hahaha...this lesson deserves a thread on its own....Kingrant said:Most Singaporeans don't know about this esoteric snippet in our history that Singapore first became independent on 31 August 1963. This is recorded by many reputable historians, writers and well-known academics, and even by the U.S. Library of Congress. Uniquely Singapore - the only country in the world with 3 independence events in its history: 31 August 1963, 16th September 1963 (part of M'sia), and 9th August 1965. Only the last is celebrated and well-publicised for obvious reasons.
it will be in posterity so that pple on planet earth will know this episode...
list of professional historians quoted in support are Edwin Lee and Joginder Singh Jessy (Gentlemen, pse clarify directly or through proxies if u have been maligned)
