Abstract

The years between 1955 and 1965 marked an extremely turbulent period for Singapore. In the span of a decade, Singapore first transitioned from a British colony to self-government in 1959. It gained independence through the merger with the Federation of Malaysia in 1963 but was asked to be separated in August 1965.
