Opium in Singapore - the history and background

 Video: Hikelopedia's [Singapore and the "Scourge of the Chinese"]

The Tiger of Malaya - Tomoyuki Yamashita

 

The man who defeated the British in Malaya and Singapore. The general with 70,000 men, who defeated 138,000 and took Malaya and Singapore in weeks with a smaller force than the defenders.

This is his story.

Chinese in Singapore: How they got here

 This video "How Colonial Singapore got to be so Chinese" narrates the arrival of the Chinese in Colonial Singapore.

The Fall of Singapore (in video) - Feb 1942.

 When others have done better research and work than me, I put their works here for those interested.

Here are two videos, on the Fall of Singapore, and the Surrender of Singapore

The Fall of Singapore:

Churchill wanted "no thought of surrender until protracted fighting among the ruins of Singapore City" (at 2:18 of the video), which is kinda callous. And would have taken a horrendous toll on Singapore and the residents.

Singapore - The accidental country

 I found this video covering the events of Singapore's independence, from a foreign history (or geography) "student".

He speaks a little fast, but he gets his points across. And not being Singaporean, his understanding (or interest) in the specifics was not too "cheem". And he was more concerned with borders, than with history.
