Honouring those we lost in WWII


KUALA LUMPUR : In the stillness of the early morning at the KL Hokkien Cemetery, about 80 people gathered at a memorial monument yesterday.

With speeches delivered, wreaths laid and the mournful tune of the Last Post drifting through the air, they were there to honour Malayan civilians and servicemen who were massacred during the Japanese Occupation more than eight decades ago.
