Malaya

The Federation Of Malaya was formed in 1948 from the British settlements of Penang and Malacca and the nine Malay states and replaced the Malayan Union.The Federation Of Malaysia was formed om 16 September 1963, which included the Federation Of Malaya, North Borneo(now Sabah), Sarawak and Singapore.

Discussion

I haven't gotten the chance to read the cited article by Mathew Jones, but the content seems clear - it seems he presents an analysis of the Operation as a measure by Malaya to purge left-wing elements in Singapore, who weren't necessarily Communist, in order to guarantee political stability. I'll try to get my hands on the article if I can. However, I think the section on "Were Lim Chin Siong and Barisan Communist?" should be deleted. First, I think it's clear in the article that Lim Chin Siong may not have been a Communist, or even a Communist-sympathizer, as the article merely states "left-wing." In order to improve the article, I would recommend removing the section on Lim Chin Siong and the Barisan Socialis and integrate the section about the "barter" deal with the background as a possible analytical reason behind the action. -18.243.7.30 (talk) 21:58, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Operation Pecah

Is anyone going to create a Wikipedia page on this topic?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.75.154.12 (talk) 06:21, 31 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"However, historians such as Kumar Ramakrishna disagree and assert that the communist threat was real. He argues that the absence of subversive communist activities is because they had adopted a clever strategy of working within the constitution to subvert Singapore to communism." How does one subvert within the constitution to communism?
