Not many people know that Singapore willingly sold Christmas Island to Australia for 2.8million

[syed putra]

It does not matter as the island belongs to the Malays in spirit. The blood that gushes from it is type M.

Xmas Island was administratively placed under colonial Singapore and the 'sale' to AU was the right move at the time, considering the development of SG then. Based on its location, it is a liability to maintain. Everything must be shipped in.

It would be a nice island to host all the lunatics from Yishun and one from Jurong East.

Lee Kuan Yew once said that Singapore would become a metropolis. If what he said is true, then Singapore should not have given away the island. Instead, Singapore could have just leased the island to Australia for 50 years

that island full of jiak liao bees who is depending on Aussie government on handouts.
anyways geographically its located beyond indon, administrating it will be a nightmare. Indon is in between us and Xmas island.

what textbook neve say was Johor temenggong was duped to sell Singapore to Raffles. maybe he was sodomised and threatened with blackmail.

Christmas Island is a real island, 1/5 the size of SG, not like those fake islands in the South China Sea.

A lot of Malays and Chinese there and great seafood!

 

[blackmore]

I just don’t understand why this issue is not mentioned in moe history text book

Same as those who died defending Sinkapour , whether locals or foreigner. They are not recognised as part of our Singapore history. Every year Memorial Day, they send NCC cadets as representation while other Commonwealth Countries sent soliders and veterans So Christmas Island is another boo boo which the PAP wants to keep under.

Lim Yew Hock didn't have foresight or analytical mind and politically weak at that point in time.
