Battle of Jitra (11-12 Dec 1941)

The British were wrong. All these while they had been saying about how inferior the Japanese are became untrue. In just merely two days, British had not only lost their air power, but also theur control of the sea. The atmosphere in Singapore became very tense and no one knows what would happen next.

The Japanese were swift and fast, using bicycles as their mean of transport down to Malaya. Their tanks were able to move through the jungle and the British were soon outnumbered as they were no matched for Japanese well trained soldiers.

These bad news came by and I was unaware of how bad the situation is. People started to panic and many started to escape from the country by any means. I have to stop writing now because it's was late already.
