The Unknown Truth of Singapore Sook Ching Massacre

On 18th February, 1942, the Japanese army issued a notice asking all Chinese men aged between 18 and 50 in Singapore to go to ‘screening centers’ to collect the ‘Good Citizen Certificate’, yet this was just the beginning of a nightmare. 76-year-old Loh Weng Kee recalled emotionally that his father was ‘missing’ in this ‘screening’ massacre, known as the Sook Ching Massacre.
According to the National Library of Singapore, at least 50,000 Chinese were killed by the Japanese forces during the massacre.

Thank you for making this known. I am surprised so few people outside of Singapore and Malaysia know about the Sook Ching massacre.

War has no winners, only losers. May you forgive them for taking away your dad. They know not what they do,

[@bluechicken2301]

You make lots of sense

[@Jijo2003]

The winners are the weapon industries

[@vonhipperwild2009]

the japs new what they were doing and it was deliberate. why do you think the japanese wont aplogies for the nanking massacre, they claim it never happened! let that sink in.

[@patrickco2398]

forgiveness only happens when the japanese govt apologizes sincerely.

[@SamSam-pf2hl]

May we remember in our heart how our forefathers were treated by them during their occupation here.

Even after decades the man cries for his father it must have been challenge just to survive

Chinese people tend to be against allowing people to have guns.
But the Nanjing massacre and Sook Ching are prime examples of why it is important for men and women to have military weapons.

[@lee-lv8zo]

as a Singaporean who's grandfather had close calls with sook ching I politely disagree because that was when massacres and genocides that were common, especially during wars. now, in an era where wars are looked down upon and massacres are done something about, I think the guns aren't necessary. but I get why you feel that way

[@sabby123456789]

​@lee-lv8zo I respect your opinion as well.
My grandparents also grew up in Singapore.
However, I do not think that lack of war and genocide means that you should put down your weapons.
The Swiss have not been at war since 1815 but they still maintain a military and even their men can keep their service weapons after completing their national service.
Despite the high rate of gun ownership, the Swiss have one of the lowest rates of violent crime in the world.

[@lee-lv8zo]

@@sabby123456789 that's a good point, I guess that means it entirely depends on how well a country governs gun ownership then

[@pseudotatsuya]

Nanjin masscre didn't exist.
