Arthur Percival
After the war, Lieutenant-General Arthur Percival, who was General Officer Commanding Malaya, originally disparaged the Chinese community in his dispatches for not assisting the British enough during the invasion. He later changed his opinion in his book, "The War in Malaya", after his dispatches circulated in Singapore, causing an outcry among the local Chinese. He praised Dalforce, but still maintained that it had little impact in the battle.
