Can anyone here give a more in depth explaination as to why singapore was kicked out?
I mean logically which country wants less landmass? I think all countries unless forced to would love to increase in landmass and accquire more land. Sg also has good location to enable entrepot trade.
From my own knowledge it was because the tengku wanted to kick out LKY and prevent him from gaining power in malaysia as LKY at that time actually stood a chance to become the PM of malaysia even though he's a chinese but he has very good malay. Actually this doesn't even sound likely as LKY would need to be bumi, LKY would at least have quite a high political standing.
