History of Singapore

Singapore's first parliamentary election as a sovereign and independent nation was held on April 19 1968, resulting in the People's Action Party winning all 58 seats up for election in the newly formed Parliament.

Prior to independence, in 1948, British subjects only had been allowed to vote for a 22-member Legislative Council for the first time, though only 6 seats were directly elected. It was not until 1955 that Singapore held its first full general election, with 25 (of 32) elected members of the Legislative Assembly.

However, most consider the 1959 election to be Singapore's true first general election. It was the first time in history that all Singaporeans could vote in all constituencies, not to mention the first election in which Singapore was a largely self-governing region.

PSA controls the port. This means imports and exports can be allowed or stopped by PSA if it is shipped. GDP, which is Gross Domestic Product, is commonly calculated by the expenditure method (from wikipedia):GDP = private consumption + gross investment + government spending + (exports − imports) If PSA control part of the imports and exports, he can choose to increase or decrease them. That will affect Singapore's GDP.

Singapore unilaterally declared independence from Britain in August 1963 before joining Malaysia the following month. Singapore then officially gained sovereignty on 9 August 1965 after leaving Malaysia. As such, Singapore is a sovereign nation and is not subject to British rule in the future.

You could hire a taxi (the more expensive but more comfortable option). You could also take the train from Changi Airport till Outram Park MRT station. Then change trains to the Purple line and take it from Outram Park all the way to Harbourfront MRT station. (take note: you will have to walk quite a bit to change trains, but is a covered link)

Having just returned from Singapore, I was anxious to find some tips on making this style coffee. I asked in a shop and was shown condensed milk. The milk is heated and combined with their "regular" coffee and mixed together - back and forth - from cup to cup - ensuring full mix and created a smoother frothy appearance. I'm just going to make one for my wife, if I figure out more tips, I'll post them as I couldn't find a darn thing online on this. Cheers
