Introduction


A Word of Peace

On 15 August 1945, Japanese war aggressors withdrew from Southeast Asia upon their defeat, ending one of the most devastating periods in the history of mankind. Now, more than 50 years later, we commemorate the anniversary of the end of the war and celebrate a period of peace.

As with any other historical event, with the passage of time, people may view what happened 60 years ago in a different light. A Westerner's interpretation of the war which took place in this part of the world could differ from a local's account. Similarly, what was written about the war half a century ago may not be the same as what is being written down.

Throughout the war in this part of the world, people put up with untold sufferings as they attempted to preserve their self-dignity and bring about peace. From all accounts, the price of peace did not come cheap and easy. Perhaps this is why we have been fighting so hard to maintain a state of peace these 55 years. History is like the brocade pouch the wise man carries with him. Hopefully, we can find the right path by digging deeper into this bag.

May all of us continue to work together for the honourable cause of maintaining WORLD PEACE!
