Then Prime Minister of Malaya Tunku Abdul Rahman was initially resistant to the idea of Singapore joining Malaysia. He was concerned that the large Chinese community in Singapore would displace the Malays as the majority in the federation. There was also the threat that Malaya would be similarly engulfed by the communist subversion and radical left-wing movements that were causing political instability in Singapore and Borneo territories. Ultimately, almost 700,000 Borneo natives were brought into the federation to prevent a Chinese majority after merger with Singapore. | [Federation of Malaysia] -- Proposal of merger -- Opposition to merger -- Radio talks on the merger by Lee Kuan Yew -- 1962 Referendum -- Operation Coldstore -- Konfrontasi -- 1964 election -- Political and economic differences -- Separation -- The birth of Singapore -- References. | Singapore--History--1963-1965 | 1955-1965 Road to independence {18455347}|Politics and Government {18336134}|Political development {18486587}|Political events {18544984} | eng | NLB Collections>>Singapore Collection>>Singapore Infopedia | Article {18335714} | NA | The information on this page and any images that appear here may be used for private research and study purposes only.

Two revamped versions of the WEC scheme were subsequently introduced, namely the Off-Peak Car (OPC) Scheme from 1 October 1994 and the Revised Off-Peak Car (ROPC) Scheme from 25 January 2010. These schemes offered new and existing car owners the option to save on car registration related fees and road taxes, in return for using their cars during restricted hours – mostly on weekends, public holidays and at night. Cars registered under the schemes are differentiated by red licence plates with white lettering. | [The Weekend Car Scheme] -- Objectives and rules of the WEC Scheme -- The off-peak car (OPC) scheme -- The revised off-peak car (ROPC) scheme -- Weekend/off-peak car statistics -- References. | Automobiles--Licenses--Singapore|Traffic engineering--Singapore | National campaigns {18338181} | eng | NLB Collections>>Singapore Collection>>Singapore Infopedia {10126} | Article {18335714} | NA | The information on this page and any images that appear here may be used for private research and study purposes only.
