KUALA LUMPUR, March 24 — Kedah state executive councillor in charge of tourism Mohd Asmirul Anuar Aris today oversaw the removal of a signboard at a Japanese war monument which had described its soldiers involved in the invasion of Malaya as “heroes”.
Asmirul told the news portal that the monument had existed since under the former Barisan Nasional administration and restoration works were on behalf of the Japanese consulate, as it was previously dirty and covered in shrubs. The sign explains the memorial commemorating the act of Commander Platoon Lieutenant Hajima Asahi and two others, who died in an attempt to secure what was then known as the Alor Setar bridge on December 13, 1941.
Just wondering how little IQ and EQ those people possess to even think of allowing that 'shrine' to be built in the 1st place. Let 's listen to their explanation.
Japanese were the cruelest people in the 20th century. Look at what they did : Nanjing Massacre, Comfort Women, Unit 731 live human experiments etcs.. the list is long. To this day the Japanese government / Emperor have not sincerely apologise the war crimes. Extremely Shameful !
