Propaganda handbill

British oppression is caricatured in this anti-British propaganda handbill printed by the Indian Independence League in East Asia. The Japanese worked hard at cultivating the nationalistic sentiments of the Indians in Singapore to assist them in their planned conquest of Singapore.

Propaganda leaflet

This pamphlet illustrates how an allied solider would receive food, cigarettes and medical aid if he would simply raise his hands in surrender. Ironically, allied propagandists made identical promises to Japanese soldiers.

Propaganda leaflet

Time and again, illustrations of food were used on propaganda leaflets to tempt allied soldiers. Here, a tempting plate of salad is illustrated and the word “surrender” has been tactfully substituted with the euphanism, “a change of heart”.

Japanese solider on a boat

A Japanese soldier is shown all alone on a boat. Futilely awaiting reinforcements that will never arrive.

Today, is Nigel’s group turn to present. Their topic was about war experience. I think that Kim had tried his best to project his voice and explained the topic to us. However, he could not answer some question like ”what does the light of the south means? and what the past Japanese flag represent?” ask by Ms Lee and us, the students in 2E. Furthermore, he did not explain clearly about some points like why did ‘kempetai military police station’ is a military police station and not an ordinary police station. Thus, i think that we need to project our voice as loud as possible and explain clearly the points we had during our presentation.

Today Ken’s group made a speech.

Actually, it was not successfull. Why?

What can we learn form his group?

What can we improve our speech later?

Please post your comments under comment, if you have any other questions, please post that too.

What should we do for next weak’s trip to Fore Siloso?

What can we prepare for that? Such as what should we bring?

How will we separate our job?

Please answer these questions under comment. If you have any questions, please post it too. 

After we discuss in the PW period, we came out a new conclusion that we need to redo the story board. In this new story board, we are going to add British propaganda in to the story board. We will delete the part that shows a person got killed by the Japanese soldier as he/she is unwilling to study/learn propaganda because we thought that was useless for the “use of the propaganda”.

The source from the mind map shows that the propaganda used by the Japanese were all written in their language and were published in daily newspaper. To add on, children in school were forced to learn Japanese language by books of propaganda although they were unwilling to. As a result, most of the Singaporeans will know their way of life and their language.
Furthermore, the propaganda was also used to point about the pre-eminence of the Japanese spirited values and the ills of western materialism. Thus, the main purpose of propaganda is to helps them to conquer much more of Singapore by winning the respect and support of Singapore citizen who have read the propaganda.

Bruce (ZiLu): Japanese wanted to educate Singapore children and teached the japanese. The purposee is to point out about the
pre-eminence of the japanese way of life , their spiritual values and the ills western materialism. Actually the fact is,
japanese did not bring happiness to Singapore, they killed people and rob properties.

Wendy: Japanese use propaganda by media communication(eg;radio,newspaper,money) to tell Singaporean their way of life. NOt
only, they also use propaganda to teach children their languages in school. As a result, this help them to conquer much
more of Singapore by winning the support of Singapore citizen. Thus, many people were killed by them during the attack
of Singapore as they were unwilling to follow the japanese values.

JiaHuan: Japanese use their language to write propaganda as the method of teaching their spiritual values and the ills of western
materialism.

PhanChong: I think propaganda are images that are use during the occupation of Singapore at the time. The japanese uses the
wrong information to teach the people that at that time japanese did not do cruel thing to singaporeans but it is not
true in the fact.

Bala: Japanese use propaganda to make singapore respect them. I think that they are books that tells “Japanese is the greatest
people in the World”. It is to make Singapore their Slaves.
