty.
"The
Impregnable Fortress"
The ease which the Japanese took Singapore despite British promises that
the island was an impregnable fortress, shook the confidence the people
had in their colonial masters.
This spurred the desire for self-government and independence.
