Contradiction (Accuracy of figures)
The figures given, which imply 140000 deaths, are blatantly incorrect: contemporary estimates gave 850 out 87000 dead. [1] Plenty more perished on the Death Railway etc, but that was outside Changi. Jpatokal 13:24, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Looking at this article, I think the assertion that "Compared to the conditions in most Japanese POW camps at the time, Changi was comparatively comfortable" although arguably true is misleading. The prison camp is notorious and surely some more detailed mention of the conditions experienced is needed to balance this out a bit.
How could Nick Leeson have been one of the "prominent detainees" when he was born in 1967? The detainees were relased *decades* before he was even born!
According to the information in this article, the King Rat (1962 novel) page contains a wildly incorrect figure for the number of survivors. Please discuss this on the King Rat talk page. -- Sakurambo 桜ん坊 18:49, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
- Psst — if you actually read the article, Changi Prison is still operating today. (Not in the same buildings though.) Jpatokal 19:57, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
