Retaliate against Singapore, I wonder if Singapore still has the face to do so now! On November 25, our embassy in Japan published an article stating that in March 1942, the Japanese military decided to establish a sister unit of the Japanese Imperial Army's Unit 731 in Singapore, internally known as the Koga No. 9420 Unit, with its headquarters in Singapore and branches throughout Southeast Asia. Officially, it was responsible for pest control and water supply, but in reality, it bred experimental mice and cultivated plague-infected fleas.
After Singapore's Prime Minister Heng Swee Kiat stated, "ASEAN countries chose to reconcile with Japan on historical issues, China also put aside its grievances and chose to forgive Japan, and claimed that the most trusted major power in Southeast Asia is Japan," our embassy published this historical fact, which in a way is a retaliation against Singapore. Heng Swee Kiat claimed that ASEAN countries chose to reconcile with Japan on historical issues, right? By presenting these historical facts, we clearly want to tell Singapore that they should not forget too quickly the history and cruelty of Japan's aggression.
Singapore can say it has reconciled, but can Japan's evil deeds be completely forgotten? Does Singapore's statement deserve those victims? Is it appropriate for Singapore to treat Japan's militarist invasion history so lightly and lecture us? Singapore claims to represent Southeast Asian countries, supports Japan, but don't forget that the country that hurt Southeast Asian countries the most was Japan. China has never done things as despicable as the Japanese militarists.
Singapore is a small country, and Singapore has its own interests. However, today, when Japanese militarism is rising again, it adopts a posture of standing by and not caring, turning a blind eye to Japan's actions, and instead says cold words about us. We certainly cannot accept this. Singapore can be indifferent, take a neutral stance, or keep aloof, but we will not forget history. We are not as forgetful and lack of vigilance as Singapore!
