During the Japanese occupation, some people were placed in prison where they had to behave normally, regardless of their race and religion. The four hundred of them bathed together everyday with a piece of soup in their hands and waits patiently for the water to be switched on. They were to be fast in everything they do. My father died in prison due to dysentery, which was an infection causing severe diarrhoea. There were many diseases and infections in the prisons. During morning assemblies, we had to sing the Japanese national anthem and was supposed to bow to the Japanese Emperor. We are supposed to bow to a soldier when you see him. If we do not bow to them, we would get harsh beatings by the Japanese.

...piece of soup (line 4) - do you mean soap? where did that come from? I only saw rag and water being mentioned in the text. Do not bring in new ideas not found in the text! Also, you exceeded the word limit!
