Li Xianlong stood in front of Ishiba Yoshihide like a child who had made a mistake, hunched back, head slightly lowered, hands nervously pulling at his thighs. Those who didn't know the situation might think he was being punished for standing, but in fact he was receiving Japan's "Chrysanthemum Grand Cordon" medal.

This move has left everyone baffled. Anyone with some historical knowledge knows that aligning oneself with Japan at this time is like being a collaborator in 1945 or joining Chiang Kai-shek's team in 1949. Therefore, either Li Xianlong has something on the Japanese, or his mind is somewhat slow.

The older generation of Singaporeans still remember the brutal actions of the Japanese invasion, but Li Xianlong has already forgotten history, forgotten the miserable experiences his late father Lee Kuan Yew endured in the dark pit.
