western evil imperialism was defeated

Mr Tann, I find these three videos you made precious. I'm a WW2 nerd myself. Your videos are made by an amateur so this is by no means a studio production, but then again you do not have the kinds of resources a studio would have and yet you've done such a stellar job and I thoroughly enjoyed these three videos. Despite the fact that you probably did these videos purely out of interest and passion, it still feels like with small embellishments your video would be very professional. Having lived in Bukit Batok, Choa Chu Kang and Yew Tee for most of my life, and having been super acquainted with the land surrounding these parts, I feel that your videos gave me a deep connection to places I've known from my childhood. Battles fought with blood on ground on which I trod unappreciatedly on my way to school all through my youth. While it's unlikely that documentaries will receive the kind of funding that other more exciting media forms do and would, I think the very least, the smallest and the barest minimum I could do was offer my words of appreciation. I feel my life enriched through this video.

I just started watching this vid, but I got here from the previous one - battle for Bukit Batok. Having lived in Bukit Batok and CCK for most of my childhood I recognised many of the places and roads and felt a deep connection to the place. I just got myself two beers and I'm here for more.

i'm late to the party, but I'm also absolutely gobsmacked. This is obviously a video that was produced by an amateur, but the amount of research that went into this, along with the narration which, while not done by a professional, is nowhere near half bad. With some minor embellishments and perhaps even a british accent (I'm only half-joking) you could even convince me that this documentary was professionally produced.

My family lived in this home in the mid 1970's! Very cool finds on this dig.

Tks for this photos bro😢

Thank you so much

despite falling into the hands of the japanese, Singapore must pay tributes all those who stood behind till the very end to help fought the japanese and had laid their lives for Singapore. Highest gratitude and respect to The Aussies, indians, punjabs, british nationals who have made it possible for rest of the lucky singaporeans to live on and had gotten help from the west after the war to re-built it to the modern city of today.....but where was china back then? sadly, they were not even there to help neither malaya nor singapore when the chinese migrants were in trouble but today, china has the cheeks to accused desendants of these chinese migrants of ungratefulness and for taking sides with the west and will not become one of theirs irregarless ! At least they were willing to die proecting their comrades but sadly not the chinese communist back then. honestly, if it wasnt for the former prime minister of singapore, lee kwan yew given his guidance to deng xiao ping and his successors, china will never be what she is today!

Great research resulting in another outstanding video. Thank you!

A truly detailed and outstanding video. Thank you!

Hi James, your video is quite helpful! We’re DWARFLAB, and we’re launching the DWARF 3, a smart telescope with features like automatic bird detection and 4K recording. We think it could enhance your content and would love to explore a collaboration. Interested in chatting?

trypophobia 🤣 only if it's some weird teeth on the roof of a fishes mouth

Great explanation of the dot sight in action

Great video thanks

I remember learning in army never to cross open areas.

I think this Jurong line is not viable. The two rivers are really too long and Japanese could have infiltrated and try to cross at night. The defenders would probably be bypassed encircled. Was this why everyone was so keen to abandon that position once they gave any semblance of an order to do so from Percival?

Bro, when is next video?

I bet ur watching this in school

when is next part

Very informative

This is fantastic. I am glad I have found this :)

WOW! A masterpiece and a definite educational resource for both teachers and students!

Thank you James, awesome video. Should be included in the NSF national education.

Hi James, what kind of hotshoe adapter do you used for these red dot?

Does the BCKF still come to this perch?

Hello Mr. Tann, this is a wonderful video! May I point out that you mentioned that the common kingfisher was a resident, and that you also mentioned that the blue eared kingfisher is migratory? The common kingfisher is actually the migratory one with the blue eared being an uncommon resident.

This is an excellent video of the attempted defence and final fall of Singapore in February, 1942. Lots of detailed information about the Imperial Japanese Army and the organisation of its divisions, brigades and batallions etc., and likewise, for the defending forces under the British Malaya Command. Superb footage of soldiers in the jungle and movements of armoured vehicles together with maps and commentaries of battles and skirmishes fought in the days leading up to the surrender of Singapore. A superb effort that will delight viewers who want to know more about what happened during those fateful days. Keep up the good work James.

A really good video, but be prepared to see lots of sponsored adverts.

what is a good focal length for an slr camera lens for beginners?

great stuff - thanks .(at 3.04 - 3.09, I can hear a koel in the background).

Very informative video on the subject of dot sights. More than excellent. Thanks, from Canada.

The narrator sounds old enough to have been there

As always, so very interesting, informative and enjoyable James, thank you.

Thanks for providing the names of the beautiful birds in your country. We can't wait to visit. ❤

hi James, do you think it is possible to create a computer game based on WW2 Singapore?

Very very nicely explained and well shot ❤

Awesome ❤video

Thank You. Great work.

... amazing details you painstakingly put together in your video about the fall of Bukit Timah during WW2 ... Feb 1942 Salutes to You 👏 🙌 Sir ! various mentions of Reformatory Road <now Clementi Road>, Reformatory School <renamed Gimson School where SMU stands today>, Sleepy Valley, also Ulu Pandan's 15 inch guns of BounaVista battery at junction of Uu Pandan Road, atop high grounds, .... also former Bukit Timah Camp where Fourth Avenue Residences are now <opposite Eng Neo Avenue before their move to Ayer Rajah Camp; taking over British Army R.E.M.E. premises circa 1970> Accolades for Excellent video production, animation and supporting information !

That’s the best advice I have ever heard James. Absolutely spot-on. Humility and sharing information are stand-out suggestions. Can’t believe we will be in Singapore in ten days time, our first time ever!

Wow such dedication. Will show this to my students! Thank you!
