Considering the ultimate fate of many of those taken as POW by the Japanese … fighting to the last man for Singapore was the better option. I’ve visited Singapore and toured the bunkers where the British commanding officers conducted the defense of the island … pathetic as it was.

Indeed, it would have. After they took Singapore, the Japanese murdered about 25,000 of its civilian inhabitnts.
