Very Interesting. According to LKY, Operation Cold Store has to be carried out because of the marriage between Malaya and Singapore, there is a general consensus between Tunku Abdul Rahman(malaya PM) and the British High commissioner that should the communists in both Malaya and Singapore join forces, it will be a big threat to the existing government in both states. Therefore, LKY accepted because his main motive was to push for the merger, the rest becomes history.
The first election in Singapore was held in 1955 and David Marshall became the first Chief Minister of Singapore under his leading Socialist Front . Lee Kuan Yew was one of the leader in Socialist Front too .

@@ruiyingan849 But adopting 北京话 as the Singaporean Chinese's 'Mother Tongue' is super awkward lor; most people's mother tongue is actually Hokkien/Cantonese/Hakka/Teochew. Learning that 北京话 is merely for economic reason, so Singaporeans can do business with China and make some PRC dollars.
