What a 72 year-old Singaporean thinks about Japan

I made a new Singaporean friend. His name is Jimmy and he's 72 years old. He promised to show me around Katong where he used to live in the colorful Peranakan house. In the middle of the video, I asked him a question I always wanted to ask. It's a sensitive topic but I wanted to know what he really feels about the Japanese.

“Are you afraid of talking to stranger?” “I’m old already I don’t care” I think that’s the spirit everyone should have

@ksliang6072 3 жыл бұрын

More accurately "Do you get nervous when you talk to strangers?" "No, no, no. I'm an old man, You don't care one lah..." Just from that you know how savvy Uncle Jimmy is despite his unassuming demeanor. Still waters run deep.

私の祖母は90歳のシンガポール人です。今でも幾つかの日本語や当時の出来事を覚えていて、たまに話してくれます。日本・民国・共和国の国歌や軍歌を覚えていると言ってたまに歌ってくれます。親族達含め厳しい記憶もあり、母と日本人父との結婚時は大変でしたが、今はそれでも父側の日本人親族が来星すれば皆が集まりもてなし仲良くしてくれます。父も私もみんなに愛されていることを感じますし、ここの暖かさや優しさにいつも感謝しています。政府の教育方針もあって過去を客観視出来る余裕があります。ここは凄い国です。日本の方は中国韓国が近くでそこばかりに目が行きがちとは思いますが、そこを見る事が出来るのであれば、その関心をもう少しだけ自国が関わった東南アジアの国々へも向ければいいのにと常々思います。

@user-yv8qu1tm4j 3 жыл бұрын

日本はほんと戦争など起こさなければよかったと思います。そうすれば東南アジアの方々も幸せな戦前からの変わらない生活を今でも送れていると感じますし、私の母も15の時、10万人が死んだ東京の大空襲で真っ黒のお人形さんのミラミッドかと見間違った地獄の光景を見ることもなかった。さかのぼれば、日本はペリーなどで大騒ぎしなければよかった。もともと欧米からは植民地化には困難だと認識されていた日本でしたので、ゆっくり発展するれば後の戦争など必要なかったのではと、歴史に「もし」はないけれど心にうつりゆくよしなしごとを思ってはみるものです。ほんとにおっしゃる通りもっと東南アジアの国々に目をむけるべきだと思います。ただ情報がすくないので、このサイトのリアルなシンガポール情報はとても貴重だと思います。

Schools should teach children about evils of wars. Germany has done a great job unlike Japan who has yet to apologise for their past. In fact younger Japanese do not even know about much of their bad history. Without imparting such knowledge which their German counterparts have done so, the younger generations may not fully understand the need to avoid wars in future.

My 10 cent view, we were taught about that part of history about Japan's invasion. But today we know it as a part of history for us to reflect and maintain a good relationship with our dear allies and friends of all nations. That is why the phase in our national pledge, "regardless of race, language or religion" we acknowledge mend and move on. Good that our older generations also view it that way or even better they see it as Japanese culture is something we should have also (Example: Clearing after you! Table clearing LOL)

シンガポールの中に、戦争歴史の問題により日本のことを憎む人はいないと思います。その理由はシンガポール人の歴史観は1965年のシンガポール独立してから形成してきたからだと思います。しかも、地理的にシンガポールと日本は離れている理由もあります。比較してみると、日本と近隣国の中国、韓国の関係は地理も歴史も文化も色々な面の複雑さがあります。残念ながら日本側だけ一方で戦争のは問題を忘れることにより解決することはありません。しかし、アジア諸国の人民はGhibさんとJimmyさんのようにもっと知り合えば、明るい未来が来ると確信しております。私もシンガポール人です。よろしくお願いします。

I think Jimmy is born post WW2. He had not experienced what it is like to live under the Japanese occupation. But he must have heard of the chilling exploits that the Japanese did during these period. These encounters are passed down by ear through the generations. By hearing them, one can realized what cruelty and suffering the war can bring to it's people. Some history cannot just be forgotten. But it is not a history as a medium to bear hatred, but as a lesson to remind ourself how precious stability, peace and happiness can be, and how all this can be easily destroyed by war.

Kopitiamのおじさん！ 28年前にはじめてシンガポールを訪れた時は何故かしかめっ面でそっけなく接客されることも少なくなかったですが、いつ頃からか笑顔の接客が増えたように感じます。

my granduncle and father in law are more than 80yrs old. They have been through Japanese Occupation; hiding or falsifying age to get more rice, but they do not hate the Japanese in general.
