Question 45 • PMHS Health Q2

Why did Singapore secede from Malaysia?

Answer

A

Its primarily Chinese population was facing threats and conflict from the Malay majority of the country.

B

It felt that the Malaysian government was not doing enough to preserve Chinese history and culture in the country.

C

Communist rebels in Malaysia were continuously trying to force Chinese citizens to relocate to China.

D

Chinese citizens in Malaysia did not approve of the way Malaysia won independence from France.

Explanation

Singapore’s Chinese-majority population and Malaysia’s Malay-majority population were divided by ethnic and political tensions. Riots and conflict between the communities contributed to Singapore’s separation from Malaysia in 1965. Choice A best describes this tension; the other choices give reasons that were not the main cause.
