In the Museum Trip i found the history about the Japanese Sword while the early century and they surrender in malaysia.There is a two and half feet long Japanese sword which in the popular mind symbolized many things including Japanese military valour and the infliction of torture of the worst kind perpetrated on the local population.
This particular sword has quite an interesting history. It was surrendered by an unknown Japanese officer on 3rd September 1945 and then kept as a memento by the 3rd Battalion SSVF (Penang and Province Wellesley) to "commemorate the services of the battalion and placed at its headquarters in Peel Avenue.
After the dispersal of the battalion the sword was handed over to Captain Mohd. Noor Mohamad, the officer commanding the Malay company of 3rd Battalion". Mohd Noor kept the sword until July 1964 when it was presented to the Penang museum, in his words, "as a solemn token of deep appreciation of devotion and loyalty of all his friends - officers and other ranks of the 3rd Battalion SSVF who served during the war."
