Facts about Singapore war hero Tan Chong Tee?

Tan Chong Tee (born 1918) is a World War 2 veteran. Born in Shrewsbury Road, Singapore, Tan took part in many anti-Japanese activities like boycotting Japanese goods and fund raising since the Second Sino-Japanese war broke out in 1937. Tan lost touch with his family in 1942 and joined the Force 136, befriending Lim Bo Seng. He took part in Operation Gustavus to resist the Japanese occupation. However, he was later captured in 1944 and spent the next 18 months in jail under the torture of the Japanese troops. When Tan was finally released from jail, he found out that his older brother Tan Chong Mao was executed by the Japanese and his mother was beaten to death by the Japanese HE was slapped, whipped, punched, kicked and clubbed for two hours by two stick-wielding Japanese soldiers. But Mr Tan Chong Tee, then 27, refused to answer the soldiers' questions on the whereabouts of some comrades that they were trying to capture. "I know nothing," he kept saying stubbornly. That was March 26, 1944, when Mr Tan was captured by the Japanese during a crackdown of underground espionage organisations in Ipoh. "The Japanese hit me with their hands, their legs and wooden sticks," he recalled, speaking in Mandarin. "They wanted to beat me up until I could no longer withstand the pain. But I was determined not to say anything. I knew that being captured by Japanese meant only death. "It didn't matter whether I told them anything or not." And he would be tortured again...and again, during the 18 months that he was imprisoned. "My back and chest were badly injured and I soon passed out," he said of the first time he was beaten. "When I came to later, I found myself drenched in water. The soldiers went on torturing me and I fainted several times. "But there was no way they could get me to talk. I was prepared to lay down my life for my comrades." For food, he was given only three or four pieces of rotten sweet potato daily. Sometimes, he had to go hungry for days. He and his comrades were locked up in separate cells which measured less than 0.37 square metres each. There was only one barred window in his cell. The walls were stained with blood and filth. The bed was made up of four pieces of plank nailed together, while the toilet was nothing more than a broken bucket. He often heard screams coming from the torture chambers. "Many a time, I saw young men and women being taken inside and the Japanese would torture them in every imaginable way. The prisoners were subjected to brutal acts like burning, electrocution and whipping. "By the time the torture sessions had ended, they had to be carried or dragged out." Mr Tan was not fearful of losing his own life. But after his leader, Mr Lim Bo Seng, was tortured to death, he vowed to stay alive so that he could tell others about Mr Lim's heroism and seek justice for those comrades who had perished. "It was this thought that kept me going…we lived in the hope that we would one day escape from this hellish place." As Mr Tan was an important prisoner, the Japanese did not kill him. After the Japanese surrendered, he was released on the condition that he changed his name and severed all ties with his past.

What do other countries dislike about Singapore's behavior?

It would be almost impossible to find a country that is totally against Singapore as Singapore is in the United Nations. When countries have disaster (e.g. the Sichuan Earthquake and the 2003 or 2004 tsunami), Singapore would be one of the first to help the affected countries. I even heard that there was a country that was hit by a disaster and they rejected help from all countries like United States but allowed only Singapore team in. Singapore also does not afford to be disliked by other countries as Singapore has to depend on them for imports which include food.
