In 1965, Singapore Was Ousted From The Federation Of Malaysia. We Examine The Two Countries’ Respective Political Trajectories Between Then And Now.
It is August 1965. Less than two years after a merger, Singapore’s reluctant departure from the Federation of Malaysia throws her into alienated independence. The separation comes after racial tension and strained political relations culminated in rioting the year before.
The then-secretary-general of Singapore’s ruling People’s Action Party (PAP), Lee Kuan Yew, is named Singapore’s first prime minister, and faces the seemingly impossible task of shaping the nascent nation. Malaysia, now free from the internal threat of PAP’s influence, removes the party from its registry, forcing its Malaysian members to rename themselves the Democratic Alliance Party.

Introducing Hippocampus Unravelling the Seahorse
Seahorses are an elusive species that turn divers giddy with excitement. But what is it about them that fascinates people so much?
