This article is written in Singaporean English, which has its own spelling conventions (colour, realise, centre, analyse) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus. |
Starting from 1959
@Chipmunkdavis
Starting from as recent as 1959 is doing a disservice to Singapore's indigenous historical figures and history leading back to Temasek, Kingdom of Singapura, and the like. These are still critical and pivotal points in history towards the contemporary era, and ignoring them only serves to bolster the pro-government/PAP stance that Singapore was a "fishing village" just a few decades ago and that they "saved" the country. Not to be political but it can't be forgotten that groupthink is rife in Singapore with freedom of the press severely restricted – it's extremely easy to rewrite history.
And I don't think this is in anyway unique to Singapore, I was inspired by Algeria and Cambodia, also post-colonial states, which means it does not necessarily have to mean only after the establishment of sovereignty. MordukhovichAleakin (talk) 11:46, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
- The infobox is not a history section. It is a note of when a country achieved its sovereignty status, and the infobox field heading that section is literally "| sovereignty_type". Other articles often do it wrong, they should be fixed, not their problems exported here. CMD (talk) 11:50, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
- I would just like to point out to MordukhovichAleakin that you have to use {{reply to|Username}} to ping someone. Using @ alone does not work. Seloloving (talk) 13:15, 23 April 2022 (UTC)

Something's wrong with the calculation of ethnic groups. It adds up to 100.1%, extra 0.1%. 62.0% + 9.2% + 28.9%. 126.15.251.1 (talk) 17:21, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
- Note: That's a rounding error and common when adding up deaggregated data EvergreenFir (talk) 17:23, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
