See/observe: little children waving hands

Think: children are protesting for something (maybe something related to malaya because they holding malaya flag)

Wonder: Why are the children protesting and not the adults?
Why are they holding a flag?

Why we wonder: usually we see adults protesting but this is all children

See: We see many smiling children waving and pointing, some are waving flags.

Think: We think they are happy and welcome the British return.

Wonder: Why is it only children depicted?

Why: The children appear to be quite young, and as such may not understand the value of the British returning. Additionally, there would be other people also cheering for the British, not just children.

SEE: They were determined that the people could run the country after ww2.
THINK: I think that they were determined after ww2 as they didn’t like to be controlled and pushed around by other countries.
WONDER: Why does he want to tell Singaporean’s about this?
WHY: I want to know why he said these information on National Radio instead of other information.

Wonder: Where are the adults? Why are they happy when the British return?
Why: It can’t be only kids living here. We do not know why they are happy.

See: we can observe that the economy was bad, that there were people in uniform, people could not go to work as usual, the trolley busses were run down and people were recuperating.
Think: we think that Singapore has a lot of work to do to go back to its ‘normal’ days
Wonder: What did the people think about the British returning
Why: I want to know what the people in Singapore feel about someone who surrender them to the Japanese then coming back to take them back

# data[].attributes.body

See: Then prime minister Lee Kuan Yew addressing the nation, stating that he did not want the British and the Japanese “kicking them around”

Think: They were tired of being under the rule of the British or Japanese and wanted to be independent

Wonder: Why didn’t the prime minister want the british to stay in control

Why did you wonder: It would be easier to let others govern Singapore

# data[].attributes.body
See: The Japanese Occupation has given Lee Kuan Yew the motivation to fight for self governance in Singapore.
Think: He is addressing people that they should be independent and not rely on the British
Wonder: Why did they not think of governing themselves when the British first came? How did the British react to this statement?
Why: The source was trying to convince the Singaporean population to push for self governance. This leads me to wonder what the British thought when they heard Lee Kuan Yews interview.
If they are encouraging self- governance then, they should have done it before.

See/observe: Lee Kuan Yew’s thoughts on British and Japanese ruling Singapore
Think: The Japanese Occupation has ended and the British have left. Lee Kuan Yew is trying to persuade citizens to be independent and united.
Wonder: I wonder if his speech is just to introduce himself and what makes him so sure that people can run the country
Why did you wonder about this question: His tome sounds like he’s introducing himself but the words he uses also suggest that he wants them to accept them as their leader.
For the second point, it is because where did he get the confidence that local people can run the country from

See : People expected things to return to the way before, but people were disappointed because things weren’t as they desired
Think : Life was hard and they were bound to be let down  because of their anticipation
Wonder : Why did Japan just leave Singapore in such a state?
What is so hard even after Japan surrendered ? What did the British do after they returned ?
Reason : Japan was trying to say they were helping Singapore and yet they left it in such a bad state, The source describes it like everyone is suffering from war, but there should be peace and prosperity when the Japanese leave ,Japan surrendered due to the British and they returned  after the war so it’s their responsibility

# data[].attributes.body
See: they didn’t live a good life after the war
Think: people suffered(ie Shortage of basic necessities)even though the war was over
Wonder: I wonder what the government would do to improve the conditions
Why: resources are low but these are necessary issues to be fixed so the government can’t ignore it. If nothing is done their lives will be terrible.

Think: the children are happy because the British are back and they are finally free from the Japanese
