Good character and reputation my ass
The Truth is here From that one dictionary, he mastered the language and became such a good translator-interpreter that he was moved upwards from one organisation to another, until he found himself attached to the top official in the Japanese civilian police. Bloody traitor. Self confessed Japanese war helper. Tmd.

eh, think u took the whole para out of context.
In the article that u have linked, President SR Nathan is clearly quoted as saying
"The Internet says I was with the Kempeitai, the military police. That is just not true,".
In fact, that was positioned immediately after the quote you have on your blog.
I think you are perhaps not the only one to think that way, that is why the two journalists have wrote that to verify the facts.
And surely, if he was a supposedly 'self confessed Japanese war helper' would that have been written into the article? I mean isn't the media supposedly very very very biased as you have implied in your blog entries? I'm sure they would not have put that in had they felt it would have caused an uprising against a 'self confessed Japanese war helper'.
just IMHO..
thanks for your thoughts :)
just some things you didn't look at: the date where the article was written which was actually in 1999, and that the article was already written after he was elected.
Also the article is slanted towards how wonderful a person he is.
The japanese assistance he provided wasn't the angle of the story, they put it in so that he could rebutt the accusations that were on the net.
Also, even if he wasn't with the Kempeitai, he was still helping the japanese no?
That is my take in this matter. He wasn't opposing them, he was actively helping them.
