QI Q95 Ne? Q -lie 7 N. Sa. L. A part of the State of johore, Singapore in 1819 was ceded to the British East India Company through the efforts of T. Stamford Raffles. Under Raffles' liberal rule, the extensive Slave trade uas suppressed and Singapore developed into one of the great ports of Asia. It was made a part of the Straits Settlements, with Malacca and Penang, in 1826. Its commerical and strategic development continued unabatedf it was a British naval base before World War II. Occupied by the japanese from 1942 to 1945, Singapore in 1946 was made a crown colony with the Christmas and Cocos - Keeling Islands. It was separated from those islands and made a self-governing state within the commonwealth of Nations in 1959. In August 1963, Singapore joined the Feder- ation of Malaysia, but tensions greu. between her Socialist Chinese leaders and the conservative Malay-dominated Federation Government. In August 1965 Malaya forced Singapore's withdrawal from the Federation. Today, under the leadership of Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew, Singapore is trying to make the grade as Asia's newest nation. At first glance Singapore appears healthy enough. Sports cars snap along its well ordered streets, and its ships overflow with goods from all over the world. Government built high-rise apartments are rapidly replacing the sweating tenements of the city's grimy past, and Singapore's per capita income of S531 is the highest in Asia except for japan. But in spite of her apparent prosperity Singapore is struggling for survival. Prosperity depends on industry, which was deprived of its primary market when Singapore withdrew from the Malaysian Federation: and unemployment is now up to 1575. To keep the economy going Prime Minister Lee has been scouring the world for markets and initiating broad incentive programs in an effort to attract foreign industry to Singapore. He has also been keeping a firm hand on local unions by refusing to authorize wage increases unless productivity is also raised. His efforts thus far have been successful. He has drummed up a multi-million dollar export business with Thai- land, Cambodia, Palestine, and South Vietnam, has expanded an already flourishing business with the Communist world, and is negotiating with Indonesia's post-Sukarno government for contracts that would re-establish Singapore as the main processor of Indonesian rubber. Aside from the economic difficulties, Singapore must begin to create a national spirit for itself. To this end Prime Minister Lee has launched his Rugged Society Campaign to meld Singapore's polyglot population lI.5 million Chinese, 300,000 Malays, 175,000 Indians! into a single cohesive nation. The key to his program is the National Service, or draft. In addition to basic military training, the city's youth will get a stiff dose of enforced togetherness. They will live in integrated quarters, eat at integrated tables and be required to learn at least one language besides their own. Lee'5 theory is that only if he can get his people to stand together in support of their new nation will the society be healthy enough to make the new Singapore a successful entity. 1 R! h'l 'l '?l. rmr ' ...'
