Philippines, Singapore, and Dutch East Indies
Singapore was under British rule from 1819 till 1963. (It was taken by the Japanese early in 1942 but reverted to British rule in 1945).Singapore only officially became a British colony in August 1824. Before that, the British only had the rights to start a trading settlement.

After the fall of Singapore to Japanese forces during World War II in February 1942, the building was repurposed for various uses, including as a military headquarters. The British colonial administration was significantly disrupted, leading to the establishment of Japanese military rule in the region.
