4. Post-War Conditions Joblessness – Poverty Shortage of food, water, electricity and housing. Lived in slum conditions. Diseases – Overcrowding living conditions, poor sanitation and lack of health services. British tried to solve the problems but some of their efforts were inadequate.
5. How did the post war conditions affect response of local people to British rule? Difficult conditions caused workers (from port, factories, transport, business) to go on strikes and caused many work stoppages. Strikes took place so often that many people remembered it as ‘The Year of Strikes’. More than 300 strikes held by 70 000 workers in that year.
6. Strikes became worse with the involvement of the Malayan Communist Party (MCP). The Communists stirred up the people’s feelings against the British through the trade unions. In 1947, the British government passed a law requiring all unions to register with the government to control trade unions. The locals were angry that the British failed to protect Singapore after ruling Singapore for over 100 years. Though reluctant, the British realized that they have to introduce gradual change.
