This link contains two short video featuring a foreign person that experience the war and tell us how he felt about the war of bukit chandu and how brave the malay regiment are.Please view the website so we can discuss whether we should use the link.
The video above is taken from :http://youtube.com/watch?v=JfpjjopDC3M
From the video,we know that Elizabeth choy played a great part in helping the British.
Although she is female,she carry out actions like passing supplies such as water to
the British internees and refusing to admit to the Japanese
soldiers that she helped the British. I know this as the video shows a
short part of her been tortured by Japanese soldiers using electric shock.
She had passed away in her late 90s.It is a great loss
of heroines in Singapore.From the video,we know that
Elizabeth Choy is a woman that care and think about others.
I had quoted a short sentance from her speech in the video.
The sentence is useful and meaningful.Elizabeth Choy said that ”
If there is no war,the Japanese will be just like me.
They will be at home with their family members,doing their
own peaceful jobs.Let us pray that they would not be any war
again.” We can see that she care for
even the Japanese.A mind-set like her should
be pass down to other such as youngster.
Also,the video show us that a war can reveal many
hidden talents in people.

From the information given in the source above,we know that other than soldiers,another woman of that time contributed a lot to the needy people during the Japanese Occupation. I know this as the information said that “Elizabeth Choy and her husband secretly brought food, medicine, money, messages and even radios to British internees.” This tells us that she risk herself in order to give supplies to Britsh internees despite getting caught.Thus,this tells us that Elizabeth Choy is the first woman in Singapore to become a heroine.We should all respect her as her bravery could not be found nowadays.
On monday 10 of march,we had a Photography and Videography workshop/lesson at the IT resource room.
