During the Japanese Occupation, people had to eat substitutes that we would normally throw away, for food like the skin and the boiled seeds of a Cempedak or the shells of groundnuts, food rationing was inconvienent for people as people had to queue hours ahead and it was up to the seller to decide the type and amount of rations, and because of the decreasing value of the Japanese currency otherwise know as "banana notes" had caused the prices of goods on the black market to drastically increase over the years of the Japanese Occupation. In 1942, the price of rice per kati (0.6 kg) cost $0.05 but during 1945, 1 kati of rice cost $75. This shows how much these problems caused by the Japanese Occupation can change one's life.]]> 2016-06-29 01:15:11 UTC https://padlet.com/SJPCK19/8yl1t4tfwt8s/wish/116108392 SJPCK19 https://padlet.com/SJPCK19/8yl1t4tfwt8s/wish/116108393 POINT : Many parents decided to keep their children at home than allowing them to go to school, because they did not liked the Japanese language and customs.
