The City Council of Singapore, or the Municipal Council before 1951, was the administrative council of the City of Singapore responsible for the provision of water, electricity, gas, roads and bridges and street lighting.〔(Supreme Court: History )〕 It was abolished upon Singapore's expulsion from Malaysia in 1965. The first fully elected council was elected in 1957, followed with a by-election in 1958. Prior to 1957 franchise was limited and there were appointed members.
It signed the ''Tebrau and Scudai Rivers Water Agreement'' and the ''Johor River Water Agreement'' with the Johore State Government of Malaya in 1961 and 1962.〔() () ()〕
==History==
As a British colony, Singapore was conferred city status by a royal charter from King George VI in 1951, when Singapore was then a crown colony of the United Kingdom. The original Municipal Council was therefore renamed City Council, and the Municipal Building was renamed City Hall. In 1965, upon Singapore's expulsion from Malaysia, the Republic of Singapore Independence Act 1965 provided the following clause
that empowered the President to abolish the City Council and the Rural Board, with the powers of the local authorities assumed by the Government. The City Council of the City of Singapore and the Singapore Rural Board were abolished in 1965.
