James Puthucheary, who was in charge of PAP
publicity for the elections recalled the first rally held in a
remote Chinese village.
“Toh Chin Chye
spoke first, in English! No response from the
crowd. Ong Eng Guan was next, in Hokkien,
but not very good. The crowd was restless. Then, Chin Siong stood up. He
was brilliant and the crowd was
spellbound.”

Poulgrain claims it was actually Singapore's then Chief
Minister, Lim Yew Hock, who had
deliberately "provoked" the bus and other industrial workers and
Chinese middle students to riot in 1956 in order to have Lim Chin
Siong arrested.
Lim Yew Hock's own admission to responsibility for the riot appears
in an official report to the British Government which Poulgrain
found in the Colonial Office records in London which are now open
to researchers.
"Lee Kuan Yew was secretly a party
with Lim Yew Hock," adds Poulgrain, "in
urging the Colonial Secretary to impose the subversives ban in making it
illegal for former political detainees to stand for
election."
