Bad memories softened by passing of time

THE Second World War ended in August 1945 with the unconditional surrender of Japan. That was 45 years ago. Some of us who lived through that period are still around.

When the Japanese army invaded Malaya, I was only 11 years old. My parents and the rest of the family were living in the upstairs part of the post office building in Kampar, Perak. This building is still a post office now.
