Almost every aspect of life, such as food, education and labour was heavily controlled by the Japanese. The people in Singapore lived in constant fear and lacked even basic necessities. javier_ho_jia_jin https://padlet.com/javier_ho_jia_jin/f1agk38ejm6k35wz/wish/2497175029 2023-02-28 00:05:39 UTC https://padlet.com/javier_ho_jia_jin/f1agk38ejm6k35wz/wish/2497175029 javier_ho_jia_jin https://padlet.com/javier_ho_jia_jin/f1agk38ejm6k35wz/wish/2497177920
During the occupation, the Japanese imposed a strict regime of military rule and forced the local population to adapt to their way of life. They immediately imposed a curfew and restricted the movement of people, while also seizing food and other essential supplies for their own use.


The Japanese also conducted mass arrests and executions of suspected anti-Japanese activists, leading to a period of intense fear and suspicion among the local population.


The people of Singapore were subjected to forced labor, and many were conscripted to work on various projects for the Japanese military. The conditions were often harsh and many workers were subjected to physical and mental abuse.


Food was scarce and rationed, and the Japanese government imposed strict controls on food production and distribution. The local population was forced to rely on rationing and black markets for their basic needs.


During this time, diseases such as cholera and dysentery were rampant due to poor living conditions, and many people died due to the lack of medical care.


The end of the Japanese Occupation in September 1945 was greeted with a sense of relief and joy by the people of Singapore.
