Before the Japanese Occupation,the British government gave them enough food. During the Japanese Occupation,there was food shortage.During the Japanese Occupation,the Japanese government took most of the food for themselves leaving little for the people.As a result,Food rationing got started by the Japanese government.

Source 2 tells me that there is limited supply of food.it shows that the Japanese were giving people limited supply of food and that small container that the Japanese use to give food to people,would not be enough to feed the whole family.

Source 3 tells me that,the japanese won over the british army.after the japanese won,they took all the food and people were encouraged to grow their own food .

Thus,it shows that people suffered as they were not able to attain proper food.

Before the japanese occupation,there was no ill treatment. during the japanese occupation,there was ill treatment.As a result,the teenagers lived in fear.

source 5 tells me that the chinese suffered during sook ching.The chinese had to went for checkup to see their hands.if they were suspected,they would be tortured.When they got stamped at their arm,they had to protect it or not they will get tortured,With that,people live with fear.

Thus it shows that the people had to live fearfully as they would die if not careful.

Inference:Following the events that swept Singapore into World War Two, the British surrender of Singapore to the invading Japanese forces marked the beginning of a dark chapter in Singapore’s history.

Evidence:An uneasy peace had descended on the streets of Singapore. After one week of shelling and air raids by the Japanese, the silence was part relief and part uncertainty.A charred body stirred on the street, dragging its legless form towards the boarded up shophouses. In its grip, was the day’s edition of The Sunday Times – a bleak one-page document singed at the edges

Inference:Singapore, the impregnable “Gibraltar of the East” had fallen to Japan

Evidence:
18 year-old Chen Guang stood shaking uncontrollably. Behind him, the waves crashed against Changi Beach. In front of him, a line of Japanese soldiers cocked their rifles and took aim in his direction, along with the other Chinese men who were bound together alongside him.Earlier that day, General Yamashita had ordered the elimination of all anti-Japanese elements from the population.

Change/Continuity(Explain):Before the war people did not suffer much.During the war,killing and a lot of suffering and pain.

Not long after the British Surrender on 15 Feb 1942, the Japanese moved quickly to consolidate their control of Singapore.

One of the first things they did was to re-name Singapore as 'Syonan-to' ( 昭南島 Shōnan-tō), which means "Light of the South".

But they didn't just stop there.

The Tanjong Pagar Railway station was renamed as " Syonan Station".

The Japanese took over 'The Straits Times' offices and the paper was renamed as " The Shonan Times". The paper would see two more name changes - " The Syonan Times" and then later as " Syonan Sinbun".

The local time in Singapore was moved forward by 1½ hours so as to be in sync with Tokyo time.

Schools were made to teach the Japanese language and textbooks were printed in Japanese. School children had to stand facing the direction of Japan and to sing the national Japanese anthem.

This was the wartime currency that was issued by the Japanese Government for the occupied territories of Malaya and Singapore during the Japanese Occupation.

The British currency was replaced with Japanese currency which was known as "Banana money" due to the picture of a Banana tree on the note. The currency would ultimately became worthless due massive amounts printed.

These changes would be the least of the problems that Singapore would face during the Japanese Occupation

The next three and a half years under the brutal Japanese rule would prove to be the darkest period in Singapore's history.
