Why isn't Singapore a Part of Malaysia? 

Hearing both sides, I'm definitely on Singapore's side.

2:52 Germany is Dutch now?

Whatever it's a blessing in disguise

Every state of Malaysia, there is a Capital or Ibu Kota in Bahasa e.g. the Royal Capital of the State of Pahang is Kuantan. So, Pahang is one of the 14 states of Malaysia no need to mention of her capital. Likewise, Singapore being the capital of the Royal State of Johore Bahru(JB) needs not to be mentioned but the Royal Flag is in Singapore of His Majesty, Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar.."Daulat Tuan!"

dutch = Germany????

Excellent video, thank you!

@4:13 "and then overpowered under-strength British forces to take Singapore". There were 85,000 British troops (or troops under Gen Percival) in Singapore. It was the Japanese with only 35,000 soldiers who were actually outnumbered. And as British forces were driven into retreat down peninsula Malaya to take refuge in Singapore, there may actually have been more than 85,000 british troops in Singapore by the time the Japanese forces reached the northern shores of Singapore. There were many reasons for the fall of Singapore. The British being "under-strength" or being outnumbered by superior Japanese forces was NOT one of the reason. But if you are British, you may prefer to be comforted by the idea that "under-strength" British forces were overwhelmed by numerically superior Japanese forces.

Correction 💁 3:08 The Anglo-Dutch treaty 1824 divide British Malaya (Peninsula Malaysia) and The Dutch East Indies (Indonesian Sumatera island) not British Malaya and The Northern Borneo territory.

Once Sarawak and Sabah leave the Malaysian Federation, Malaysia's apartheid racial Islamic policy of bumiputrasiam will collapse.

Difficult to even contemplate that in the long term, the two countries would remerge. One is basically Malay,the other Chinese and the two are entirely of different worlds.

During that time Malaysia(peninsular) only needs natural resoources like sabah n sarawak..

Im malaysian and idk why malaysia kicked out singapore

God is Great, Singapore is not in Malaysia.

Lee k y....a very smart leader who seemed to smell......fishy business ahead for which it was the decision that Singaporean should appreciate.

Why?

If Penang Island alone was a state, she would've been expelled too...now Penang is has the 2nd highest GDP in Malaysia anyway. That says something. Now, Penang is unscrupulously and terribly developed, with buildings go up faster than roads and public transport revamp. Cars choke the roads without control whatsoever.

Kenapa Brunei tak hendak serta Malaysia.

0:08 lol 5 hours actually

Even a 7-year old kid knows the simple answer. Singapore was expelled from the Malaysian Federation in 1965 to become a separate political entity.

Nah, just as before.... Race is the reason why a merge will never happen.

At least LKY successfully implemented a multi-racial country. If a malay and chinese quarrel in singapore, they wont ask them to return to malaysia or china. But if this were to happen in Malaysia, the malay will ask the chinese to go back to china. 😂

THERE WAS NO MALAYSIA BEFORE,, THAT IS WHY YOU CAN SEPARATE YOURSELF AND IF MALAYSIAN CAN NOT SEE ANY NATURAL RESOURCES OF YOUR LAND THEY WILL NOT PUT INTEREST BECAUSE BEING SMALL COUNTRY,, UNLIKE SABAH PHILIPPINES THEY DON'T WANT TO GIVE BACK. TO PHILIPPINES AFTER CONTRACT OF MALAYSIA 100 YRS UNTIL 20015.

Hush the last part of video.. No merger.. Look at Sabah, a predominantly Christian state but Mahathir issue ICs to migrant that are Muslim from Philippines and Indonesia. The indegenious Sabahan became Miniority in their own land. Lost the birthright to speak. Sabah now the poorest state in Malaysia. From a country become a state when join Malaysia. Pathetic. Singapore at all cost should not join Malaysia. Malaysia after all this years have not move forward but still embroil in Race and Religion. Look at mess of the socks that wrongly send to the supplier of KK Mart with Allah wording. After few times public apology to Malaysian for failing to see the socks. Molotov was thrown unto KK mart store. Till today no arrest was made. But Chinese just cracked a joke was swiftly sentence to 6 months jail and fine RM12 thousand. Malay leaders spoke hate speeches are left untouched. As an ex Malaysian and now an Australian at all cost don't join.. Singapore will be destroyed.

And Malaysia isn't proserperpus or multicultural? Come on mate. 😅

geo politics changing since couple thousand years ago..dont arrogant,when WW3 broke,singapore the first target because it became 2nd israel..use your brain

This video is totally redundant. Maybe ask yourself, what if Singapore is and was a part of Malaysia. Don't know about you, but many will have nightmares and it is something that history has shown to be a "Thank God it did not happen". So I have to give you a 👎 for useful content.

In 1819 the British imperial bought the island of Singapore or Temasek from the Temenggung Johor, for 60,000 Spanish dollars.It became common practice when European powers ended their conquest of their subjugated territories after the second world war that the territories were returned to their original countries. In other words, Singapore should be returned to Johor, one of the Malay states.When the British colonized Singapore, many Chinese and Indians were admitted as permanent residents. Eventually almost the entire island of Singapore was occupied and owned by the Chinese.The British colonial administration recognized that Singapore was part of Malaya. As mentioned above, when the British conquest ended, the territories colonized by them were handed back to the country of origin.That is the intention of the British and that is also the will of Malaysia. Therefore when the colonization ended, Singapore became part of Malaya again,Unfortunately,the Chinese population of Singapore caused political problems in the newly established country of Malaysia.They do not agree with the terms of Malaysia's independence, which is the privilege for the original inhabitants of Malaya,namely the Malays. They demand equal rights with the Malays.Faced with this problem, the independent Malaysian government decided to separate Singapore from Malaysia and recognize Singapore as an independent country.With that another part of Malaya disappeared. All the loss of land in Malaya happened without any protest by the Malays or their kings.

Learn!than you can understand!!!not to give your point of view..talk rubbish!!!

The question remains "Where have all the Chinese Communists of Malaya gone to?"

Singapore is a tiny 'district part' of the Malay(Bugis) Johore. There are other Johorean districts like Batu Pahat, Segamat, Muar, Kota Tinggi.. etc etc etc. So, when Johore is part of Malaysia there is no need to mention her other districts e.g. Singapore which comes under control by the Central Malaysian Government in Kuala Lumpur(Dewan Rakyat). So, Singapore is not 'a country but a city' of Johore Bahru. After all, it began with Sultan, Sir Abu Bakar in Singapore to these days of the Johore Sultanate where Hari Raya open-house in Istana Besar recently..Daulat Tuanku!

It's a deceit n renegades to separate from a Malaysia federaton.D art of colonial.Authority belongs to Malays only.

i'll answer this question and why singapore is rich because of shipping...period

Definitely Singapore is part of Malaysia.This Tanah Malayu
