8. The Syonan Shimbun, Feb 28 Syowa 19 (1944) The Syonan Shimbun, a Japanese-owned paper during the war years, carried many propaganda articles or stories which put the Japanese in a favourable light. This article, written by a "Syonan Shimbun Staff Reporter" states that the Fuji Village which the Japanese ordered the Eurasians to create at Bahau in Negri Sembilan, is well on its way to success. It also shows a photograph with the caption: "A happy Eurasian family group outside a temporary homestead in Bahau." In reality, the project failed. Can we believe what it say? Why? What was the message it is trying to tell the people in Singapore? What was the purpose of this propaganda?
