The dropping of the Atomic Bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were on 6th and 9th August 1945. Due to the suffering and impact of the citizens of the country, Emperor Hirohito decided to surrender on 12 August 1945.

On 5th September 1945, British troops returned to Singapore as crowd welcomed the troops. "Seeing the British was like seeing a long-lost wife. We rejoice." the citizens commented. It was the end of their war. It was the end of their sufferings and hardship. But it still continued.

With the surrender of the Japanese, World War II in Asia formally came to an end. The Union Jack was once again hoisted on the flagpole. It was the same flag as the on used in the 1942 when the British surrendered, it was kept in Changi Prison camp during the Japanese Occupation.

The British set up temporary government in September 1945 for Post-war Administration. It was called the "British Military Admistration (BMA)".
