P: They no longer view the british as 'superior' as the Japanese had dispelled the myth of white supremacy.
E: They demand for better treatment and more from the British.
E: While a lot of people think that force 136 is the strongest japanese resistance in Singapore, Lim Bo Seng, one of the leaders of Force 136 was still caught by the Japanese proving that it is not as impregnable as what it claims to be
CK: Based on my contextual knowledge, people were cheering at the return of the British troops at first, however, they grew discontent with the British. there were protests involving the chinese middle school students that took place in Singapore. the students felt that they were unfairly treated by the British colonial government and wanted to change to their conditions.

point : the locals no longer view the british as "superior" but as commoners as themselves
evidence: the British was not successful in defending Singapore after JO they questioned their authority and demanded more rights and better treatment
Elab : The british did not protect and thus resulted in huge amount of loss this also made locals furious
CK: The japanese dispelled the WHite supremacy and then made locals feel that they should not be overpowered by the british or whites thus they felt that british are not superior but the same as them .

The locals were adamant of the British and no longer respected them like before.

They demanded more rights; a say in their future, better treatment of civil workers

They were upset about the British' decisions and wanted change for themselves. They did not place their trust in the British blindly and wanted to take greater ownership of their home.

Based on our contextual knowledge, we know that they fought hard to ensure that they got their independence.

P: The locals viewed the British as equal and no longer of a higher status.
E: White supremacy was dispelled by the Japanese in addition to the fact that the British had forsaken Singapore in times of crisis, leaving them to fend for themselves.
E: The locals thought that the Japanese "had a point" and agreed with them, dispelling white supremacy.
CK: Based on our contextual knowledge, the British were overconfident about their ability to protect Singapore and thus lost to the Japanese.

Point: The locals did not trust the British as much;unreliable
Evidence: They wanted to be free from the British's rule and make Singapore be independent as the locals did not trust the British as much as before. This is as the British forsook Singapore during the Japanese Occupation.
Elaboration: The locals didn't think the British were as trust-worthy as before and wanted to be free from their rule. They also realised that the British were not as superior as they were portrayed to be.
Contextual Knowledge: The locals demanded to be free, have a citizenship, better treatment from the British and also demanded for Local Political Involvement. This emphasised that the locals wanted to be free from the Japanese and be responsible for their own country.

Point: They are unhappy with the British.
Evidence: The British left Singapore alone and came back after the Japanese left.
Explanation: The British left at a time of war and needs and came back only when the war was over. People thought that the British were superior yet they were not able to defend Singapore.
Contextual Knowledge: Contextually, many workers joined trade unions in the hope of securing better wages and working conditions. These unions organised strikes to push employers to agree to their demands.

Point: The locals thought of the British as unreliable after the JO.
Evidence: The locals wanted better treatment and better rights.
Elaborate: The locals did not admire the British in the first place as locals were treated. The British left Singapore because of war and came back after the war. The locals thought British were able to defend Singapore thus they obeyed everything the British demanded.

Point: The locals view of the British changed from one of admiration to disrespect.

Evidence: After the British returned after the Japanese Occupation, locals demanded for equal treatment of civil servants, political involvement and demand for citizenship.

Elaboration: This shows the rejection of British by the locals as deserving rulers.

CK: During this time, many local political parties popped up, such as malayan democratic union(MDU). This shows that locals desired to take more charge of their country.
