The Japanese war heightened and the heartless killings went on a spree till sheer misery loomed over the entire Tanah Melayu for more than three tragic years. Survivors of the gory war could only narrate torture, atrocities including teen rapes, deep sorrow and broken dreams even as this chapter is being written. There was no hope of victory against a fierce nation, the land of the rising sun. Though faced with fear of the glistening samurai swords, the soft-hearted Malays still referred to Japan by its poetic name, Negara Matahari Terbit and the Japanese people as orang Jepun.
"My death is my apology for my great crime" - a kamikaze (suicide) note.
"Sayonara, my soldier...you are brave to die for your country." That's all I have to say to the Japanese soldiers who died fighting for Japan in WWII.
What are the "International Laws of Warfare"? I haven't heard of them. Who made them? Who approved them? And how come we still have war today involving superpowers? Or is it a masked genocide? So the Japanese war wasn't so bad after all? Necessary evil?
Hiroshima - Dropping the Bomb
Hiroshima - Atomic Bombing (nuclear fission and mushroom cloud)
This song is for all who have broken hearts, from all causes, including war.

Japanese Occupation
Behrang Ulu in Perak
Behrang Ulu is in Perak. Behrang Ulu is located approximately 12 km north of Tanjung Malim if passing through Proton City, and 7 km west of Behrang or Behrang Stesen, and approximately 25 km south of Slim River, Perak.
Behrang Ulu comprises two settlements at the upper reaches of Sungai Behrang which flows into Sungai Bernam. One settlement Kampung Sungai Sekiah and Batu 8 has many Malay settlers while the another settlement at Kampung Baru Behrang Ulu (called POS in the local accent) has Chinese and Indian settlers. The Orang Asli live nearby in Kampung Chinggong and Chinaen.
The Malay settlers of Behrang Ulu comprise various ethnic groups such as the Mandailing, Minang, Rokan, Selayang, Rawa and Kampar among others.
Dr Burhanuddin al-Helmy had studied at Sekolah Melayu Behrang Ulu before proceeding to Sekolah Melayu Bakap.
Behrang Ulu is agricultural land and produces seasonal fruits such as durian, mangosteen and petai.
Its rubber lands are no longer lucrative and have given way to newer industries including car manufacture.
Bandar raya Proton or Proton City was created based on an agreement between the government of Perak and Selangor to develop Lembah Bernam (Bernam Valley). Proton City was created for the production of Gen 2 cars after the Shah Alam plant was operating at maximum capacity and further expansion needed a new site.

Re: Bibliography of Primary Care Research
We are a group of primary care physicians and researchers from University of Malaya, International Medical University and the Ministry of Health conducting a research on "Evaluation of Primary Care Research". As part of the project, we need to collect as comprehensive a list as possible of all the research and publications done that is pertaining to primary care in Malaysia. As many of the articles published were not accessible electronically, researchers and doctors were not able to access the information which is essential for the progress of research in our country.
We understand that you have conducted research and published papers in Malaysia. We would really appreciate your co-operation to let us have a copy of all your full text articles for completeness of the data. We are hoping to produce a bibliography of the researches done from 1966 to date and this list will be valuable to all doctors who are going to conduct research. We appreciate your contribution to this research and will be happy to provide you a list of studies done when we have completed the project. We will also be happy to pay for the postage when you sent us your copies of papers if you provide us a receipt.
Please send your copies of papers to:
Associate Professor Dr Khoo Ee Ming
