Chapter 8

Okay people one more chapter to go alrite.Its either you break it or make it.

Now if remember in chapter 7 Labour front won the most number of seats.One of the reasons was due to a charismatic leader,David Marshall.Okay lets learn about him as he was the first chief minister of Singapore

David Marshall(the files)
-Led the new Labour Front in 1954
-Became the first chief minister in April 1955
-Resigned from the post in June 1956
-Founded worker's party
-Died in 1995
(End of files)

What did Labour Front Government do to push for internal Self-Government?

Let's recall LF won 10 out 25 seats.If my is good that isnt the majority.What did they do?

-LF formed a coalition governemnt with the Alliance Party.

What did the British think of David Marshall:
-They considered him a figurehead.
-They did not treat David marshall proper respect

So in  nutshell, we can say Marshall was not favorable among the British and his government did not receive, full british .
