Singapore in Malaysia: The Politics of Federation by Michael Leifer
“Reluctantly Declared Independence” is a phrase that i never thought that i was to hear.
Because Singapore basically did not have the basic natural resources, water and food, to feed itself. Todate Singapore has to buy water from Malaysia. It's not just a commercial transaction. If the Malaysians 'turn off the tap' as they say, it will be an act of war
Also, you have Uruguay in 1830...
@@Danilium how did uraguay show its reluctance to independence
@@johneyon5257 We did not want it within the first 30 years after the independence. When Uruguayan independence from the Brazilian Empire was declared in 1825, it was done with the simulateous incorporation (union) as a province to the United Provinces of the Río de la Plata (modern Argentina). However, due to a betrayal in 1828 from the Provinces, trying to avoid a war with Brazil, they accepted a British proposal to make Uruguay independent from all countries and to reject the acceptance to the incorporation, the Provinces, Argentina and Great Britain made us independent without Uruguayan consent. The Preliminary Peace Treaty of 1828 forced us to give ourselves a Constitution and create a country, without having actual borders (the treaty did not say which were the limits with either Argentina nor Brazil). After 10 years of regional instability, that issue provoked a conflict and a civil war in Uruguay that extended to the three countries for over 14 years (the Guerra Grande). After the end of the war, the independence was again guaranteed by those countries, no limits. The final border treaties were signed in 1852, 1909 and 1913 with Brazil and in 1961 with Argentina (no kidding on the dates).

@@ariv8585 Depends how you view Malaysia. I'm a Malaysian here and I personally think there are perks on living in both countries, depending on taste. Singapore of course, is a highly cosmopolitan and wealthy country whilst Malaysia is more of a laid-back country with a better development level than that of other neighboring Southeast Asia countries. However the government can get quite corrupted, infrastructure can be lacking in some areas. To sum up, we aren't that bad, but we could've been better.
"The Japanese had made sure to place them under the control of the native people"
One of those wonderful statements that falls under "technically true"
What is the full truth?
The Japanese actually had full control. And they enforced control with state terror... beheadings of people suspected of aiding the British & the resistance, "comfort women", massacres, and death camps. Many Malayans were pressed into forced labour to build railways, roads, and military infrastructure.
@@jonathantan2469 Yeah, I did a double-take when he said that with no further explanation. Kinda disingenuous, at least to me.
For a moment I thought he said "place them out of the control of the native people" but on further review he did say "under the control" which is really, really wrong. Kind of like calling occupied Japanese territories a "Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere."
@@rachelcookie321 the japanese put people of the countries it invaded as leaders so the citizens will be obedient to them, basically puppets

Not wrong
Rhodesia was basically declared independent by Britain too, I believe.
@@katzlang Nah Rhodesia declared independence but Britain did not accept Rhodesia's independence, as Britain was scheduling independence for Rhodesia through another faction.

I'm a Malaysian. As I grew up and learned in school, I've always been taught Singapore wanted to leave. This video made me realize I never tried to figure out if the stuff I was taught are actually fair or accurate. Damn i've been bamboozled my whole life. Forgive me, Singaporeans, for my ignorance
..if the stuff I was taught IS actually fair or accurate…
Anyone makes mistakes, especially unintentional ones. The fact that you recognized ignorance and replaced with it humility, acceptance, and thirst for knowledge and truth makes you more than a Malaysian. You are a citizen of the World. 🙂
The same with Philippines. After president Marcos was forcibly kicked out of the presidency by people's revolt led by the opposing Aquino's Liberal Party.. Children growing up were taught and brain washed in schools, that the Marcoses were the evils that dictates what the country should be.. However after three decades under the political clout of the Aquinos, and the country sliding down to its lowest stature with rampant corruption and poverty.. the general populace has awakened to realize who the real hero was. If BONGBONG MARCOS the son will win the presidency on this year's presidential election, then the world should expect the Philippines to bounce back, and a long delayed continuation to its being known as The Rising Tiger of Asia should then commence.
eh bro, at the very least you made an effort to fact check various courses and conclude the real history instead of the "altered" one taught to you. Kudos for that!
Too bad for the other commentors though..
The winner gets to write the history book. My countries history books are nonsense too. You are very intelligent to be questioning your own education. Books are written by people and we all have our flaws.
Impressed by how politely the Singaporeans and Malaysians have remarked here. Signs of mature and educated societies.
Both countries have accepted the reality that they are sovereign nations given the incidental historical developments.The only recourse is to enhance Asean solidarity and I see both sides doing it.For us Malaysians,the past is irrelevant and we treat Singapore as foreign as we treat Thailand,Vietnam, Hong Kong, Indonesia etc.

This is the kind of hard hitting, short, square based, informative animation we need. Something that some channels would needlessly plump up into a 15 minute video, full of filler, cut down to exactly what is pertinent.
And we get animation that could get you slapped with a Cease & Desist from Lego's "Duplo" division.
Personally, I admire Singapore as a country and Lee Kuan Yew. He took a stand in what he believed in and even though SG was kicked out of of the Malaysian Federation because of those ideological differences, they were able to rise up and become a wealthy and prosperous nation. I’m from Philippines and I have been to a Singapore for a vacation and people there have a sense of responsibility and discipline.
if you live there you'll discover the discipline has some weird side effects, and dissipates as soon as a singaporean crosses a border :P nonetheless, the world being a complicated place, i agree, Sg is a lovely place

So why Singapore still asking water from Malaysia? If Malaysia stop giving you water, Singapore can't even stand
@@arx117 it's not about 'asking water from Malaysia' There are agreements signed between both sides. You may want to look up Google about the water agreements between both countries.
@@arx117 That's exactly the reason the success is impressive.
Singapore lacks any natural resources, even essentials such as water.
But despite lacking resources, the state has made itself a center of trade, culture and wealth in Southeast Asia, carrying itself higher than many of its larger neighbors who have plentiful resources.
The wealth of Singapore is the result of brilliant diplomacy, bringing value to other nations, and strict anti-corruption measures.

As a Singaporean, I would like to point out some issues in the vid:
0:54 Britain actually adopted a policy of gradual disengagement for Malaya and Singapore. Unlike the Dutch and the French who ended up fighting wars (in Indonesia and Vietnam respectively), the British promised independence for Singapore and Malaya early on. The reason why it took so long for Malaya and Singapore to become fully independent was because the British were afraid of communist guerillas taking over and had to flush them out first, during the Malayan Emergency.
1:25 The Malaysian Solidarity Convention was actually formed from opposition parties, including the PAP, to oppose the ruling Malaysian party UMNO (Tunku actually led UMNO, so basically the video had it the other way round). In fact, the MSC was led by Lee Kuan Yew himself and their motto "Malaysian Malaysia" reflects their ideal of a Malaysia serving all Malaysians, no matter Chinese or Malay or Indian, in contrast to the "Malay Malaysia" being advocated by the ruling party UMNO and their discriminatory policies.
I like this channel and its short informative videos but the mix up between the MSC and UMNO plus the incorrect explanation of "Malaysian Malaysia" is a serious mistake and I hope it can be corrected.
Adding another comment, because I think some people will be confused about the difference between "Malaysian" and "Malay".
"Malaysian" is a nationality referring to the people of Malaysia. So a Malaysian can be Malay, Chinese, or even Caucasian.
"Malay" is an ethnic group.
@@fizzfuzz2250 Additionally, what was not mentioned in the video about Brunei's withdrawal from the merger agreement as a result of the revolt which the revolt was instigated by the insurgents as who were members of the TNKU (North Kalimantan National Army), a militia supplied by Indonesia and are linked to the leftwing Brunei People's Party (now banned), which favoured a North Borneo Federation back then.
Which like you, a fellow countrymen as well.
Speaking as someone from the other side of the planet, I have no idea how accurate this video is but I found it funny AF.
A lot of rethoric about a simple reality. Singapore is the natural continuation of Malay Peninsular. It is/was part of Malaya and nobody/anything else.
@@fizzfuzz2250 iI think any half educated person should know all that.
Interesting and I learned even more from the comments about certain issues. Watching from the Philippines.
I found this to be an extremely informative presentation, but I think I'll have to re-run it several times. It covered so many events and political manoeuvring that I really struggled to keep up.
Hate to break it to you, but the video largely got the nitty-gritties wrong. The reason Singapore was kicked out was because the PAP was fighting for rights for *all* Malaysians, while the main party UMNO was adamant on preferential treatment for the ethnic Malays, just so that the Malays could catch up economically.
I can see UMNO's point - if they kept status quo, the Chinese would be the overwhelming economic force despite being the minority race, and that sounds like a recipe for disaster (I understand this was the situation in WW I Germany, where I understand that the Jews were the main economic force. Please correct me if I'm wrong). I can also see PAP's point, since any inequality in a fragile federation would lead to disharmony, or even outright riots. Since both could not agree on what was best, Singapore was (heavily) encouraged to leave. (Heck, who am I kidding.... we got kicked out!)
@@RahimRahmat As far as I know the Jews had a decent portion of the economy, especially for their population size. But by the 1930s their economic influence started to diminish.
The biggest reason for their targeted discrimination was a popular German conspiracy of “Germany being betrayed by an enemy within”
and well… most of Jewish history has always been the role of scapegoat so… the rest happened.
To add on to the comment above, the reason for the Chinese having such a large economic influence on the economy was thanks to the British (what a surprise).
The British liked to separate industries through racial barriers, and imported Chinese workers for the incredibly large Tin industry (which at the time provided 70% of the worlds Tin supply I believe)
The Malay populace was left in charge of agriculture, which gave them ownership of large amounts of land but was far less profitable.
As for the Indians, I don’t think they had a specific role. But they had a good command of English which was very useful in general.
This eventually led to a lot of the industrial and economic hub within Malaysia to be controlled by a minority Chinese population.
The racial policies favouring Malays was put into place to forcibly close this gap (via. reserving university slots for ethnic Malays, having some lands only purchable by Malays, education subsidies, business subsidies etc.)
A lot of modern Malaysian politics still focuses on these polices which are still in place. Now I would love to recommend learning more about Malaysian politics, not because it’s educational, but because it’s a complete dumpster fire that’s simultaneously a soap opera and a comedy. Especially now, since elections are taking place as I write this comment.
And the politics of Malaysia remains basically unchanged to this day, following racial lines.
Sadly, i feel like this is just how melayu people think since indonesia is not that much different
Nice try buddy, now imagine if the chinese would close down chinese privilleges as well.
More like ethnic groups
@@nakanowatari3339 Indonesia is different, due to the need to uphold Pancasila

Singaporean here, this is mostly correct. You just missed out on the fact that the breaking point was during the racial riots which pushed malaysia to kick singapore out

It can't be help. Somebody just want more power to themselves then helping the nation out.
The 1964 race riots was it? I read a bit about that. Sad how these kinds of things happen. Same goes for the 1969 riots as well. It was so bad that Malaysia created the 5 National Principals to make sure the new generation never will bring about the same kind of violence again.

Both of the countries are top of their region for development and quality of lives so it was a mutual beneficial.
@@BandenTCY Sejak bila Malaysia kick out Singapore? Kalau ikutkan Singapore yg keluar Malaysia..
I recommend reading Lee Kuan Yew’s 700+ page biography. As I understand it, it was made clear to him that Malaysia would proceed on a path towards Apartheid. He then decided that separation was essential as he couldn't accept this as the minorities would become second class citizens. This did happen when in the 70s when Malaysia passed the National Apartheid Act (NEP). Today Malaysia has first class citizens and second class citizens, the division is based on racial and religious grounds.
Wow they have an official act named Apartheid
The native Malays were suppressed - part of British divide and rule policy. This was sought to be reversed by the Malaysians who wanted all, especially the natives to be given an equal opportunity. And was opposed ironically, by the "communists" under under LKY alongwith his legendary throttling of freedom of the press. For the sake of the true freedom of its native population, the Malays were forced to cut links with Singapore with its then US and Chinese friendly government. The issue of the native Malay suppression was at the heart of the issue, just as in Hitlers Germany

I was 7 years old when I toured Singapore and Malaysia with my Grandparents in 1974. They hired a car and I remember Grandfather letting me adjust the radio and I tuned in a station playing Cliff Richard "Flying Machine." The food was all very delicious but the hot, sticky weather was unpleasant compared to the warm dry air back home and the air-con in our hotel didn't seem to cope with the weather and I didn't sleep well. We hired a tour guide in Malaysia but his name escapes me. If I remember correctly he was a university student and spoke perfect English, and called me by a name that he told me meant "little brother" or "sidekick" in Malay. He was also in a rock'n' roll band. I more vividly remember the flight back home to Johannesburg and the Air hostesses treating me like I was a VIP, one presenting me with a gift set of matchbox-like toy airport vehicles with the airline logo on them. The only real impression left in my young mind, aside from the hot and sticky weather, was that most people in Singapore and Malaysia seemed to be happy or smiling.
During that period of Malaysia, we just survived one of the deadliest riot and learned an important lesson. the people were incredibly hopeful and greatful of what the future holds and no racism were being proppaganded to the masses by the politicians. Ask any boomers they will agree that was the golden period of Malaysia.
Factual error: "Malaysian Malaysia" was in fact the rallying cry of Lee Kuan Yew and others opposed to special privileges for Malays and other indigenous peoples of Malaysia, i.e. they wanted a "Malaysian Malaysia" (all races as equal citizens) rather than a "Malay Malaysia" (Malay supremacy). The video is correct that those advocating a "Malaysian Malaysia" formed the Malaysian Solidarity Convention (MSC), but wrong that the MSC was the dominant political power led by Tunku Abdul Rahman. In fact it was the opposite. Tunku Abdul Rahman - who was Prime Minister at the time - led the United Malay National Organisation (UMNO), the dominant political party, which advocated a Malay Malaysia. The MSC was opposed to this, advocating a Malaysian Malaysia.
That's correct, Yi Ling. The Alliance Party (actually the coalition comprising UMNO, MCA & MIC) under Tunku took the decision to expel Singapore from the federation as he feared race riots which could not be controlled as the "Ultras" in UMNO wanted LKY's blood. LKY was advocating "Malaysian Malaysia" and doing away with Malay supremacy. Syed Hamid Albar and the other Ultra's kept insisting that Tunku arrest LKY. Finally, in order to maintain peace in both Malaysia and Singapore, Tunku took the decision to expel Singapore.
I think the video confused "Malaysian" with "Malay"; "Malay" refers to the ethnic group, and "Malaysian" refers to all citizens of Malaysia. So the video thinks that "Malaysian Malaysia" means "Malaysia for (ethnic) Malaysians," when really it means "Malaysia for (all) Malaysians."
I hope he pins this post!
Well this is pretty true. But for people far away in the UK, Nigerians and South Africans are about the same. Same here too.
Wasn't there another party who vouched for the Malay Malaya? Where all inhabitants of Malaya (this was pre 1964) regardless of race are Malay? It was a pretty interesting concept ngl
Hi - being from Singapore I really appreciate that you're covering a key part of our history! But I just wanted to point out a few inaccuracies in your video: Tunku Abdul Rahman did not lead the Malaysian Solidarity Convention, he led UMNO and the Alliance Coalition which the MSC was formed in opposition to. Conversely, Lee Kuan Yew and his Singapore-based People's Action Party led the pan-Malaysian movement of the MSC, and "Malaysian Malaysia" was the rallying cry of those opposed to the concept of ketuanan Melayu. "Malaysian Malaysia" was not, as your video suggests, the racial policy of the Malaysian establishment, but rather the belief that the economic, social and political opportunities in Malaysia should be equally provided to all Malaysians of all races, rather than being affirmatively provided to those of the Malay race.
Nonetheless, it's great that you've covered this part of our history. Separation is a very interesting historical topic, given that (as you have rightly pointed out) expulsions have been exceptionally rare across the world. The fact that it did happen in our corner of the world points towards a unique mix of racial demographic, political and Cold War factors that defined Malaysia and Singapore in the sixties.
Cheers, your videos have been a great source of learning for me, and keep up the good work!
Pure chinese rubbish.
There is no such thing as Ketuanan Melayu. It has been the Malay Kingdom with Malay Sultans all the while in the Malay Peninsula in the Malay Archipelago. The Chinese were poor migrants from China and citizens of the Chinese Emperor Pu Yi and others. Lee Kuan Yew tried to steal the Malay Land into Chinese Malaysia when Chinese migrants are not entitled to anything much less citizenships of the Federated Malay States. Why should chinese migrants be given Malay Federation citizenship, I ask you? Theywere not forced to leave China. You are still welcome to to go back to China like Kuok and Jho Lo and Namwee. Are Malays being given equal right in China? Heck even UIygurs are being detained in concentration camps, Tibets want out of China. So why do you think you Chinese owned the Malay island Singapore?
It is something 'taboo' to talk about Tunku's decision among Malays here(Malaysia). But what i believe, Tunku's decision have silver lining for majority(malays and other pribumi) because most of majority were poor and uneducated compared to chinese comunnity during that time. Nationalism based on racial sentiment was very high during that time and for short term, the decision was 'good' for Malaysia peace, but for long term, not so much for Malaysia. At the end, it is what it is. Hope Malaysia and Singapore can be good brothers forever, complementing for good to each other.
Something very worthwhile to read is Lee Kuan Yew's autobiography, not just about the independence issue, but also the quite difficult years after independence and how he and his cabinet made a tremendous success out of S'pore. I'm an American and I found it fascinating.
It's also a treat to get his thumbnail sketches of different world leaders he worked with and countries he visited. He is, for instance, utterly scathing about Sri Lanka, pointing out that it had all the gifts at independence and completely squandered them, something that, unfortunately, is even more true today. He has a lot of admiration for the Japanese, mixed with sadness and incomprehension at their inability to admit fault for WWII.
Lee Kuan Yew was a one-off - we'll never see his like again.

The Tunku never expected SG to survive on its own and fully expected SG to come crawling back, which he would accept but on his own bumiputra terms. That probably why he conceded negotiations on all major amenities (like the water agreement and shipping navigation right etc) because he didn’t want to take any excuses that he caused SG’s failure. He never expected LKY to take SG to the heights it achieved and worse, never expected SG to eclipse MY the way it has done. Tunku may be considered one of MY’s best leaders but his underestimation of SG really tainted his legacy.

If you want, you have to change your skin to the country color and change your china name to the country name (native Asean custom). Thankfully now, though not all but more Asean countries are celebrating racial diversity. Thanks to Malaya because being the first to make way for an ethnic Chinese presence.

My father was a seaman and told me about SG in the very early 60th was a very dangerous place. Drugs, prostitution, gambling, gang violence and racial wars. Once it became independent it changed so much. I think with few exceptions, has one man turned a country around and made it prosper so fast. Even today it is going strong, not being a true democracy, using some socialism, capitalism and strong leadership. Having a very diverse ethnic, religious, cultural population.

"Malaysian Malaysia" was actually Lee Kuan Yew's policy promoting equality amongst all the ethnic groups. Malaysian is a nationality, not an ethnic group.
The policy you're referring to is the "bumiputera" (son of the soil) policy which favored ethnic Malays over other groups (in practice working like affirmative action in the US).
Also UMNO (the ruling party at this time and for most of Malaysian history) never expressed desire to join Indonesia and the faction that wanted to join Indonesia was already ostricied at this point.
Did he confuse it with Malay Malaysia? I think that was the term Lee Kuan Yew used in his autobiography
Nah UMNO lost at last election already in 2018
Umno Back then was really Trying Hard Because The malaysia Economy,Only 2% Of Bumiputera own it and the rest are chinese and some westerners....
True. The formation of Malaya Raya ( Great Malaya) was discussed before Singapore, Sabah and Sarawak joined the Federation (west Malaysia had already gained independence back then). That proposal was scrapped and escalated into a Indonesian invasion of Malaysia.
In fact Malaya wanted to join Indonesia upon the end of wwii but Indonesia ditched them and declared independence without them

Lee Kuan Yew wanted Malaysia to practice the idea of “Malaysian Malaysia”, a notion that believes every Malaysian is equal to each other and no race is superior to another race. Note that Malaysian is nationality whereby Malay is ethnicity.
Parliament of Malaysia which was predominantly Malay at that time voted to kick Singapore out of Malaysia because they afraid their Malay privilege will be challenged.

"Reluctantly declared independence" has got to be one of the best combination of words I've heard
In Malaysia our government made up a different history from this and being taught in school.

I think you have the phrases "Malay" and "Malaysians" mixed up.
Malay = the race of people indigenous to the Malaysian region, who predominantly practice Islam.
Malaysia = the name of the country / federation that was established.
Malaysians = anyone who is a citizen of Malaysia, whether they are racially Malay, Chinese, Indian, Caucasian, Vietnamese, etc, and regardless of language or religion.
Malaysian politicians back then were pushing for "A Malay Malaysia", to basically give special benefits to the indigenous Malay people.
Singaporean politicians on the other hand were pushing for "A MalaySIAN Malaysia", for equality amongst all Malaysians regardless of race, language or religion.
The Malaysian politicians felt threatened as the Singapore politicians were gaining tremendous support in their meritocratic ideals. In the end, they chose to excise the whole state of Singapore just to keep their power.
The division on religious oines was largely underplayed in the video
Tell me more, aren't theyre mainly Muslim?
Antoine DC Okay, This Is coming from a Malaysian Chinese. So basically, the Malays didn’t like the Chinese and Indians in Malaysia and in the year 1969, mass riots broke out called the May 13 Riots which many Malays killed Chinese and Indians. This also happened in Indonesia where it was much worse but China sent down a large battleship to tell them to piss off. I think the reason why the Malays killed the Chinese was because from the late 1940s until the mid 1960s there was a communist uprising led by Chin Peng (Malaysian Chinese) called the MPAJA (Malaysian People’s Anti-Japanese Army) which was formed during WW2 when the Japanese occupied Malaya but when the Japanese left, the MPAJA had nothing to do anymore so the British forced them to disband and buried their rifles. The MPAJA resisted and thus, Malayan Emergency (or civil war). Later, when Malaysia was made, the Indonesians hated it and declared war (Malaysian-Indonesian Confrontation) and Britain and friends came to help us. God, I typed a lot. It’s 3:28 AM.
