This work examines Japans economic activities in Singapore from
1870 to 1965. Drawing upon a range of published and unpublished
sources, the authors shed light on issues such as: prostitution;
foreign trade by Kobe's overseas Chinese; fishermen in the
inter-war period; Japanese economic activities during the Pacific
War; Japanese involvement in Singapore's post-war industrialization
plan; the Lee Kuan Yew regime's policy towards Japan; and the 1960s
Japanese investment boom. The book challenges commonly-held views
on Japan's economic advance into Southeast Asia in general, and
Singapore in particular.
