Summary

[edit]

Rationale for use in Lim Chin Siong

[edit]

The image shows part of a promotional poster by the Singapore government on the referendum on merger in 1962. It is used to illustrate the three choices in the referendum (and how they all agree to merger - there isn't actually a choice against merger). This image was obtained from theonlinecitizen.com. It is used in the article on Lim Chin Siong to show why he was against the referendum and why he felt that the government had deliberately misrepresented the choices available to the people. The reader may not be able to understand the government's attempts to misrepresent the choices without viewing the ballot slip in the visual form.

Rationale for use in Lee Kuan Yew

[edit]

Lee Kuan Yew was instrumental in crafting the ballot on which no refusal was possible and ensuring that Option A was the most attractive by juxtaposing it with the Singapore flag. This document is essential in informing the reader on how he purposefully manipulated the vote to ensure the PAP would not be defeated in the referendum, and is just as important on Lee's article as it is on Lim's.
