Why did Singapore favor a merger with Malaysia?
- 1 answer
Singapore favour for merger with Malaysia because for common market and for independence.
- The PAP felt that Singapore's survival as an independent nation would be difficult.
- Singapore lacked natural resources.
- Entrepot trade was declining.
- Growing population which required more jobs.
- The Malayan government introduced import and export tariffs on goods which led further decline in Singapore's trade.
- PAP government felt that a merger with Malaya would bring about rapid economic growth especially with the setting up of common market.
- The common market would allow goods to be bought and sold freely without being taxed.
- This would increase trade, expand industries and create more jobs.
- The PAP saw that Singapore's best hope for complete freedom was through a merger with Malaya.
- There were some areas like defense and internal security that were still under British control.
- The British were reluctant to grant full independence to Singapore because they were worried about the communist threat in Singapore.
- Moreover, When the PAP was formed in 1954, it included moderates and radicals.
Singapore lacked natural resources and faced a declining trade amount. More jobs were needed to meet the demands of the population. The Malayan government imposed import and export tariffs on goods traded between the 2 countries. Singapore also faced Communist threat and that made the British not grant full independence to Singapore. Singapore hence felt that by merging with Malaya, the British would grant Singapore full independence and Malaya would share natural resources and jobs. Trade amounts might also go back up and the tariffs could be removed.

How much does a typical female social escort earn in Singapore?
- 1 answer
Based on our experience operating a social escort agency in Singapore (SecretEscorts), we have had women from all walks of life - from university undergraduates, corporate executives, models to air stewardesses. In average, these female social escort earns from $500 to a $3000 per day.
However earnings vary from person to person, depending on each individual's charm, personality and commitment level. Some social escorts maintain their day job and provide part-time social escort services to supplement their income. It is generally a high paying job hence it is uncommon to see many leave their day job eventually to provide full time social escort services. Having a good relationship with a serious and established escort agency ensures that you meet the right clients which in turn gives you more confidence with your job.
