POST-WAR CONDITIONS
Joblessness – Poverty Shortage of food, water, electricity and
housing. Lived in slum conditions. Diseases – Overcrowding living conditions,
poor sanitation and lack of health services. British tried to solve the problems but some
of their efforts were inadequate.

HOW DID THE POST WAR CONDITIONS AFFECT RESPONSE OF LOCAL PEOPLE TO BRITISH RULE?
Difficult conditions caused workers (from port, factories, transport, business) to go on strikes and caused many work stoppages.
Strikes took place so often that many people remembered it as ‘The Year of Strikes’.
More than 300 strikes held by 70 000 workers in that year.
![Page 6: Chap 7 (final ppt)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062300/5584f2e4d8b42a30708b4e21/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Strikes became worse with the involvement of the Malayan Communist Party (MCP).
The Communists stirred up the people’s feelings against the British through the trade unions.
In 1947, the British government passed a law requiring all unions to register with the government to control trade unions.
The locals were angry that the British failed to protect Singapore after ruling Singapore for over 100 years.
Though reluctant, the British realized that they have to introduce gradual change.

INTRODUCTION
The riots in the 1950s showed that the locals were unpleased with the British.
To appease the locals, the British decided to transfer some political power to locals.
Sir George Rendel proposed that certain powers of the government be given to local leaders elected by the people.

EXECUTIVE
Executive branch of government is the part of government that has sole authority and responsibility for the daily administration of the state bureaucracy.
The division of power into separate branches of government is central to the idea of the separation of powers.
![Page 30: Chap 7 (final ppt)](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062300/5584f2e4d8b42a30708b4e21/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
LEGISLATIVE
In parliamentary systems of government, the legislature is formally supreme and appoints a member from its house as the prime minister which acts as the executive.
In a presidential system, according to the separation of powers doctrine, the legislature is considered an independent and coequal branch of government along with both the judiciary and the executive.
