Held annually on 9 November, World Freedom Day commemorates the fall of the Berlin Wall nearing the end of the Cold War in 1989, a historic event that heralded a freer, fairer, and united Germany. Similarly, Singapore\u2019s decolonisation experience, which brought greater freedom and autonomy to its people, intersected with political and ideological forces unleashed by Cold War affairs and players. Associate Professor Joey Long (NUS Department of History), in his chapter, \u2018Bringing the International and Transnational back in: Singapore, Decolonisation, and the Cold War\u2019 (Singapore in Global History, <\/em>2011), outlines one such episode, where British strategic considerations during the Cold War contributed to the decolonisation process in Singapore.<\/p>\n

A\/P Long argues that British participation in the Southeast Asia Treaty Organisation (SEATO) \u2013 designed to thwart communist expansion into SEA amidst the Cold War \u2013 encouraged the British to incrementally grant Singapore self-governance in order to secure Britain\u2019s right to use Singapore as a military base. Such political concessions were made by the British so as to not incur the wrath of local nationalists, especially given anti-imperialism sentiments after the British attempt to seize the Suez Canal in 1956. A\/P Long also posits that that the timing of the Suez Crisis accompanied by Lim Yew Hock\u2019s anti-communist credentials were factors in explaining Lim\u2019s success in securing greater internal self-governance as compared to David Marshall.<\/p>\n

A\/P Long points out that Singapore\u2019s history is bound up with world history and has been shaped by global historical events. For instance, Britain\u2019s retreat from its Singaporean colony relates to circumstances of the Cold War and the demands of Singaporean politicians who were eager to taste new constitutional freedoms. A\/P Long\u2019s argument also shows that local politician Lim Yew Hock \u2013 in contrast to historical studies that depict him as a politically na\u00efve and one-dimensional character \u2013 was shrewd enough to leverage international trends for domestic gain.<\/p>\n
