One of our June Holiday Homework for IH Integrated Humanities was to read up a set of handouts regarding the Japanese Occupation and come up with a set of our own notes. As I was reading the handouts, I found out a segment of the information that is related to the novel that we recently studied in Language Arts Class: Animal Farm.
Here is the extract from the handouts:
"They were promised their pre-war allowances, though payment was not always made in full. An Advisory Council of State was established with representatives from all the communal groups. Here the Sultan was only the Vice-Chairman or Adviser to the Japanese Resident who was Chairman. This was worse that the State of Council of British days, and since nobody dared to speak up or oppose the Japanese, the meetings were always a one-sided affair."
See how related it is to the text, with Napoleon practising autocracy on the animals - in this case, the people of Malaya and Singapore. In today's world, it's North Korea against the World.
If you have any comments or anything to share, do drop a comment if you have an account, or the tagboard if you don't. Glad to have shared so far.
