Is a sovereign island country and city-state in maritime Southeast Asia. A former British Colony, in 1963 Singapore merged with Malaya, Sarawak and North Borneo to form the independent country of Malaysia. The union was unstable due to distrust and ideological differences between the leaders of Singapore and of the federal government of Malaysia. These culminated in the decision by Malaysian Prime Minister Tunku Abdul Rahman to expel Singapore from the Federation, and on 9 August 1965, Singapore became independent.
