The Chinese in Indonesia are hated by all Indonesians - by the Islamists as "kafirs", by the nationalists as "collaborators of the colonialists", by the rightists as "communists" and even by the communists as "capitalists" - the overseas Chinese are overrepresented in the economy of countries...

The goal of this feasibility check for this "East Indies Federation" is as follows: Have a state in the East Indies that is as big as possible. Easiest would be Malaysia + Singapore + Indonesia. Papua, maybe; Philippines seem a bit hard. Have this state be led by an "LKY-style government", that...

What would happen if the Japanese failed to capture Singapore and the Dutch East Indies during ww2. Let’s say before Pearl Harbour naval assets are transferred to Asia and more troops start arriving in the area (mainly Indians and Australians). The defence is also beefed up with more artillery...

My story will be about whether Britain could have held Malaya/Singapore in 1941-42. There are or have been some storylines that flirt with the question, or paint it with a broad stroke, against a background of a much bigger picture. But I want to write in more detail about how things could have...

Singapore was once part of Malaysia, but was expelled in 1964. There are several reasons behind this, including differences between the local government in Singapore and the central government in Kuala Lumpur; a bit of postcolonial/Cold War proxy politics; and ethnic, religious, and cultural...

Basically, as mentioned in the title, the Democratic Republic of the Congo gets a dictator with similar principles and philosophy (as well as ability) as Singaporean PM Lee Kuan Yew. How does the Congo develop as opposed to OTL? Is there any chance of a developed African Nation?

Singapore, the Vatican, we need more city states! Where did we go wrong that prevented this from being the case? Let me know what scenarios you think could have led to the creation / survival of more city states. These can be realistic and/or creative, I just want more city states.

So this POD is that No. 453 Squadron RAAF with its 16 Buffaloes possibly assisted by No. 488 Squadron RNZAF manages to provide a rotating CAP over Force Z as it attempted to retire to Singapore on Dec 10 1941. The presence of Fighter planes - impacts the ability of the IJN Bombers to...

What happens in Malaysian politics? How is Singapore affected? Malaya? Sarawak and Sabah? Any butterflies elsewhere?

Just flown back from my holiday in the Crown Colony of Singapore, it was great but also really weird to be using British currency and reading British newspapers in a city on the other side of the world from the home islands. Of course, the UK almost lost it during the Malayan Campaign of 1942...

Say that he gets shot by some trigger happy Kempeitai officer, killed early by a Japanese bomb or simply starved to death during a food shortage. Whatever the cause, Lee dies in wartime before he has a chance to make an impact on history. What would Singapore have looked like without his strict...

What if Singapore encompassed more than Singapore Island itself and a few outlying islands, but also included the following islands in this order; Batam, Bintan, Bulan, Rempang, Galang and Sugi. This thread has two if not more possible directions; What would Singapore be like today if all or...
