Before I comment on the 75th Anniversary of the of the Fall of Singapore, I must expressed the enigmatic assassination of the North Korean guy in KL. Bizarre is the word n yet that's how the North Korea regime is all abt. Unpredictable, maniac n totally deadly ruthless!
Now the main headline: the 75th Anniversary of the Fall of Singapore to Japan.
Passed the war memorial this morning on a bus n saw the assembled crowds. There were 2 curious looking Japanese ladies on the bus n I could not bring myself to tell them what the fuzz was all abt.
Today supposedly is the Total Defence Day too. Or was it yesterday. Anyway, it seems the government is trying hard to let us remember how miserable life can be if u r ruled by some invaders from foreign forces. That Singaporeans must practice the 5 pillars of total defence to keep our nation safe. Not sure we will face external aggression but definitely possible to be attacked by some radical fanatic terrorists. This is probably the biggest threat as it is hard, though we can never ruled it out since war is insanity, that neighbours can be aggressors.
May there be peace forever. If not, our armed forces r ready for combat to defend against enemies at the doors!!
Make peace not war is the ultimate objective. Yet, preparing for the most improbable is needed.
