One of the most serious problems during the Occupation was food shortage.
The people of Singapore were encouraged to grow their own vegetables.
In addition, the Japanese also issued ration cards to control supplies of rice and other essential items.

You could not get any provisions from shops if you did not have this ration card
Each adult was given a ration of 4.8kg of rice per month and each child 2.4kg. This amount was subsequently reduced to 3.6kg per month for adults.

Even then, these ran out before long.

The Japanese issued banana money as their main currency since Straits currency became rare. They instituted elements of a command economy in which there were restrictions on the demand and supply of resources, thus creating a popular black market. The "banana currency" started to suffer from high inflation and dropped drastically in value because the authorities would simply print more whenever they needed it; consequently the black market often used Straits currency.]]> 2016-04-21 13:53:37 UTC https://padlet.com/ahmadkhalis53/jy2mfcc8e79h/wish/107003962 Source B Khalis (18) (Job/Work) muhdsuffian17 https://padlet.com/ahmadkhalis53/jy2mfcc8e79h/wish/107224412 Source Type: Written
In the 1930s, rising anti-Japanese sentiments in the Far East dealt a huge blow to the livelihood of Japanese fishermen in Singapore. Japan was already keen to expand its fishing industry southwards into Southeast Asia in an effort to relieve overpopulation in Japan's fishing villages, as well as tap the Southeast Asian market for marine products in colonial metropolises such as Singapore. Since 1921, Okinawan fishermen, which made up the large majority of Japanese fishermen based in Singapore at the time, had been immigrating to Singapore to work the island’s fisheries. There were about 1,500 Japanese fishermen, which formed nearly half of the total Japanese population in Singapore.
