He was placed at the Jalan Besar Concentration Camp. On the fifth day of the Japanese invasion , government servants and clerks in European firms were told to step out. Our hands were tied and we were told to board the trucks. I thought we were being taken away for work. Our trucks stopped at the beach. I saw one or more machine -guns. About 400 of us were on the beach. The machine-gunning started. As my companions were hit, they fell down and pulled down the rest of us. As I fell, I was hit on the face. A soldier stepped on me to bayonet my neighbour. I shut my eyes and kept them shut. Source C: An oral account by Yeo Hong Eng who survived the Japanese Occupation. Chinese aged from 18 to 50 years who lived in the Changi area had to assemble at the Telok Kurau School. The Japanese informers and kempe itai officers would examine each one and determine their fates. Civil servants, anti -Japanese leaders, teachers and people with tattoos were identified by a nod from the Japanese informers and were taken to lorries to be tied up with steel wire. The Japanese took no chances. They dunk the heads of the victim into water until there was a confession. If a confession was not forthcoming, he would be pushed on to the floor and a soldier would step on his bloated stomach.
