End of Japanese Occupation in Singapore, 15 August 1945

The dropping of atomic bombs caused Japan to surrender to the Allied Forces. On 15  August 1945, the Japanese Emperor announced the end of the war to the people of Japan. Two days later, the people of Singapore heard over the radio that Japan had surrender. 
on 28 August 1945, Allied Warplanes dropped leaflets from the air informing the Prisoners-Of-War (POWs) in Singapore that the war had finally ended. The POWs were happy to receive the news of the end of war.
