Singapore, officially the Republic of Singapore, is a city-state in Southeast Asia.

History

Li Guangyao of the People's Action Party won Singapore's elections in 1959. In 1963, he began suppressing the Malayan Communist Party and trade union leaders. He banned the leftist Singapore Association of Trade Unions and promoted the National Trades Union Congress. The NTUC began establishing cooperatives in the 1970s, and the powers of trade unions were limited in 1982.[1]
