My life during World War 2 in Singapore

9 February 1942, Large amount of Japanese troops began to cross the Strait of Johor using motorboats and rubber boats after midnight as the Causeway link to Singapore has been bombed by the British after they retreated to Singapore after the defeat of Malaya. They landed in the northwest coast of Singapore. The Japanese met fierce opposition upon landing but they managed to push back the defenders.

11 February 1942, The Japanese reached Bukit Timah. The fiercest fighting took place here. The Chinese volunteers, together with the Allied soldiers, fought bravely. Many on both sides were killed.
