The Unknown Truth of Singapore Sook Ching Massacre

On 18th February, 1942, the Japanese army issued a notice asking all Chinese men aged between 18 and 50 in Singapore to go to ‘screening centers’ to collect the ‘Good Citizen Certificate’, yet this was just the beginning of a nightmare. 76-year-old Loh Weng Kee recalled emotionally that his father was ‘missing’ in this ‘screening’ massacre, known as the Sook Ching Massacre.

According to the National Library of Singapore, at least 50,000 Chinese were killed by the Japanese forces during the massacre.
