how did the british react when Japanese invaded and how did the british feel and what events took place which effected the british greatly.
Answer
Singapore was full of expatriates who did not believe that Singapore would fall when the Japanese invaded Malaysia. They thought the jungle was impenetrable when actually it consisted of well laid out rubber planatiations that the Japanese could cross quite easily. The behaviour of the British civilians was quite incredible - they went on as though there was no war drinking in their clubs etc.
When it became apparent that the Japanese would occupy the City - the defence was incompetently conducted (the British had more troops, including Australians etc., than the invading Japanese) the British, both civilians and military, panicked and tried to get away in any boat, of whatever size, they could.
General Perceval, the British commander, thought surrendering would be civilised as in Western Europe and gave up when it became apparent the city could not be held, instead of fighting to the last man (which would have been much more sensible given the number of troops who died in captivity). He headed a parade of defeated British troops through the city, which was good propaganda for the Japanese.
The reality of course was quite different. The Japanese had nothing but contempt for the British who need not reach their standards of military chivalry. All the British, military and civilians of both sexes and whatever age, were taken into captivity and transported or marched, in bad conditions, to appalling camps. From that point the British had to use all their resources simply to stay alive - they had no choice as to how to react.
The fall of Singapore was felt as a humiliation in the United Kingdom. In many ways it was the beginning of the end of the British Empire.

Now there are 2 ppl die of H1N1 and more campus and camps close it become more widespread what can i do to?
Datuk Seri
i scare i will kena what can i do to prevent this H1N1 should i go for vaccine?
Answer
There is no vaccine for this flu. Infact even for those who were admitted to hospital they were just given ordinary anti-biotic.
Don't have to worry , just take precautions. Avoid going to crowded places and hospitals whenever not necessary, avoid having bodily contact with people or public things, wash your hands regularly and basically take good care of your personal hygiene. If you feel comfortable to wear a mask then by all means, wear it. However i think the situation in Malaysia is that acute to warrant a full scale mask wearing.
