-Feelings of people who went through independence-
Citizen
They felt disappointed . As many was worried about lost of job and trade deals because Singapore does not have natural resources . Also whether Singapore is able to survive on it own without the help Malaysia.
Politician
Many politician like Mr Lee Kuen Yew was disappointed as they had put in a lot effort on the merger of both countries . After lots of hard work ,time and effort put into the merger and it lasted less than 2 years.
My opinion
The citizen felt that was because they were doubting about Singapore's ability to survive on its own. The politician felt that way as all their hard work had put into waste and they did not want to separate .
