One of the greatest battles are that is being fought is the Battle of Opium Hill. It was also one of the fiercest battles that took place in Singapore in World War Two. It pitted the invading Japanese Army against a brave but heavily out numbered troop of the first Malay Brigade of the Malay Regiment. The battle was also remembered for the heroism of lieutenant Adnan Saidi, the leader of the brigade, who together fought with his men fought the Japanese. In the end, Lieutenant Adnan was captured and being tortured to death. I wasn't there at that time but if I were there, I would have panicked and ran away. Knowing this made me fear the Japanese because they could kill a very good person.
