| | History of Singapore - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Raffles' founding of Singapore was based on rather shaky legal grounds, and the Dutch government soon issued bitter protests to the British government, arguing that their sphere of influence had been violated. | | | Three of the seats were won by a newly-formed conservative party, the Singapore Progressive Party (SPP), whose leaders were disinclined to press for self-rule. | | | As a result of the government's hands-off attitude and the predominantly male, transient, and uneducated nature of the population, the society of Singapore was rather lawless and chaotic. |

| | SINGAPORE, A History of the Lion City |
| | Wary of exceeding his authority (and incurring the possible anger of his superior, the Sultan of Johore), the Temenggong claimed that he did not have the power to sign a treaty with the British. | | | Raffles had recorded and accumulated a vast store of information on the islands of the Malay archipelago: according to Raffles the collection filled one hundred and twenty-two cases. | | | As recorded by Munshi Abdullah, there were hundreds of such skulls, "some old, some new, some with hair still sticking to them." It was discovered that these were the remains of sailors and merchants who had been killed by pirates. |

| | Abroad, Singapore has taken a more active role in regional affairs, mainly through the Association of South East Nations (ASEAN), the former anti-Communist bloc which is now adopting a more wide-ranging role in diplomatic, economic and – since the Bali bomb attacks – security affairs. | | | This accounts in part for the high level of Singapore’s re-export trade, which accounts for almost half of all trade. | | | In the last few years there has been some pressure, to which the Government has responded in part, for a relaxation of Singapore’s numerous laws which have given it a reputation as a prosperous but rather antiseptic and pettily repressive city-state. |

| | Economic History of Singapore |
| | Singapore, under the leadership of Lee Kuan Yew, sought to bring in foreign industry. | | | Singapore could not hope to compete upon the basis of the cheapness of its labor; it had to create technical skills that are unavailable elsewhere in the Third World. | | | The higher wages were a discouragement to foreign companies considering Singapore relative to other locations, but probably the most serious effect was the signal that Singapore might be like other Third World governments that would encourage investment and then change the rules when companies were vulnerable. |
