1969 race riots of Singapore
The 1969 race riots of Singapore were one of the two riots encountered in post-independence Singapore. The seven days of communal riots of 1969, a result of the spillover of the 13 May Incident in Malaysia, resulted in a final toll of 4 dead and 80 wounded.〔Conceicao. "The 13th May 1969 (Kuala Lumpur) Disturbances", pp. 112—113〕 Singapore would not experience a major riot until 44 years later (2013 Little India Riots).
==History==
The precursor of the 1969 race riots can be traced to the 13 May Incident in Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya in Malaysia. It was triggered by the results of the General Election, which were marked by Sino-Malay riots unprecedented in Malaysian history — 196 people were killed and over 350 injured between 13 May and 31 July. The real figures could be much higher than officially revealed. The Malaysian government declared a state of emergency and suspended Parliament until 1971.〔
The disturbances had nothing to do with Singapore but there was an inexorable spillover of the communal violence in Malaysia into Singapore. The 1969 riots occurred not long after the earlier communal riots in 1964. It was said that the 1964 racial disturbances in Singapore contributed towards the eventual separation of Singapore from Malaysia on 9 August 1965. The hysteria that United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) itself generated over its desire to assert Malay dominance (''Ketuanan Melayu'') in Singapore had its effect in heightening the suspicion between Malay and Chinese in Singapore.〔
The dissatisfaction of the Malays over their social and economic condition and the fear that the Malays regarded as indigenous (''Bumiputra'') ownership would be lost, led to the 13 May disturbances.〔
