    Singapore isn’t a “city-state” in Malaysia, it was booted out of Malaysia to fulfill the comprador Malay feudal classes interests here in Malaysia,

    I know nothing about this subject. Is it sort of like what happened with Hong Kong and/or Macau?

        Thank you!

        If reunification has become less popular, is there a general cause of this that wouldn’t require you writing out a treatise for the sake of an offhand question?

            Makes perfect sense, thank you. I would have had no problem with an explanation of any length (and the forum might be interested in you making a post on this topic at some point) but I respect your time and patience.

                I come from a family of academics, and there’s a word of advice that I remember hearing said to others since I was a kid “If you want to write a thesis, you will always feel that you have not done enough research. Eventually, you need to actually write despite that feeling.” Perhaps you could include the books you haven’t read as a little “further reading” section.

      Post Independence from Britain Singapore wanted to federate with Malaysia but Malaysia kicked them out because they didn’t want a city full of Chinese and also because they were afraid of Lee Kuan Yew.
