Four years of my life since 1956 have been spent in Singapore and Malaysia and the main research for this book was done in two periods, 1966-72 and 1981-83. were originally published in 1973 as Riot and Revolution in Singapore and Malaysia 1945-1963 the period of turmoil from which both countries emerged with strong and stable democratic governments and economies set on a course of growth.

In 1981, Mrs Choo Campbell of Graham Brash invited me to update that book and add a about how things worked out after the years of crisis: about the 1964 and 1969 riots, Confrontation and, above all, the remarkable political, social and economic development of the two countries, which has exceeded anything which they or their greatest friends could have hoped when they looked at the prospects in the 1960s.

Graham Brash invited me to visit both countries again in 1982 to refresh my own memory and to see and talk to people in Singapore and Malaysia. I had some 40 interviews as such and talked to countless other people, giving me a vivid basis of reality on which to interpret the mass of documentary evidence I have consulted. (Can there be any country better documented than Singapore?).
