Singapore became independent on 9th August 1965. When Singapore achieved internal independence, they join the now Malaysia to form Malaya, which was a united country in the Malay Archipelago. However, as one of the states in Malaya, Singapore had a lot of ideas to propose to the Malaya government and the then Malaya government thought that Singapore was going over her role and taking up too much leadership, being too bossy. Quarrels occured among Singapore and the other states of Malaya. The Malays in the other states tried to convince the Malays in Singapore to rebel but they were surprised because the local Malays of Singapore were reluctant to do so. After much disagreement, Singapore drew out of Malaya and became independent on 9th August 1965. Singapore then was left helpless with no military support and absolutely no Natural Resources. It was really a miracle for Singapore to come this far. Of course, credit must also go their forefathers and the leaders of the country then.
