On the 9th August 1965, Singapore - against the will of its people - made history. On this day over 55 years ago, Singapore was made independent without the consent of the population - the first and only country in history to do so.
Despite being unprepared, the Singaporean leadership managed to create the wealthiest countries in Southeast Asia, and one of the wealthiest in the world.
This is the story of how Singapore came to be.
