Japanese Propaganda

Yes, I agree that the worst problem Singaporeans confront during the Nipponese occupation was living in constant fear of the Nipponese alternatively than Nipponese propaganda. The Japanese had claimed that they were liberating Southeast Asia from colonialism, but in humankind they were far harsher rulers than the British ever were. In addition to civilian casualties, some cruel acts were committed by Japanese troops, particularly by the Kempeitai. The Kempetai were the Japanese police. Commoners were made to bow to them as they passes, if not, they would be punished by kicking, hitting, and some(prenominal) more.The Japanese, to purify the commoners and not look at unloyals going against them, introduced a system called Sook Ching. There were private informers all over the island. When asked by the Japanese to select and accused, they would simply spot to anyone. These people were rounded up and taken to a deserted rove to be shot and killed. The local people lived in fear at that time because they did not know who worked for the Japanese and who did not. This caused distrust of the people. People no longer knew who to trust, as the secret informers were well paid and they had a senior high cultivate chance of not being rounded up for shooting.This was unfair to Singaporeans as people were being killed for small matters like not bowing garbage grim to the Japanese when they pass. This then caused many people to lose their closed ones. Japanese propaganda during World War 2 was designed to assist the ruling government activity of Japan. Singapore was then renamed to Syonan-to. Propaganda Campaigns were carried out to influence people to pledge their loyalty to Japan. Students in Singapore also had to learn Japanese in school. Children were marched to school where half their time was spent on indoctrination on loyalty to the emperor, and frugality, obedience, honesty, and diligence.Teachers were instructed to ascertain Japanese science based on t he Imperial Way. Students were condition more physical education and required to perform community service. Those who left school after completing six years were required to see to it night school for Japanese history and ethics, military training for boys, and kin economics for girls. Radio stations were controlled by the Japanese so that wholly local broadcasts were allowed. Singaporeans did not have any freedom and everything had to be through with(p) according to the Japaneses ways.I feel that the worst problem Singaporeans faced during the Japanese occupation was living in constant fear of the Japanese rather than Japanese propaganda. People were killed for small reasons, like not bowing down to the Japanese. They did not dare to go out, and didnt know who to trust, fearing that they would get killed. But Singaporeans didnt have to die during the propaganda, even though they had to follow the Japaneses ways and suffer. Therefore, I think back that the worst problem that t he Singaporeans faced during the Japanese occupation was living in the fear of the Japanese.
