Scene 13: video taken at fort siloso

While we are showing the Japanese propaganda on the video, the speaker is reading the purpose of the Japanese propaganda.

Speaker:The purpose of the Japanese propaganda is to make people believe that the Japanese are the saviors of Singaporeans and that they are here to liberate us from the real enemies, the British.This was called “Asian to Asian” at that period. It also make people feel that the Japanese are very kind to them and believe that they live very happy under Japanese control, only Japanese are friends people will support the Japanese in the war .furthermore Japanese wanted people in Singapore  follow the instructions that Japanese gave them. Scene 14: type out the conclusion.

The use of propaganda by the Japanese were to influence the minds of the people in Singapore, to remove Western influence and to promoted the Japanese spirit (Nippon Seishin) so that the people would be loyal to Japan.
