During the war , ration cards were often the only way to get food. However, the quality of food was not always good. Rice had weevils and stones in them.
One of the most serious problems during the Occupation was food shortage.
The people of Singapore were encouraged to grow their own vegetables.
In addition, the Japanese also issued ration cards to control supplies of rice and other essential items.
You could not get any provisions from shops if you did not have this ration card.
Each adult was given a ration of 4.8kg of rice per month and each child 2.4kg. This amount was subsequently reduced to 3.6kg per month for adults.
Even then, these ran out before long.
