Produktbeschreibung

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Singapore Alliance Party, or sometimes known as just Singapore Alliance, was a coalition of political parties that contested several elections in Singapore, notably the 1955 Elections of Singapore and the 1963 Elections of Singapore that was heavily backed by the local chapter of the United Malays National Organisation, and also consists of the Singapore Malay Union and a local chapter of the Malayan Chinese Association. Its campaign policy during the 1963 elections was similar to what the UMNO used in federal elections in Malaysia, and alleged the ruling People's Action Party mistreated the Malays, one of the major races in Singapore. Its participation in the elections further contributed to the then ongoing feud between UMNO and the PAP as they had earlier agreed neither side would participate in each other's elections until Malaysia, which Singapore was then an autonomous state of, was more mature.
