End of the Japanese Occupation of Singapore (15 Aug 1945)

15 Aug 1945 was the day of rejoice and celebration with the Japanese defeat after allied forces dropped 2 devastating nuclear bombs code named  Little Boy and Fat Boy on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
When the news was spread about the surrender of Japan to Singapore, people under the occupation rejoiced and celebrated the whole day when the Japanese were leaving Singapore.

The allies sent forces to check on the P.O.W in terms of health and made arrangements to send them home.
The Japanese surrendered on 15 Aug 1943 at City Hall followed by a celebration at Padang.
The citizens of Singapore under the occupation were especially the ones who rejoiced the most because they were under the suffering of the Japanese for more then 3 years and they took this opportunity to loot the Japanese and revenge kill them for doing what they done to them.

After 10 posts about my life under the Japanese, I was fortunate that today I am living a happy life in Singapore.
