i dont think japanese chefs has anything to do with the atrocities.. past, present or future...shouldnt u be boycotting japananese military stuff instead?

The world has long forgiven Japan but we can never forget.
The only reason people think little of the issue of covering up is the fact that they have not experienced the horror of that war. If your father/mother/wife/husband/children were killed by the Japanese, would you not feel enraged by the fact that they want to gloss over their atrocities so that the younger generation will not know how much suffering was endured because of their forefathers? By not taking a firm stance on this we are trivialising our dead, disrespecting them by wiping their memories off the face of the earth.
This issue is more serious than your sushi-eating or Japanese cars. Please don't disrespect the sacrifices that our forefathers have made. -

The bone of contention is not with the culture, however. The motive behind the Chinese and Korean boycott is a protest against the adamant refusal of the Japanese to acknowledge the atrocities committed by their expansionist-minded forefathers during World War II. It is indeed time to forgive and many would want to forgive, but forgiveness is meaningless and redundant when the perpetrators do not acknowlege the wrongs committed.
Chinese: "We forgive you..."
Japanese: "Forgive us for what? We deserve gratitude, not forgiveness."
It is debatable whether the bombs dropped at Hiroshima and Nagasaki were acts of retribution. Many historians, especially Americans, consider the bombs as a desperate measure to bring the proud, rather-die-than-surrender Japanese to their knees, to stop the war from prolonging any further. It is possible that without the two bombs in 1945, Singaporeans would be studying their textbooks in Japanese today. -
Time for you to quit eating rice cooked at home with your japanese branded rice cooker also. Go on, tell me you don't eat rice at home.
