About 2 weeks ago, the Redditers discussed the 'CIA Documents Dump: Singapore 1940s to 1980s'.

"CIA just released 13 million declassified documents. I picked out some documents of interest in the 1940s-1980s (naturally some pages are redacted but it's worth a shot).

-CIA monitoring prominent Chinese figures in 1949 (due to Communist connections) eg. Aw Boon Haw, Tan Kah Kee

-CIA continued monitoring Chinese people of interest in 1950, including LKY and wife

-Multiple notes on Singapore's government in the 1950s due to Communist influence with detailed reports on post-war, pre-independence situation.

-A CIA spy got caught because he accidentally blew out the lights in a hotel here in 1960

-American concern of Soviet naval vessels docking at Sembawang in the 1970s when ASW destroyer Blestyashchiy visited Singapore in 1971. They did a report too of Soviet naval presence in Third World countries.

"Noted that our understanding it is GOS policy to discourage and restrict Soviet use of Singapore's facilities"

-CIA theorised a potential terrorist attack would happen on a radar installation on an offshore island, a ship of national shipping line or a Singapore airliner after the Laju Ferry Incident in 1974

-CIA's intelligence assessment of LKY in 1985

"Even in the best of circumstances, we believe Lee is unlikely to turn power over to the younger generation without retaining a watchdog role for himself. At Lee's behest, for example, the cabinet is drafting a constitutional amendment to make now honorary presidency an elective position with enhanced powers - which Lee intends to reserve for himself after the 1988 elections."

TL:DR it's mostly communist/race riots/LKY/economical related with lil bit of smuggling. I'm a history buff so this is some pretty cool trivia. Sorry if the formatting is messed up, it's my first post."

Mothership reported on the CIA’s declassified files about 5 days ago.
