Siglap: Massacre site near Bedok South Avenue/Bedok South Road (previously known as Jalan Puay Poon).

This is Bedok South Horizon BTO.

I am not surprised if some of these incidents were hushed up. In those days no mobile phone cameras and social media.

That's my point

Hard to hush
Cos at that time , it's locals hired to dig, not foreign workers
Probably some will cry when they realise what it is there

And the BASIC Is call up all the religious leaders to give rites etc
If you don't even give the wrongly dead that as a minimum, those who dug out the dead will be pissed and will talk

Part of the East-West runway is still remaining today. If you look at Google Earth, it is yhe spot where you can see a few maritime patrol aircrafts parking side by side.

Neh show the Siglap Valley of Tears?

That is shown as Changi ms 8. From there, Jalan Puay Hoon went down the valley.

Should make Japs visit them too if they are here on guided tour.

TIagong in the crucible of war, amidst the chaos and uncertainty of the Second World War, a singular act of heroism unfolded—a story not widely known, yet emblematic of the courage and resilience that would shape the destiny of a man named LeeKY.
The year was 1944, and the Japanese occupation weighed heavily on the inhabitants of Singapore. In the midst of the turmoil, a clandestine group of resistance fighters found themselves in a perilous situation. Ten brave souls, united by a shared determination to defy the oppressors, had gathered in a secret meeting place to plan a daring act of rebellion.
Unbeknownst to them, their clandestine meeting had been betrayed. The Japanese, with their ruthless efficiency, had discovered the plot and devised a sinister plan to quell the uprising. As the resistance members gathered, a grenade was hurled into their midst, threatening to snuff out the flame of their defiance.
Amidst the confusion and panic, it was LeeKY who instinctively reacted with unparalleled courage. In the face of imminent danger, he leaped toward the deadly projectile, his body a shield against the impending devastation. The world seemed to slow as the grenade exploded, and in that moment of sacrifice, Lee absorbed the brunt of the blast.
The air was thick with smoke and debris, and as it settled, a miraculous scene unfolded. LeeKY, battered and bloodied but miraculously alive, lay amidst the wreckage. His body had shielded the others from the worst of the blast, sparing them from the fate that had befallen so many others who dared to defy the Japanese occupation.
The ten individuals, shaken but alive, looked upon Lee with a mix of gratitude and awe. His selfless act of valor had not only saved their lives but had become a symbol of resistance—a testament to the indomitable spirit that refused to be extinguished even in the darkest hours of war.
Word of LeeKY's heroism spread quietly, whispered among those who dared to dream of a free Singapore. The resistance, fueled by the spark of hope ignited by that fateful night, continued its struggle against the oppressors. Lee, forever changed by the scars of war, would go on to play a pivotal role in the shaping of a nation—a leader whose legacy would be etched not only in the history books but in the hearts of those who had witnessed his selfless bravery in the face of adversity.

Good idea. The young ones hv no idea cos they are not taught in school.

Fu ckin japs still not 100% facing up to their deeds.

If this is LeeKY is the translator, then this article is full of rubbish written by IBs. if he's so patriotic, why didn't he join Force 136 to fight the japs? And rather by a coward working for the enemy. With this, he lost all rights to tell us that we need to defend the country with our lives.
To me, his role as translator is one that translates the anti japs and innocent civilians to the japs, leading to their massacre.

actually wouldn't translator fit SR Nathan more cause he actually did do some translation for the Japanese

Could LKY actually speak Japanese when he didn't learn Mandarin till he was old?
