Singapore's struggle to achieve internal self-government in the period 1945-1959 had its costs. Was it worth it? Give at least two reasons to support.

I think Singapore's struggle in achieving internal self-government in the period 1945-1959 is worth it. Here are some reasons to support my stand:

The British was not able to see the needs of the people of Singapore. This resulted in the many riots in the 1950s, for example the Hock Lee Bus Riot and the Anti-National Service Riot. The neglecting of the people's interest sparked off these riots. And because many people died in these riots, the people of Singapore was able to see that the British was not capable of handling Singapore more clearly.

The internal self-government allows Singapore leaders to adopt legal practice that is compatible with Singapore’s cultural, social and economic requirements. In this regard, the economic success of Singapore can be attributed, to the wisdom of its leadership, its use of laws and the legal system to build a new society and entrench its economic survival while ensuring that the legal system is attuned to the needs and demands of the international community.

Therefore, it is worth it to struggle for internal self-government. Furthermore, it proved that the people of Singapore are in a better position to lead Singapore as compared to the British.
