Story of the investment to begin in Singapore (Japanese Edition)

---

While destroying the bridge created a slight delay, the Japanese reached Singapore on the 8th of February, launching into the Battle of Sarimbun Beach. After a successful victory, Japan then launched into their second stage of the attack , during which they sustained heavy casualties but were ultimately victorious due to a miscommunication between Allied officers.

By the 15th of February, food and water rations were low, weapon ammunition was almost exhausted, and a final meeting was held in which Allied officers agreed that no counterattack would be possible. The defeat was described by Winston Churchill as the "worst disaster" [6] in British military history, and is ultimately the largest surrender in British military history.

Throughout the three and a half years of occupation by the Empire of Japan, Singapore, as well as many of the empire's other colonies, were subjected to multiple war crimes.

Throughout this two week purge, referred to as Sook Ching , Singaporean men aged between 18 and 50 were subjected to a brief screening process and, if deemed anti-Japanese, were arrested and transported to one of several remote execution sites to be killed. While many British and Australian POWs were held in Changi Prison , a number of them were also forced into slavery by the Empire of Japan, sent to work on a number of infrastructure projects throughout Southeast Asia.

A new currency was introduced, popularly referred to as banana money.

This currency was quickly subjected to major inflation, as Japanese officials would print more whenever they needed it and it was also easily counterfeited. While there were a number of guerrilla attacks on the Japanese, and the United States periodically bombed Japanese bases , occupation did not end until Japan's military surrender at the end of World War II. The interim period between Japanese occupation and re-establishment of British occupation was marked by major criminal activity and revenge-killings against the Japanese.

Japan and Singapore had little interaction for decades following the occupation. In , a request for reparations was submitted to the Japanese government, but Japan refused them on the grounds that Singapore was still a crown colony of Britain, and they had already paid reparations to Britain in Singapore existed as a crown colony of the United Kingdom until , during which they merged to become a state of Malaysia. However, following major political disagreements and racial disputes, the Malaysian government unanimously voted to expel Singapore from the union, resulting in Singapore's complete independence on August 9, Following the establishment of independence, Japan and Singapore reached an agreement for fifty million Singaporean Dollars, though Japan did not offer an official apology for war crimes committed during the occupation.

Japan's private sector was instrumental in the economic development of Singapore during its early years, with the Japanese corporations Seiko establishing a major manufacturing hub, and Sumitomo Chemical Corporation establishing Singapore's first-ever petrochemical plant. The Japan Productivity Center also advised Singapore on how to improve their own productivity. A major milestone in relations occurred in with the signing of the Japan-Singapore Economic Partnership Agreement. This document served as Japan's first economic partnership agreement with another country.

Japan and Singapore have benefited from a positive relationship over the past few decades.
