But why?
While it has previously been taken as historical common knowledge that Singapore had been expelled from Malaysia unilaterally by the Kuala Lumpur Government, recently declassified documents from the Albatross File (taken from a 1980s interview where Goh referred to Merger with Malaysia as an "Albatross around [their] necks"), revealed that as early as July 1964, negotiations had begun between the PAP and the Alliance. In a handwritten letter, Lee Kuan Yew formally authorised Goh Keng Swee to negotiate with Alliance leadership in order to negotiate and plan the eventual exit of Singapore from the Federation, and over the next year, the two parties coordinated to arrange matters such that when the Tunku announced Singapore's expulsion and the PAP were "forced" to establish an independent government, it would be presented as a "fait accompli" that could not be jeopardised by popular uproar or opposition, which was still in favour of Merger. Having already reaped the political benefits of Operation Coldstore, the crippling of the Singaporean Left, the detention of key Barisan Sosialis leaders like Lim Chin Siong, Lee and Goh both believed that this move would afford Singapore with the "best of both worlds", both isolated from the communal turmoil which they believed would inevitably engulf Malaysia while retaining the economic benefits of access to the Malaysian markets.
Nostrmo is suprisingly cool
the map produced as part of ICJ exhibit
the State of #Palestine opens the public hearings in the advisory proceedings on the Legal Consequences arising from the Policies and Practices of Israel in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, before the #ICJ
UN experts confirmed Palestinian women and girls in Israeli detention face sexual assault, including strip searches by male soldiers. Some were raped, others threatened with sexual violence.
"There is no dispute as to the right of self-determination of the Palestinian people. It has never been in issue, not since the time of the Mandate. This Court made that clear, two decades ago in the Wall Opinion: it said, loud and clear, “the existence of a ‘Palestinian people’ is no longer in issue. The issue before the Court is the ability to exercise that right, and Israel’s systematic and prolonged violation of it. What does the right to self-determination mean? How has Israel violated it? What are the consequences of those violations?”
"“Israel has clearly violated the territorial integrity of Palestine, through over half a century of belligerent occupation. It has purportedly annexed Jerusalem and the West Bank, and established hundreds of settlements populated by more than 700,000 settlers, regarded as a permanent part of Israel. It has extended the Wall the Court found to be illegal, in 2004. It has confined Palestinians to enclaves. It has severed Jerusalem, it has severely restricted Palestinian rights of entry from the rest of the OPT. It has transformed the Gaza Strip into an impoverished enclave, a strangled, besieged, bombarded community, isolated and severed from the West Bank and East Jerusalem. Its leaders have declared that Israel will be sovereign over all the land between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, and made this formal government policy.”
I should write again
i want to learn lots of thing but everything needs 💲💲💲
which is why, as I told my wife, the barrier to certified knowledge is not merely the brain capabilities, but of financial strength as well
still CIR & ABIME are legally on par
between ABIME & CIR, ABIME is more commonly used in Malaysia.
