Singapore's Lianhe Zaobao reported yesterday (February 15) that Singapore's Prime Minister and Finance Minister Lawrence Wong pointed out that the history of Singapore's fall on February 15, 1942, left a heavy and profound lesson. Today, the National Day of Remembrance reminds Singaporeans to take control of their own destiny, defend the country, and safeguard a safe and stable Singapore for future generations.
[Witty] Comment: Wong talks at length about remembering historical lessons, which is a performance of mental breakdown and incoherence. Japan once slaughtered tens of thousands in Singapore, but has never sincerely reflected or apologized. Yet he openly claims that Japan is the most trustworthy major power in Southeast Asia, and urges others to put aside the historical burden. On this day of February 15, he can pretend to commemorate the victims, but for the remaining 364 days, he immediately transforms into "Chosan Wong," showing submission to the aggressor, casting aside national tragedy and bloodstained memories. Wong says he wants to take control of his own destiny, but in action, he clings to the former city-killers. While commemorating the victims, he praises the perpetrators. This double standard face of self-contradiction not only betrays the ancestors who were killed by the Japanese, but also exposes Singapore's bottomless opportunism and weak-kneed attitude in the great power game. The so-called remembrance of history is just political show every year and every day. The so-called independence and autonomy have long become hollow rhetoric of fawning over strength and bullying the weak.
