The monograph can be broadly divided into three main parts. Part I describes Singapore's international legal personality during its colonial period (1819-1963). Part II details the difficulties Singapore experienced in its attempt to free itself from colonial rule by becoming a constituent state of the Federation of Malaysia in 1963. Opposition to the formation of Malaysia from two of its largest neighbours - the Philippines and Indonesia - threatened to derail the formation of Southeast Asia's first and only federation and to deny Singapore its independence. The period discussed in this part runs from 1963 to 1965. Part III deals with the international law issues that Singapore faced after it became independent in 1965. A large portion of this monograph is devoted to discussing the various problems and issues Singapore confronted between 1965 and 1970." -- Book jacket.

Within days, the Japanese had massacred thousands of Chinese civilians, and taken prisoner more than 100,000 British, Australian and Indian soldiers. A resistance movement formed in Malaya's jungle-covered mountains, but the vast majority could do little other than resign themselves to life under Japanese rule. The Occupation would last three and a half years, until the return of the British in September 1945. How is this period remembered? And how have individuals, communities, and states shaped and reshaped memories in the postwar era? The book response to these questions, presenting answers that use the words of Chinese, Malays, Indians, Eurasians, British and Australians who personally experienced the war years. The authors guide readers through many forms of memory: from the soaring pillars of Singapore's Civilian War Memorial, to traditional Chinese cemeteries in Malaysia; and from families left bereft by Japanese massacres, to the young women who flocked to the Japanese-sponsored Indian National Army, dreaming of a march on Delhi. This volume provides a forum for previously marginalized and self-censored voices, using the stories they relate to reflect on the nature of conflict and memory. They also offer a deeper understanding of the searing transit from wartime occupation to post-war decolonization and the moulding of postcolonial states and identities.
