S204_SBQ_Malaya's point of view: From the source, why did Malaya want to merge with Singapore? by Huang Pei Shan https://padlet.com/huang_pei_shan/tdh4i35ia3gk This is an SBQ Practice for S204 to infer on why Malaya wanted to merge with Singapore. Provenance: Prime Minister of Malaya, Tengku Abdul Rahman at a news conference in 1961 en-us 2016-09-16 01:28:36 UTC 2016-09-18 00:58:35 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Hearts.png lu_pei_han https://padlet.com/huang_pei_shan/tdh4i35ia3gk/wish/124238084 From the source, I can infer that Malaya could have a better and stronger economy with the merger with Singapore
With the merger, Malayan products would be able to reach the global stage as Singapore is one of the biggest ports that would be able to export Malaya's goods.
Malaya would also have a greater sales and turnover as Singapore would also need to surrender part of its own profit to Malaya.
The evidence from the source to support this is " Malaysia, through the merger stood to gain increased revenue through taxation of Singapore and it was agreed that Singapore would have to five 40% of its annual revenue to Malaysia, thus it would boost its economy greatly. Furthermore, Singapore would also act as an avenue where Malaysian products can be brought to an international level when they export their goods."
Therefore, Malaya would gain economical growth from the merger.]]> 2016-09-16 01:39:57 UTC https://padlet.com/huang_pei_shan/tdh4i35ia3gk/wish/124238084 muhd_amirul_jum https://padlet.com/huang_pei_shan/tdh4i35ia3gk/wish/124238176 From the source, I can infer that Malaya wanted to merge with Singapore to ensure that Malaysia did not fall prey to communism. 

This is supported by, " Thirdly, Malaya through the merger had stood to gain a better chance to ensuring its stability & protection against communists such that they would be able to ensure that they would be safer from communists and through the merger, they would be able to quickly remove a strong communist neighbour and convert them to be capitalist. "

By merging Malaya & Singapore, Malaya would be able to ensure less communist influence from Singapore since Malaya would be able to step in if Singapore ever decided to embrace the ideology of communism. This being said, Malaya could instead t]]> 2016-09-16 01:41:11 UTC https://padlet.com/huang_pei_shan/tdh4i35ia3gk/wish/124238176 Isa https://padlet.com/huang_pei_shan/tdh4i35ia3gk/wish/124238232 From the source, I can infer that Malaya wanted to merge with Singapore in order to gain benefits economically. This is supported by, 'Firstly, Malaysia, through the merger stood to gain increased revenue through the taxation of Singapore and it was agreed that Singapore would have to give 40% of its annual revenue to Malaysia, thus it would boost its economy greatly.' From this evidence, Malaya would gain an additional revenue from the earnings of Singapore. Hence, whatever that Singapore earns would be part of what Malaya receives. Another evidence is, 'Furthermore, Singapore would also act as an avenue where Malaysian products can be brought to an international level when they export their goods.' From this evidence, Malaya would be able to export to their goods to more countries which means that there would be more customers for Malaya to sell their items. Hence, Malaya would be able to sell more items which in turn receives more profit.

From the source, I can also infer that Malaya would also ensure a higher stability and protection against the communists. This is supported by, 'Thirdly, Malaya through the merger had also stood to gain a better chance to ensuring its stability and protection against communists such that they would be able ensure that they would be safer from communists and through the merger, they would be able to quickly remove a strong communist neighbor and convert them to be capitalist.' From this evidence, Malaya is able to defeat a threat, which is communism, as Malaya supports capitalism but the communist people would rebel against Malaya. Hence, Malaya would be able to convert the communist people in Singapore to capitalist through this merger.

The evidence is " Firstly, Malaysia through the merger to gain increased revenue through the taxation of Singapore and it was agreed that Singapore would have to give 40% of its annual revenue to Malaysia, thus it would boost its economy greatly. "
When Malaya provided Singapore with resources to begin industrialisation, more goods can be sold and when more goods are sold, Malaya can gain greatly by collecting the revenue and taxes of the goods sold. Also, Singapore was a good trading port which allowed Malaya to trade its products to other countries, gaining more money through selling its products. Therefore, Malaya would greatly improve in economy.

From the source I can also infer that Malaya will gain a stronger protection against the communist. 
The evidence from the source is "Thirdly, Malaya through the merger had also stood to gain a better chance to ensuring its stability and protection against communists". 
By merging with Singapore, it eliminates the possibility of Singapore turning communists, reducing the chances of Malaya being invaded by communist power. It also influences the idea of capitalist in Singapore. Thus, Malaya would be safer from communist power through the merger.

The author of the source is a historian. The audience would be Malaysians and the general public. The aim of the source is to tell the audiences about the benefits of merging with Singapore. The anticipated reaction is that people will feel convince about the benefits of the merger and feel confident about the merger. The action is that the people will support and vote for the merger. ]]> 2016-09-16 01:42:58 UTC https://padlet.com/huang_pei_shan/tdh4i35ia3gk/wish/124238290 Why did Malaya want to merge with Singapore? ting_ming_jie_n https://padlet.com/huang_pei_shan/tdh4i35ia3gk/wish/124238342 From the source, I can infer that Malaya wanted to merge with Singapore as it would benefit her. Malaya would benefit financially with increased revenue, as supported by "Malaysia, through the merger stood to gain increased revenue through the taxation of Singapore and it was agreed that Singapore would have to give 40% of its annual revenue to Malaysia." From the merger, Malaya would also control more land and territory, gaining resources to develop herself economically, as supported by "Malaya through the merger also stood to gain its territorial land as Sabah and Sarawak would be included under the territory of Malaysia" and "Furthermore, there are also valuable natural resources in Sabah and Sarawak." Lastly, Malaya wanted to ensure stability as a nation against communists to ensure safety, as supported by "Malaya through the merger had also stood to gain a better chance to ensuring its stability and protection against communists." Thus, from the source, I can conclude that Malaya wanted to merge to benefit in terms of economy and safety.]]> 2016-09-16 01:43:38 UTC https://padlet.com/huang_pei_shan/tdh4i35ia3gk/wish/124238342 From the source, why did Malaya want to merge with Singapore?

from the source, i can also infer that malaya merged with singapore to lower the chances of communism significantly to take over. this is supported by "Malaya through the merger had also stood to gain a better chance to ensuring its stability and protection against communists such that they would be able to ensure that they would be safer from communists and through the merger, they would be able to quickly remove a strong communist neighbour and convert them to be capitalist.". this gets rid of a very big threat to malaya and therefore gaining stability with turning singapore into a capitalist state.

The evidence is " Singapore would have to give 40% of its annual revenue to Malaysia, thus it would boost its economy greatly," and "Singapore would act as avenue where Malysian products can be bought at an international level when they export their goods."

Hence, i can infer that it was due to a promise of economic boost that Malaya chose the merger.

The evidence is ”Furthermore, there are also valuable natural resources in Sabah and Sarawak which they would be able to control after the merger, therefore it would again help to develop Malaya economically”

The states of Sabah and Sarawak would be able to provide Malaya with valuable resources such as oil and natural gases. These resources would fundamentally help to develop the industrial regions of Malaya as they would be able to obtain such valuable natural resources without needing to export them from other countries in the world. Thus, Malaya would be able to gain the valuable Bornean states of Sabah and Sarawak through the merger of Singapore with Malaya.

From the source, I can also infer that the merger of Singapore and Malaya from Malaya’s point of view would allow them to safeguard their country against the communists, ensuring stability in the country.

The evidence is “Thirdly, Malaya through the merger had also stood to gain a better chance to ensuring its stability and protection against the communists such that they would be able to ensure that they would be safer from communists and through merger, they would be able to quickly remove a strong communist neighbour and convert them to be capitalist.”

The merger of Malaya and Singapore would allow the uniting of the Malayan states and Singapore, this would increase the national unity of the states and thus being able to eliminate the threats from neighbouring communist states, converting them to capitalist and thus making the country safe.

The author of the article is Tunku Abdul Rahman. The audience are the people of Singapore and Malaya. The aim of the article is to convince the audience to support the merger of Singapore and Malaya.

This is supported by "Firstly, Malaysia, through the merger stood to gain increased revenue through the taxation of Singapore and it was agreed that Singapore would have to give 40% of its annual revenue to Malaysia, thus it would boost its economy greatly." By merging with Singapore, Malaya would gain economical benefits. Singapore would have to give part of their revenue to Malaya as part of the  merger. Singapore was also a channel for Malaya to promote their goods globally. Through the merger, Malaya would be able to grow economically. Therefore, Malaya wanted to merge with Singapore in order to benefit economically from the merger. 

From the source, I can also infer that Malaya wanted to merge with Singapore to gain a better security against communism. This is supported by "Thirdly, Malaya through the merger had also stood to gain a better chance to ensuring its stability and protection against communists such that they would be able to ensure that they would be safer from communists and through the merger, they would be able to quickly remove a strong communist neighbor and convert them to be capitalist." By merging with Singapore, Malaya had a better opportunity to eliminate communists from the country and transform the country into a capitalist state. Malaya had the resources and manpower to get rid of communists, thus eliminating communists from Singapore through the merger. With the eradication of communists would allow Malaya to turn their country into a capitalist state easily, ensuring that communism does not manifest itself in the country. Malaya would be able to get rid of a potential risk to the country, gaining positively through the merger. Therefore, Malaya merged with Singapore to benefit from a better balance with the eliminated risk of communism.

Thus this shows how Singapore could contribute to the economic growth when Malaya merges with Singapore. With increased revenue, there is economical growth.Thus Malaya wanted to merge with Singapore because of  economic growth.

The evidence that support my point is "Firstly, Malaysia through the merger to gain increased revenue through the taxation of Singapore and it was agreed that Singapore would have to give 40% of its annual revenue to Malaysia, thus it would boost its economy greatly".

The evidence tell us that Malaysia will receive profits from Singapore after the merger, allowing Malaysia to gain extra money. Goods from Malaysia can also be brought to an international level as Singapore would act as an avenue. These factors will help Malaysia grow their economy through the merger, therefore, Malaysia would definitely gain positively through the merger.

From the source, I can also infer that the merger can allow Malaysia to be safe from communist .

This is supported by " Malaya through the merger had also stood to gain a better chance to ensuring its stability and protection against communists such that they would be able ensure that they would be safer from communists and through the merger, they would be able to quickly remove a strong communist neighbour and convert them to be capitalist"

This tells us that Malaysia, through the merger, would be able to protect themselves from communist and also able to eliminate their strong communist neighbours quickly and allow them to embrace the idea of capitalism.This would allow them to attain protection and also stability, thus this factors will also allow them to gain from the merger.

The merger would allow Singapore to be free from the looming communist threat.
Malaya is a capitalist state and not a communist state, they would be able to prevent Singapore from falling into Communist. They would be able to control anything happening in Singapore to protect and prevent any threats of Communist.
The evidence from the source is " Thirdly, Malaya through the merger had also stood to gain a better chance to ensuring stability and protection against communists such that they would b able to ensure that they would be safer from communists through the merger, they would be able to quickly remove a strong communist neighbour and convert them to be capitalist."
