I am an avid reader of malaysiakini residing in the US. I found the articles on the 'comfort women' more depressing than the accounts of other atrocities committed by the Japanese, which my late grandfather told me when I was a kid growing up in Sitiawan (Perak). The Japanese government has on many occasions tried to re-write its history and textbooks to close this barbaric chapter.

I am writing to thank malaysiakini for highlighting this important part of our history, another mis-step by Najib Abdul Razak, a political fence-sitter who scraped through with a majority of about 300 votes in the last general elections.

Please keep up the good work, without fear or favour.
