Kempeitai

The Kempeitai (憲兵隊) was the secret military police arm of the Imperial Japanese Army from 1881 to 1945.

The Japanese Gestapo - or Kempeitai - were very similar to the Gestapo in the way they operated, but had been around for much longer than the Gestapo (1881-1945).

Their numbers were considerably larger than that of the Gestapo, however - about 70,000, compared to the Gestapo's 32,000.

life was tough, like a nightmare. Singaporeans had to sing and bow towards japan.

There was a shortage of food in Singapore, many experiencing hunger and as a result, falling terribly ill and sick. Essential foodstuffs like rice, sugar and salt were under control. The blackmarket is a place where other food was found.
