Singapore’s best hope for complete freedom was through a merger with Malaya.
British are still worried about the Communist threat in Singapore.
1 To gain independence from British
![Page 10: History - Chapter 9 Part 1 How did Singapore achieve independence?](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555d120ad8b42ab2228b4966/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
PAP believed that if Singapore were to join Malaya, Malaya can suppress the communist threats in Singapore.
Malaya was a strong anti-communist country.
2 To be free from communistthreats
![Page 11: History - Chapter 9 Part 1 How did Singapore achieve independence?](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555d120ad8b42ab2228b4966/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
PAP will need to fulfil the promise or the people will lose their trust in PAP.
The PromisePAP will achieve independence if they are elected.
3 To fulfil promises made during 1959 elections
![Page 12: History - Chapter 9 Part 1 How did Singapore achieve independence?](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555d120ad8b42ab2228b4966/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Singapore faces these problems
![Page 14: History - Chapter 9 Part 1 How did Singapore achieve independence?](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555d120ad8b42ab2228b4966/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

![Page 15: History - Chapter 9 Part 1 How did Singapore achieve independence?](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555d120ad8b42ab2228b4966/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Singapore can tap on these resources if Singapore and Malaya merge.
Malaya has many natural resources such as oil and rubber.
1 To tap on Malaya natural resources
![Page 16: History - Chapter 9 Part 1 How did Singapore achieve independence?](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555d120ad8b42ab2228b4966/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
This can lead to more jobopportunities and in turn, more economic growth for Singapore.
Merger can increase trade opportunities
2 To increase trade
![Page 17: History - Chapter 9 Part 1 How did Singapore achieve independence?](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555d120ad8b42ab2228b4966/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
3 To establish a Common Market
![Page 18: History - Chapter 9 Part 1 How did Singapore achieve independence?](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555d120ad8b42ab2228b4966/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
An agreement between countries allowing goods produced in one country to enter another countrywithout having to pay taxes.
Goods can be bought and soldfreely in the Common Market.
This will lead to an increase of trade, expansion of industries and in turn, can create more jobs for Singaporeans.
COMMON MARKET
![Page 19: History - Chapter 9 Part 1 How did Singapore achieve independence?](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555d120ad8b42ab2228b4966/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
![Page 20: History - Chapter 9 Part 1 How did Singapore achieve independence?](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555d120ad8b42ab2228b4966/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Initially, Malaya did not want Singapore.
Why not?
1961
![Page 21: History - Chapter 9 Part 1 How did Singapore achieve independence?](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555d120ad8b42ab2228b4966/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
“First, Singapore has about one million Chinese… The inclusion of this one million into the Federation will upset the racial balance of power in the Federation. Second, Singapore has too many pro-Communists who are supported by the Chinese in Singapore.”
Tunku Abdul Rahman Malaya’s Prime Minister
![Page 22: History - Chapter 9 Part 1 How did Singapore achieve independence?](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555d120ad8b42ab2228b4966/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Tunku was scared that Malaya will have more Chinese than Malays.
Racial Imbalance after Merger Tunku was scared
that Malaya would be influenced by the communists in Singapore.
Communist Influence
in Singapore
![Page 23: History - Chapter 9 Part 1 How did Singapore achieve independence?](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555d120ad8b42ab2228b4966/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Initially, Malaya did not want Singapore.
1961The Tunku changed his mind.
Why?
![Page 24: History - Chapter 9 Part 1 How did Singapore achieve independence?](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555d120ad8b42ab2228b4966/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
2 Reasons
1. A Solution for Racial Imbalance
3. Security IssueCommunist
Threat
![Page 25: History - Chapter 9 Part 1 How did Singapore achieve independence?](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555d120ad8b42ab2228b4966/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
A Solution for Racial Imbalance
Inclusion of Sabah, Sarawak and Brunei in the merger.This will then push the Malay population up.The problem of Chinese population exceeding the Malay population would be solved.

Security IssueCommunist Threat2
Pro-communist PAP leader, Ong EngGuan left PAP and challenged them in a by-election. He won the Hong Lim by-election and defeated the PAP candidate.
This made Tunku afraid that the radicals would take over PAP and make Singapore a communist country. Communists could use Singapore as a base to spread Communism to Malaya.
![Page 27: History - Chapter 9 Part 1 How did Singapore achieve independence?](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555d120ad8b42ab2228b4966/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Tunku did not want Communism to spread to Malaya from Singapore.
![Page 28: History - Chapter 9 Part 1 How did Singapore achieve independence?](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062418/555d120ad8b42ab2228b4966/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
