  1. Colonial and British infantries rather just ran away and didn't really fought at Malay Peninsula. Percival should've have stopped Japanese landing at all costs. When he conceded his defence line at the their island, the game was over

  2. IJA before the invasion had prepared a lot. Most of them were experienced army with countless battles with China and well trained with jungle warfares. British side had 3x more soldiers but they heavily underestimated IJA including racial prejudice. They had to defend Malay Peninsula first but didn't even formed a proper defence line and kept backing off. Many of British army didn't even fought and just ran away. Japanese prepared thousands of bicycles and swept malay Peninsula at lightning speed Finally after conceding Malay Peninsula in only 4 weeks. Percival had to stop Japanese landing on Singapore at all costs. But Japanese general Yamasita tricked them, showing headlights of trucks moving left to right of the island at nights and suddenly attacked left side and successfully landed. The outcome was decided, and IJA kept coming inside blocking their water supplies. Churchill ordered Percival to fight till the last man like Stalingrad but he refused and surrendered with 85,000 men.
