You are right man. Correct me if I am wrong - seems
Singapore is the only country in the world that only disclose the
official date for election at a time very close to election.
It is due to LKY. He will use any dirty method to win and secure
power.
In a conversation with Selkirk, on 28 July 1961, at time of the
formation of the Barisan Sosialis, Moore reported Lee Kuan Yew's
tactics in the following terms:
He went on to suggest that in order to avoid the Communists
taking over, he
would create a situation in which the UK Commissioner would be
forced to suspend the Constitution. This might be
done either by the Singapore Government inviting a Russian trade
mission to Singapore thus forcing a constitutional crisis,
or by
instigating riots and
disorder, requiring the intervention of British
troops. I did, however, form the impression that he
was quite certain
he would lose a general election and was seriously toying with the
thought of forcing British intervention in order to prevent his
political enemies from forming a government (CO
1030/1149, p. 95, para 3).
