It seems that in adversity the Japanese were ever ready to exaggerate the strength of their opponents by calling it a fortress when in fact the defences at Kampar had been hurriedly prepared in only seven days.
It seems ironic but gratifying to know that the government of Malaysia, a country now suffering from economic recession, are to invest funds to honour the dead of that war when former FEPOW’s, the living who were there, still strive for adequate compensation for the suffering they endured at the hands of the Japanese.
