THE MEMOIRS OF MUSTAPHA HUSSAIN - Malaysia Today

Testament
I am not ashamed to declare that my supposed collaboration with the
forces of the New Order, as a result of Ibrahim Yaakub’s (President of
KMM, the Young Malay Union, of which I was Vice President) collusion
with Japanese Intelligence before World War II, did not increase the speed
of the Japanese juggernaut by one iota, nor the speed of the British retreat
from the various fronts, from the mainland of Malaya to Singapore, by
one-thousandth of a second.
However, I am proud to claim that I was instrumental in reducing
the sufferings of the people by getting them out of the way of the Japanese
army, feeding some stranded people, helping the Volunteer Officers and
men I met on the way, and saving from certain death at the hands of the
Japanese the lives of some ten Intelligence Officers working for the British
and the Dutch Governments.
While in Singapore, I concentrated on helping the ex-soldiers and exvolunteers
in every way possible, thus alleviating their sufferings and also
preventing them from being detained as Prisoners of War for the duration.
