During the Japanese occupation of Singapore from 1942 to 1945, Lee Kuan Yew, then a young lawyer, initially faced significant challenges. He and his family managed to survive by going into hiding and adapting to the harsh conditions of the occupation. Lee engaged in activities that helped him build connections and understand the political landscape, which would later aid his leadership in post-war Singapore. Ultimately, he emerged from the occupation with a strengthened resolve to contribute to Singapore's future.
