They were only able to spare a few as there was a war raging in Europe against Germany as well and they needed their army to protect their interest and country which is their first priority. Due to this, the soldiers were inexperience and they were from different regions such as Malaysia or India hence there was a lot of miscommunication since they did not speak the same tongue. They did not have suitable weapons to defend themselves as well and thus, the Japanese were able to conquer and gain Singapore, considered as one of the greatest failures in the British military history.]]> 2022-01-19 23:59:14 UTC https://padlet.com/humanitiesrock/o8y756lq70j2dkg5/wish/2001666792 https://padlet.com/humanitiesrock/o8y756lq70j2dkg5/wish/2001666948 i want to know what the japanese did to singapore]]> 2022-01-19 23:59:25 UTC https://padlet.com/humanitiesrock/o8y756lq70j2dkg5/wish/2001666948 https://padlet.com/humanitiesrock/o8y756lq70j2dkg5/wish/2001667004 I learnt that the Gardens’ staff and their captors’ made effort  during the Japanese Occupation to preserve the Gardens and its invaluable research properties despite the war.]]> 2022-01-19 23:59:29 UTC https://padlet.com/humanitiesrock/o8y756lq70j2dkg5/wish/2001667004 https://padlet.com/humanitiesrock/o8y756lq70j2dkg5/wish/2001667068 the Japanese occupation begin after the British surrendered to the Japanese.
