Last week Sultan Omar offered to lend the Malay Federation government a sum of about $14 million, as a gesture of friendship to a country which, he said, was "fighting our war against Communism as well as theirs."

"Down there is much malaria-tomorrow you will be dead," said his guards mockingly. Countless Britishers and an estimated 130,000 Malay natives learned that the Japs were telling close to the brutal truth. Every crosstie under 400 miles of track was paid for with a human life, though, thanks to R.A.F. bombers, no train ever completed a trip. Author Braddon shriveled to 81 Ibs., collapsed with fever...
