Major events of this period

Sivadas s/o Sankaran, 82 , retiree: he was a journalist with The Straits Times from 1947 to 1951. He became a sub-editor with the same paper after that and stayed with ST till 1971. After the Japanese occupation, Japanese money became worthless. For instance, just after the British came back around Sept 5, 1945, I remember buying two eggs, each for $130 in Japanese currency, or what they call banana notes! Even that was considered cheap, because the hawker needn’t have accepted my Japanese money; it had become so valueless.
