.. It is generally agreed that the Separation was a political separation arising from the incompatibility of the political views of the Alliance-controlled central government and the state government of Singapore, the PAP.
Political conflicts
(Ref 1)
Differences arose in regard to national goals
The PAP advocated social revolution. Merger of Singapore and Malaysia would bring about economic progress as well as political stability, economic modernization, and even social modernization,
The Alliance (UMNO, MCA and MIC) was content with social evolution. Its was more concerned with stability, security and predictability. (more conservative)
Both the 1963 and 1964 elections provided opportunities for bitter rivalry between the Malayan and Singapore political parties.
The PAP decided to enter the election, and started campaigning in Singapore and Malaysia, attempting to gain a political hold throughout Malaysia. This led to more political disputes and friction between the federal and Singapore governments.
However, the Malays were not prepared to lose their political supremacy. Hence measures had to be taken to prevent Singapore from gaining ground in the Malaysian political scene. -- E,g Singapore was only given 15 out of 159 seats on the federal parliament, when, on population basis, it would have qualified for about 25.

The danger of widespread communal violence was apparently the chief reason whty the Tengku took action.(2) The separation solved the immediate problem of preventing violence and bloodshed. It also solved the causes of violence.(2)
Points to take note
leaders of Singapore did not desire the separation.
The members of the tengkus inner-cabinet endorsed the break decision before it was made public
It is clear that the words and actions of the Malay "ultras" in the tengku's own United Malays National Organization (UMNO), the dominant party in the ruling Alliance, help to produce the environment in which the Tengku felt the break decision was nesscary
On the 15th of February in 1942 one of the biggest defeats of the British Empire was accomplished by the Japanese, Singapore was surrendered. The Fall of Singapore was relatively destructive to the relationship between Britain and Australia. Australia relied on Britain holding Singapore as it was the last defence against the Japanese and it was feared that Japan would go on and invade Australia if it fell, Australia openly showed that they could not rely on the British for defence by becoming a strong ally with America and asking them to help with the feared Japanese invasion. Australia feared the threat of invasion constantly throughout the war, when Singapore fell the Australian government predicted a certain attack by the Japanese.

Meanwhile, the PPP, was experiencing further turbulence and withdrawal from its own ranks at the leadership and mid-leadership levels. Others have traced unrest to the internal ‘authoritarian’ nature of the PPP. The Weekend Post noted that the Rice Producers Association, the Maha Sabha, the Guyana Council of Indian Organizations(GCIO) and the Islamic Anjuman, all of whom the PPP relied for its ethnic support base were increasingly alarmed with the party’s Marxist trajectory and were “trying to free themselves from the communist PPP.” This assertion was justified in the prevalence of public dissension in the ranks, not all of which was ideological.
Panem as a whole has some very basic deep root expectations of its citizens, all of which are very similar to totalitarian dictatorships and set it apart from present day America.

Malaysia is located in the south-eastern Asia, bordering Thailand and northern one-third of the island of Borneo, bordering Indonesia, Brunei, and the South China Sea, south of Vietnam. Due to its locations, it has been colonised since the late 18th centuries by many countries. Since 1965, Malaysia has had one of the best economic records in Asia, with GDP average of 6.5% growth for almost 50 years. The economical development especially boosted during 1981 and 2003 under the governance of Prime Minister Mahathir bin Mohamad. Malaysia succeeded in diversifying its economy from dependence on exports of raw materials to expansion in manufacturing, services, and tourism.

In Malaysia, the United Malay National Organization (UMNO) became the dominant political force beginning in 1959. UMNO created an agreement with MCA (Malayan Chinese Association) and MIC (Malayan Indian Congress) together they formed the Barisan Nasional (National Front or BN) and since 1974 it has been the senior partner in a governing coalition. Since its formation as an independent state in 1963, Malaysia has never experienced a change in government. UMNO’s positions are attractive because they are important in Malaysia’s political and business life. Because UMNO leader has always served as Malaysia’s de facto prime minister, the party’s internal election is seen as the country’s real election. UMNO’s party apparatus often reflects the state’s apparatus, a fact that makes UMNO’s election even more alike with the country’s election.
