Invasion of Singapore
The last time Singapore was cut off from Malaysia for an extended period of time was World War 2.
The last Allied military troops crossed the Johore Straits and withdrew to Singapore via the Causeway on January 31 1942, after losing the Malayan mainland to the Japanese.
Allied military engineers then proceeded to blow up the Causeway in an attempt to slow down the Japanese troops’ advance to Singapore. However, the Japanese repaired the damage and crossed the Causeway into Singapore on 9 February 1942
