Singaporean here. Getting kicked out/expelled/quit/seperated, however it is lablled, is and forever will be the greatest blessing for Singapore. Thank you very much Malaysia
Malaysia kicked out Singapore was a blessing in disguise where we witnessed a small red dot is so successfully whereas Malaysia is trailing behind with little improvements, Lee Kuan Yew has had done a superb performance in the administration 👍👍👍💪👌
Kicked out or not, leaving Malaysia proves a great bless ing for Singapore. Sarawak should have followed suit then. We Sarawakians know why it did not.
@ThinkTalkListen i agreed. Imagine a foreigner telling history about other country. The title shoud be "why singapore withdrew...." To be honest, i felt ashamed to be Sabahans or Sarawakians under Malaysia.
@ brave up! Don’t be shame! we are asians and must standup for each other against the west hegemony that is eroding our pride and culture with disrespect!
Malaysia in the 1960s was not stable due to several factors, including the confrontation with Indonesia, the communist insurgency, economic imbalances among communities, and Lee Kuan Yew's demands for equal treatment for all races. These issues created further instability, leaving Tunku Abdul Rahman with no choice but to let Singapore separate from Malaysia.
Yes, correct, in Mr LKY leadership countries invested because of trust,,, now Mr lee ky is gone， everything is turning to be like India,,, will all these countries still trust sg? Big question matk
Before separation the Malaysian police who patrolled Singapore bullied local population and extorted people with trumped up offences. One Christmas eve when carollers were singing within their church compound Malaysian Riot Police from a nearby cantonment fired tear gas. Their military under a brigadier Alsagoff was belligerant to Singapore leaders. You should read Death of a Democracy (1969) by John Slimming about the militaty siding with rioters against Chinese civilians during the KL riots. Even today corruption there is endemic and systemic.
@@woilinang8430 British had valid reasons incorpoating "Malay supremacy" in the Constitution during Malaya independant in 1957. PAP LKW came into existence in 1959. Coming from a blind corner LKW questioning the Constitution upon joining Malaya Sabah Sarawak in 1963. Simple conclusion : Founder Tungku A Rahman did not accept LKW's concept and had to be detached from the mainstream.
Despite all the disagreement, the separation happen smoothly without any bloodshed from both side. Im not saying tungku decision is the best but at the same time it is not the worst. Tungku could become a dictator and accusing LKY and his supporter as pro communist to disposed them just like how suharto did to depose any of his political rival in indonesia. In the end tungku choose not to do it because he know if that have been done malaysia will turn to be more chaotic. Dont forget that malaysia is facing communist insurgency and indonesia confrontation at that time. Early 60 is the chaotic era for malaysian. Even if tungku agree with LKY idea, other malay nationalist supporter will not and dispose tunku for different pro malay nationalist leader. Just like malaysia politic today where pro malay nationalist supporter vote for different pro malay nationalist political party instead of UMNO. As malay malaysia i personally support the malaysia for malaysia concept by LKY but most malay around wont. They prefer malaysia to be a homogenous country like japan, korea or gulf arab where only one ethnic group in charge. I believe that impossible based on our population, geography and economy. They view non malay as outsider and hope non malay slowly immigrate to other country or assimilate to be malay. Even if that happen, immigrant from different country will replace them. Let face it, multicultural community have been part of foundation in this region since malacca sultanate. It have been part of our history from beginning and will continue in the future.
May i add here This concept of Malaysian Malaysia from Malay viewpoint is a facade for " Chinese Malaysia" concept. And I must say Tunku was so merciful. He could have locked LKY under ISA just the way the latter was known to do to his opponents On discovering that Tunku was about to expel Singapore ,The British High commissioner went to see Tunku on 8/8/1965 He proposed Tunku to lock LKY under ISA if that could helpTunkunto maintain Singapore within federation But Tunku was very upset when LKY incites the non Malay based political parties to unite against UMN
@@shamshulanuar7718 The actual straw that broke the camel back was LKY speaking proper Malay in Parliament, not those market type. As the speech goes into depth, Tunku and EW Barker were able to see most Malay MPs with their religious white cap sinking low in their seats and nodding in agreement. LKY could not finish his speech the following day because Parliament stopped.
Don’t you realise that Malaysia is in regression due to its Ketuanan Melayu Stand while Singapore has achieved Developed Nation Status without any natural resources because of it ‘Singapore for all races in Singapore stand! Racism practiced by the Malays is the main cause and reason Malaysia cannot develop as a Whole!😢
In more rural part of Malaysia, the chinese lived in “new villages” while malay villages usually start with “parit”. As a Chinese who grew up in Malaysia, I barely see other ethnic groups as the schools are racially segmented too. After living in Singapore and being part of their community events for several years, interactions with other races come naturally. No Chinese supremacy, just speak English and speak to anyone. I think it’s better off for everyone.
True in my heart I say is was a blessing from Allah went you say Singapore been kicking from Malaysia.. Why Singapore make it because of the leaders no corruption helpful to the people.. Thanks for kicking Singapore.. I'm proud to be Singapore.. Majulah Singapura
Thank you Sir Stamford Raffles for founding Singapore. Thank you Mr Lee for dedicated your life for Singapore and making it work. Thank you Tengku Abdul Rahman for kicking Singapore out. Lastly i thank abba for letting me born in Singapore at the right time.
From 8:45 - (paraphrasing): the expulsion of Singapore shocked not just Singapore, but the whole world. because it was unprecedented for a state to be ejected from a political union. Two questions: 1) What was the true intent of Tunku Abdul Rahman and the KL leaders in expelling Singapore (and Lee Kuan Yew)? and 2) Was it really an expulsion? Or was it a negotiated separation? I'll answer the 2nd question first. Tunku Abdul Rahman (TAR) had in early 1965 suggested that Singapore be "hived off" from the Federation. His proposal was for Singapore to be a "confederated" state instead of a federated state. This would mean that Singapore would have more autonomy, and KL would only be concerned with Foreign Affairs and Defence of Singapore. All other matters would solely be governed by Singapore, with no interference from the Federal Govt. Lee Kuan Yew (LKY) was intrigued by the proposal and authorised Goh Keng Swee to work out the terms of "hiving off" Singapore from the Federation. Goh met with Tun Razak (Abdul Razak Hussein), Deputy Prime Minister to negotiate this arrangement. BUT he (says he) persuaded the Malaysians that the only real solution was for Singapore to secede completely. Goh also said that the Malaysians did not need much persuasion, being of the same opinion that "Singapore must get out". Perhaps, they had a hidden agenda? Whatever hidden agenda the Malaysians might have had, we only have the narrative from Goh's "Albatross File" (sghistoryunauthorised.blogspot.com/2023/04/commentary-what-release-of-goh-keng.html). And the conclusion that separation was a negotiated process and by mutual consent. From the above, the readiness of the Malaysian leaders to "expel" Singapore relates to the first question: Why? Were there hidden agenda and stratagems? No country willingly allows a part of their union to secede. Singapore was relatively richer than the other states and contributed more than its fair share to the federal budget (5:07). Why was KL so ready to lose their richest state? Perhaps, because Singapore was seen as a non-viable state on her own? Without the backstop of Peninsula Malaysia, and her hinterland, Singapore was expected to fail economically, and then it would need to crawl back to KL and beg to be re-admitted and have no choice but to accept whatever terms KL would dictate. IOW, KL allowed Singapore to secede/separate because KL expected Singapore to fail and seek readmission later down the line. Except, Singapore not only did not fail, but succeeded. Wildly.
You gave a very accurate account. LKY wanted to stay with the federation but not GKS. GKS met up with the Tunku and it didn’t take long for the Tunku to kick Singapore out.
Its because the bumi scared of the intelligence and hard work of the chinese malaysian, they feel threaten and cannot continue to songlap. Instead now we got 1mdb and the songlap king bijan boy
Correction! Singapore was not kicked out. It was the Honourable late Mr Lee Kuan Yew who had the wisdom and foresight to pull out Singapore from Malaysia due to the toxic racism in Malaysia.
Actually, the UK did not approve the separation of Singapore from Malaysia, After the separation from Malaysia, Singapore's leaders seek recognition and support for their newly independent status, including UK. The UK Parliament passed the Singapore Act 1966 to formally recognize Singapore as an independent sovereign state. So Lee Kuan Yew and the Singapore government did want the separation

The reality is Malaysia needed to be a Malay governed state with a majority Malay population. With Singapore inclusion, this would not be possible as the Chinese population of Malaysia and Singapore together would have made this impossible to achieve. TAR orchestrated this for his own purposes. Singapore it has been a blessing in disguise.
@@gvibration1 correct from the outset. Islam as core politically supported religion and Bahasa as the government approved communication and education medium.
They asked for it, and they got it: Malaysia is still a regressed third world country dominated by a corrupted political party with power to exploit their people. It will stay that way until a revolution takes it over.
If LKY will allowed to lead Malaysia there will be no SG as a country but as a capital of Malaysia. Malaysia will become the most powerfull and rich country in SEA.
I am so thankful to be born in Singapore and that Singapore got kicked out from Malaysia. I am not a 2nd class citizen and enjoy a higher quality of life. If i were in Malaysia, I would not enjoy such privileges. Thanks for kicking us out ! LOL
The Malayan politicians were too afraid of losing seats and therefore power ....such selfish minds that hurt future generations. They should answer to their peoples. Then again, people of Sarawak and Sabah don't even want to fight for their own rights, when they start to question their privileges (or lack of) in the federation

Which country gave Singapore independence? Federation of Malaysia Singapore previously had been under the sovereignty of the British Empire since the early 19th century. After gaining its independence from the British Empire in 1963, Singapore briefly joined the Federation of Malaysia, before breaking away for independent sovereignty in 1965.

You omitted the fact that 'Tanah Melayu' (Peninsular Malaya) achieved independence first. Subsequently, they invited Singapore, Sarawak, Sabah, and Brunei to join them as an independent nation, as these territories were still under British colonialism at that time. Had they not joined, their independence might have been delayed, similar to Brunei, which gained independence in 1984. Furthermore, if Tanah Melayu had accepted Singapore's political views, it would have undermined the original objective of Tanah Melayu's independence, which was to reject the concept of the Malayan Union

I have been to Sarawak. It is actually a nice place and full of good hardworking people. But very under developed because all the money goes to the federal government and never come back to Sarawak for development. Sarawak should break away from Malaysia like how East Timor broke away from Indonesia.
You miss out the most important point if you examine the demographics of malaysia back in 1965. Chinese plus other minority races in Malaysia almost reached parity in numbers with Malays in Malaysia. It was difficult and hard to justify a preferential policy for 50% of your population only...by kicking out Singapore with its predominantly chinese majority population....UMNO have a strong majority of malays left in malaysia and the number of malay votes to carry out any constitutional changes to favour 1 racial group.

Pretty good summary of the events leading up to the separation. A slight nitpick - over here in Singapore, the "PAP" is treated as an abbreviation, not as an acronym. We say, "pee-ay-pee", and not "pap".
Malaysia had all the stars & planets aligned for its rise after the split in 1965. However, we’ve seen how Singapore had risen from the dumps from having practically NOTHING as compared to MALAYSIA which had EVERYTHING ! One can say that Malaysia & Singapore were born as twins but given the situation then in 1965 after the split, Malaysia should have advance much faster and higher than Singapore ! What happened ? We all know that Singapore with its MERITOCRACY had continued rising till today whilst Malaysia with its AFFIRMATIVE ACTION ( otherwise aka Aparteid ) had continued to go the other way. Instead of Rm : S$ should be 3:1 we’re seeing S$ 1 : RM 3 now. The Malaysian leaders , past & current, knew what had happened but chose to remain with its way of exploiting the ‘belief of Malays that their rights were protected from external threats by other races mainly the Chinese & Indians’ when in actual fact the leaders were just enriching themselves at the expense of the Malays. The non-Malays, with its reducing numbers, were NEVER relevant. One can safely say that Malaysia will continue with its downfall as long as the Affirmative Actions ( which should have expired in the 90s per the original Federal Constitution enforced in 1957.
Was Singapore a Chinese colony? Singapore had previously been established as a British colony since 1824, and had been governed as part of the Straits Settlements since 1826. The colony was created when the Straits Settlements was dissolved shortly after the Japanese occupation of Singapore ended in 1945.
Was Singapore forced to leave Malaysia? On 9 August 1965, Singapore separated from Malaysia to become an independent and sovereign state. The separation was the result of deep political and economic differences between the ruling parties of Singapore and Malaysia, which created communal tensions that resulted in racial riots in July and September 1964.
When Singapore was kicked out of the Malaysian Federation, it renders the MA63 null and void. There for technically Malaysia ceased to exist with the expulsion of Singapore unless a new agreement was made to indicate the exclusion of Singapore in the Malaysian Federation. Either that or Singapore is still a part of Malaysia.

Great history lesson. Today Malaysia seems to be much less so as to holding the Malay above the Chinese and Induan. Thriving economy, strong middle class etc. It would be nice to know how that came about
One angle is not mentioned. LKY wanted independence of Singapore all along. The British did not allow it in fear of Spore being run over by the Communist. So the British forced LKY to join Malaya to gain independence. After Independence, LKY masterminded the events that will get Singapore expelled and achieve his ultimate dream of having Spore all for himself. Need to dive in deeper into history to get that angle of the story.
Why did Tunku Abdul Rahman expel Singapore?UMNO extremists called for the arrest of Lee Kuan Yew. Seeing no alternative to avoid further bloodshed, Malaysian Prime Minister Tunku Abdul Rahman decided to expel Singapore from the federation.
Singapore and LKY were very fortunate because Tunku was not a dictator, while at the same time, the Malaysian government was very weak and unable to find alternative solutions, even by unfavorable means.

Both the Tungku and LKY were absolutely right under the extant circumstances to wisely part ways.

@@woilinang8430 British had valid reasons incorpoating "Malay supremacy" in the Constitution during Malaya independant in 1957. PAP LKW came into existence in 1959. Coming from a blind corner LKW questioning the Constitution
upon joining Malaya Sabah Sarawak in 1963. Simple conclusion : Founder Tungku A Rahman did not accept LKW's concept and had to be detached from the mainstream.
Despite all the disagreement, the separation happen smoothly without any bloodshed from both side. Im not saying tungku decision is the best but at the same time it is not the worst. Tungku could become a dictator and accusing LKY and his supporter as pro communist to disposed them just like how suharto did to depose any of his political rival in indonesia. In the end tungku choose not to do it because he know if that have been done malaysia will turn to be more chaotic. Dont forget that malaysia is facing communist insurgency and indonesia confrontation at that time. Early 60 is the chaotic era for malaysian. Even if tungku agree with LKY idea, other malay nationalist supporter will not and dispose tunku for different pro malay nationalist leader. Just like malaysia politic today where pro malay nationalist supporter vote for different pro malay nationalist political party instead of UMNO.
As malay malaysia i personally support the malaysia for malaysia concept by LKY but most malay around wont. They prefer malaysia to be a homogenous country like japan, korea or gulf arab where only one ethnic group in charge. I believe that impossible based on our population, geography and economy. They view non malay as outsider and hope non malay slowly immigrate to other country or assimilate to be malay. Even if that happen, immigrant from different country will replace them. Let face it, multicultural community have been part of foundation in this region since malacca sultanate. It have been part of our history from beginning and will continue in the future.
May i add here
This concept of Malaysian Malaysia from Malay viewpoint is a facade for " Chinese Malaysia" concept.
And I must say Tunku was so merciful. He could have locked LKY under ISA just the way the latter was known to do to his opponents
On discovering that Tunku was about to expel Singapore ,The British High commissioner went to see Tunku on 8/8/1965
He proposed Tunku to lock LKY under ISA if that could helpTunkunto maintain Singapore within federation
But Tunku was very upset when LKY incites the non Malay based political parties to unite against UMN
@@shamshulanuar7718 The actual straw that broke the camel back was LKY speaking proper Malay in Parliament, not those market type. As the speech goes into depth, Tunku and EW Barker were able to see most Malay MPs with their religious white cap sinking low in their seats and nodding in agreement. LKY could not finish his speech the following day because Parliament stopped.
Don’t you realise that Malaysia is in regression due to its Ketuanan Melayu Stand while Singapore has achieved Developed Nation Status without any natural resources because of it ‘Singapore for all races in Singapore stand! Racism practiced by the Malays is the main cause and reason Malaysia cannot develop as a Whole!😢
In more rural part of Malaysia, the chinese lived in “new villages” while malay villages usually start with “parit”. As a Chinese who grew up in Malaysia, I barely see other ethnic groups as the schools are racially segmented too.
After living in Singapore and being part of their community events for several years, interactions with other races come naturally. No Chinese supremacy, just speak English and speak to anyone.
I think it’s better off for everyone.

From 8:45 - (paraphrasing): the expulsion of Singapore shocked not just Singapore, but the whole world. because it was unprecedented for a state to be ejected from a political union.
Two questions: 1) What was the true intent of Tunku Abdul Rahman and the KL leaders in expelling Singapore (and Lee Kuan Yew)? and 2) Was it really an expulsion? Or was it a negotiated separation?
I'll answer the 2nd question first.
Tunku Abdul Rahman (TAR) had in early 1965 suggested that Singapore be "hived off" from the Federation. His proposal was for Singapore to be a "confederated" state instead of a federated state. This would mean that Singapore would have more autonomy, and KL would only be concerned with Foreign Affairs and Defence of Singapore. All other matters would solely be governed by Singapore, with no interference from the Federal Govt. Lee Kuan Yew (LKY) was intrigued by the proposal and authorised Goh Keng Swee to work out the terms of "hiving off" Singapore from the Federation. Goh met with Tun Razak (Abdul Razak Hussein), Deputy Prime Minister to negotiate this arrangement. BUT he (says he) persuaded the Malaysians that the only real solution was for Singapore to secede completely. Goh also said that the Malaysians did not need much persuasion, being of the same opinion that "Singapore must get out". Perhaps, they had a hidden agenda?
Whatever hidden agenda the Malaysians might have had, we only have the narrative from Goh's "Albatross File" (sghistoryunauthorised.blogspot.com/2023/04/commentary-what-release-of-goh-keng.html). And the conclusion that separation was a negotiated process and by mutual consent.
From the above, the readiness of the Malaysian leaders to "expel" Singapore relates to the first question: Why? Were there hidden agenda and stratagems? No country willingly allows a part of their union to secede. Singapore was relatively richer than the other states and contributed more than its fair share to the federal budget (5:07). Why was KL so ready to lose their richest state?
Perhaps, because Singapore was seen as a non-viable state on her own? Without the backstop of Peninsula Malaysia, and her hinterland, Singapore was expected to fail economically, and then it would need to crawl back to KL and beg to be re-admitted and have no choice but to accept whatever terms KL would dictate. IOW, KL allowed Singapore to secede/separate because KL expected Singapore to fail and seek readmission later down the line.
Except, Singapore not only did not fail, but succeeded. Wildly.
You gave a very accurate account. LKY wanted to stay with the federation but not GKS. GKS met up with the Tunku and it didn’t take long for the Tunku to kick Singapore out.
Its because the bumi scared of the intelligence and hard work of the chinese malaysian, they feel threaten and cannot continue to songlap. Instead now we got 1mdb and the songlap king bijan boy

Actually, the UK did not approve the separation of Singapore from Malaysia, After the separation from Malaysia, Singapore's leaders seek recognition and support for their newly independent status, including UK. The UK Parliament passed the Singapore Act 1966 to formally recognize Singapore as an independent sovereign state. So Lee Kuan Yew and the Singapore government did want the separation

You omitted the fact that 'Tanah Melayu' (Peninsular Malaya) achieved independence first. Subsequently, they invited Singapore, Sarawak, Sabah, and Brunei to join them as an independent nation, as these territories were still under British colonialism at that time. Had they not joined, their independence might have been delayed, similar to Brunei, which gained independence in 1984.
Furthermore, if Tanah Melayu had accepted Singapore's political views, it would have undermined the original objective of Tanah Melayu's independence, which was to reject the concept of the Malayan Union
The result is obvious if Singapore is still with Malaysia .. look at Sabah & Sarawak with all the resources … Majulah Singapore !!

He was a strong proponent of Sarawak's interests, including issues related to oil rights and the use of English as the official language.
Sarawak Emergency (1966):
The Malayan leaders waited after the separation, they wanted to take over the Sabah and Sarawak Continental Shelf. They passed the following 2 Acts, Continental Shelf Act 1966 and Oil Mining Act 1966.

You miss out the most important point if you examine the demographics of malaysia back in 1965. Chinese plus other minority races in Malaysia almost reached parity in numbers with Malays in Malaysia. It was difficult and hard to justify a preferential policy for 50% of your population only...by kicking out Singapore with its predominantly chinese majority population....UMNO have a strong majority of malays left in malaysia and the number of malay votes to carry out any constitutional changes to favour 1 racial group.

Pretty good summary of the events leading up to the separation. A slight nitpick - over here in Singapore, the "PAP" is treated as an abbreviation, not as an acronym. We say, "pee-ay-pee", and not "pap".
Malaysia had all the stars & planets aligned for its rise after the split in 1965. However, we’ve seen how Singapore had risen from the dumps from having practically NOTHING as compared to MALAYSIA which had EVERYTHING ! One can say that Malaysia & Singapore were born as twins but given the situation then in 1965 after the split, Malaysia should have advance much faster and higher than Singapore ! What happened ?
We all know that Singapore with its MERITOCRACY had continued rising till today whilst Malaysia with its AFFIRMATIVE ACTION ( otherwise aka Aparteid ) had continued to go the other way. Instead of Rm : S$ should be 3:1 we’re seeing S$ 1 : RM 3 now.
The Malaysian leaders , past & current, knew what had happened but chose to remain with its way of exploiting the ‘belief of Malays that their rights were protected from external threats by other races mainly the Chinese & Indians’ when in actual fact the leaders were just enriching themselves at the expense of the Malays. The non-Malays, with its reducing numbers, were NEVER relevant.
One can safely say that Malaysia will continue with its downfall as long as the Affirmative Actions ( which should have expired in the 90s per the original Federal Constitution enforced in 1957.

On 9 August 1965, Singapore separated from Malaysia to become an independent and sovereign state. The separation was the result of deep political and economic differences between the ruling parties of Singapore and Malaysia, which created communal tensions that resulted in racial riots in July and September 1964.
When Singapore was kicked out of the Malaysian Federation, it renders the MA63 null and void. There for technically Malaysia ceased to exist with the expulsion of Singapore unless a new agreement was made to indicate the exclusion of Singapore in the Malaysian Federation. Either that or Singapore is still a part of Malaysia.

@@kamrulz659 How could biasness towards the indigenous people lead to economic inequality detrimental to the indigenous people? Giving them too much that they become too lazy and refuse to work?
No mention of the Huks.
Both the Tungku and LKY were absolutely right under the extant circumstances to wisely part ways. Even today, the underlying issues that were responsible for separation have not been adequately addressed and far less resolved in either countries. Only brainless idiots in both coundries would dare dream of reintegration or reunification, both of which would be highly IRRESPONSIBLE projects not at all worth pursuing ! 😅 An excellent and highly objective presentation of the facts, kudos 🎉 ❤ !
race treated equally but not political differences. Anyone who isn't for pap loses all their rights
Sabah should kick out too.
First- This video is made by generative AI. So it is not a real work of intelligence. It rather sounds like the repetition of what already known facts and errors harvested from internet. So, don't rely so much on this video. And for this, I'm blocking this channel.
Second- The reason of Singapore's expulsion was this: ULTRA KIASU. This ideology may prosper a country by up to a century or so, but after that, it will collapse on its own. Don't take my word for that. Listen to what Elon Musk has to say. The similar ultra kiasu nations like China, Korea, Japan and Taiwan are seeing it already. I would bet it will take less than 2 decades (less than a generation) for Singaporean to start to see this.
Singapore want to be prime ministers okay
