“It was said that Singapore was unwilling to contribute to the Federation. This is not true. We agreed to a fair share — 40% of our revenue — but only if we could also enjoy the benefits of the common market. Yet, while Malaysia wanted our money, they still kept tariffs against our goods. It was unfair for Singapore to pay more while being denied the trade opportunities we were promised.”

“The real trouble came when the PAP began to take part in Malaysian politics. Their campaign of a ‘Malaysian Malaysia’ challenged the special position of the Malays. This caused great tension with UMNO and stirred up feelings among the races. I could not allow such quarrels to threaten the stability of the Federation.”

“Every Singaporean must now start looking at Singapore as our homeland. We are going to have a multiracial nation in Singapore. We will set an example. This is not a Malay nation, not a Chinese nation, not an Indian nation. Everyone will have his place, equal: language, culture, religion.”

Lee Kuan Yew made this speech to persuade the Singaporeans that everyone is equal and Singapore is their home and no one will be left out. "Singaporean must now start looking at our homeland." this tells us that Singaporeans are treat Singapore as their home. " We are going to have a multiracial nation in Singapore." and "everyone will have his place, equal: language, culture, religion" This tells us every Singaporean is welcomed and will not be treated differently because of race or religion.

Lee Kuan Yew made this radio broadcast to persuade the citizens that Singapore will be a interracial country so that Singaporeans would be united as one. The evidence is "everyone will have his place, equal: language, culture, religion". This means that everyone in the nation will be equal regardless of race.

The difference between Source B and Source C is that Source B involved Malaysia going through a political conflict, while Source C stated that Malaysia wanted to take up Singapore's money and kept putting tariffs on Singapore's goods.

The 2 sources differ in what they see as the main cause if conflict between Singapore and Malaysia. Source B mentions that the real problem was political as the PAP campaign challenged Malay special rights and caused racial tensions. Whereas, in source C argues that Singapore was treated unfairly in economic matters as it had contributed to 40% of the revenue but was still denied the benefits of the common market. This shows that Source B blames singapores political interference while A blames malaysias economic policies. Hence the difference is the conflict mainly being about economic unfairness and political issues.

Lee Kuan Yew made this radio broadcast, is to inform everyone that Singapore is a multiracial nation. And that Singaporeans should have a national identity. They should not be racist and treat every race equally. The evidence ''Everyone will have this place.'' shows that Lee Kuan Yew want a multiracially accepting nation. Hence Lee Kuan Yew made the radio broadcast.

in source B it said '' the real trouble came when the PAP began to take part in Malaysian politics." what they are implying is that Singapore made Malaysia go into trouble within the Malaysian politics. however in source C " while Malaysia wanted our money, they still kept tariffs against our goods. it was unfair for Singapore to pay more while being denied the trade Oppurtunites we were promised." they are limiting the amount of goods going into Singapore.

The purpose of Lee Kuan Yew's speech is to inform people and let them know that everyone is equal in this country and that there is no discrimination. The quote "We are going to have a multiracial nation in Singapore" tells people that from that point onwards, he ensured that everyone would receive equality in Singapore.

Lee Kuan Yew made radio broadcast to inform Singaporeans that everyone is equal regardless of race and religion. By this, he wanted Singapore to be peaceful country without race and religion riots and problem, and he wanted others to respect each other's race and religion. This is evident in "we are going to have a multicultural nation in Singapore" and "everyone will have his place, equal: language, culture, religion" which tells us that Lee Kuan Yew wanted a country that can function without any problems regarding race or religion

Source B mentioned Political problems as the PAP campaign challenged the Malays special rights and caused racial tension " Their campaign of a 'Malaysian Malaysia' challenged the special position of the Malays" and " I could not allow such quarrels to threaten the stability of the federation" While in Source C, they argues that "It was said that Singapore was unwilling to contribute to the Federation. This is not true. We agreed to a fair share -40%of our revenue-but only if we could also enjoy the benefits of the common market." This shows that Source B blames Singapore political inference while C blames Malaysia economic policy's.

the difference between source b and c is that Malaysia and Singapore are involved in an political conflict in source b and in source be they are in an economical conflict

Madi

Source B and Source C are different in terms of seeing the main cause of conflict. Source B states that PAP was the main issues why the Federation was unstable. This is evident in "This caused great tension with UMNO and stirred up feelings among the races." This shows that PAP's participation, in the eyes of Tunku PAP was seen as a disruption towards racial harmony. On the contrary, Source C states that although they have a common market Malaysia still adding tariffs against Singapore's goods was the main cause of conflict. This is evident in "We agreed to a fair share — 40% of our revenue — but only if we could also enjoy the benefits of the common market. Yet, while Malaysia wanted our money, they still kept tariffs against our goods." This shows that source C blames Malaysia for adding tariffs and feel that it is unfair to Singapore.

lee kuan yew made this speech to inform citizens that everyone will be treated equally regardless of race,language,or religion as seen in "everyone will have his place equal:language,culture,religion'', so that the country will be peaceful, without racism

The difference between source B and C is that Source B is mainly about political impact while Source C is about economic impact. In source B it states "the real trouble came when PAP began to take part in Malaysian politics" this means that Tunku views Singapore negatively, saying that Singapore will cause trouble. Whereas source C states that'' it was unfair to Singapore to pay more while being denied the trade opportunities we were promised. '' This source shows that Malaysia was limiting their trade, but Singapore was willing to pay to Malaysia. Hence, both sources have different views on Singapore and Malaysia.

Source b and c are different in the main cause of conflicts. Source b blames Singapore (PAP) for interfering in malaysian politics by promoting “Malaysian Malaysia” which he saw as a threat to Malay's rights.

However, source c defends Singapore, saying Singapore was willing to contribute financially (40% of revenue) but was treated unfairly because Malaysia still kept tariffs against Singapore’s goods. He blames Malaysia for being unfair.

Source B and C was different in the reasons of their conflicts.In source B,''I could not allow such quarrels to threaten the stability of the Federation'' this tells us that Tunku viewed Singapore negatively, saying that Singapore will cause trouble and stir feelings among the races. While Source B state that"it was unfair for Singapore to pay more while being denied trade opportunities we were promised.''this tells us that Lee kuan Yew was worried for Singapores economy, and we felt that it was unfair .

Lee Kuan Yew wanted people to look at Singapore as their homeland and a multiracial nation. "This is not a Malay nation, not a Chinese nation, not an Indian nation." This shows that Lee Kuan Yew wanted equality in our homeland where everyone can have their places in Singapore.
