Remaining prisoners unaware Kwok, others put on pre-dawn train for execution | Daily Express Online

AMONG those who carried out the decapitations was the son of a Japanese businessmen killed by the guerrillas on the night of the uprising. He was said to have wielded his Japanese military sword and hacked repeatedly at one of the prisoners (Mochizuki 1995: 60). Not much else is known of what transpired at Petagas after that, but news of the executions soon spread to Jesselton and the entire west coast. It had a profound impact on the morale and spirit of the people, striking fear in them. At the Batu Tiga prison the fate of those who had been sent to Petagas on 21 January was known to the remaining prisoners the following afternoon. Though the men were aware that Albert Kwok and the 175 men had been taken out and put on the train, they were under the impression that the men were being transported to another place to serve their prison sentences.
On 8 February 1944 the remaining prisoners, whose numbers had been increased by those arrested after 21 January, were once again taken out to squat in the prison compound. The same name-calling process was carried out. This time, 131 names were called, all Chinese.
These men were those determined by the Japanese to have been involved with the guerrillas, but in minor roles. Among those called were Liew Chi Nyen of Tuaran, Chong Pen, the father of Chong Kui Fah who had organised the guerrillas’ food supplies, and Shek Chun Feng, the brother of Shek Chun Fah. These men were transported to Labuan for long-term imprisonment.
Upon arriving at Labuan, the 131 men were paraded and humiliated before the Labuan population as a warning. There, the men were put to hard labour on public works. The Japanese did little to care for their welfare and many succumbed to fatigue and illness. As the Japanese did not provide them with sufficient food, many suffered from malnutrition. Most of the prisoners eventually died of severe diarrhoea, a result of consuming coconuts to supplement their diet. Deprived of food and medical supplies, the men could not carry on with their work. They simply stopped and were left to die slow, painful deaths.
Only 11 of the 131 survived the war and returned to Jesselton: Liew Chi Nyen, Fung Kon Ming, Yong Kin Siong, WongYen Chin, Chin Kon Fah, Voo Yen Chong, Lo Long Chin, Lo Si Biang, Chong Nai Shu, Ho Si Man and Chong Shi.
After the war, survivors from Labuan lodged a complaint against the local policemen at Labuan whom they accused of torturing the prisoners and for their negligence, resulting in many deaths. The policemen were put on trial by the post-war Allied war crime tribunals. Several of them were found guilty and were given prison sentences.”
Throughout the entire process of the guerrillas’ capture and detention, and subsequent execution or imprisonment, none were put on trial; none had appeared before a judge and given a fair hearing
