PM Wong is still not born.When this happening in 1962. The Option A, which provided for the highest level of autonomy with special status, was the option selected on nearly 96% of valid ballots. 26% of voters cast blank or invalid ballots – mostly the former – meaning that Option A was selected by 71% of those who participated in the referendum, or by 64% of registered voters.

The high number of blank votes are due to an attempted boycott by the Barisan Sosialis (Socialist Front) as there was no option that rejected integration entirely.

With results of referendum, the states of Malaya, Singapore as well as the crown colonies of North Borneo and Sarawak merged to form Federation of Malaysia.

The union would prove tenuous due to various factors, and would end up lasting for just one year (1), ten (10) months and 24 days before Singapore ultimately became a fully sovereign country...

SINGAPORE: Major banks in S'pore will phase out use of one-time passwords (OTPs) for bank account logins by customers who are digital token users. This will be implemented progressively over the next three months and is aimed at better protecting customers against phishing scams, said the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and the Association of Banks in Singapore (ABS) on Tuesday (Jul 9).

The move will not affect customers using physical tokens. Major banks include the three Singapore banks – DBS, OCBC and UOB. "The digital token will authenticate customers’ login without the need for an OTP that scammers can steal or trick customers into disclosing," said MAS and ABS.
Customers who have not activated their digital tokens are strongly encouraged to do so, they added.

DBS stopped issuing physical tokens in February 2021 Customers may request replacement tokens. OCBC & UOB customers similarly replace their physical tokens, but banks recommend switching to digital tokens. OTPs were introduced in 2000s. a multi-factor authentication option to strengthen online security. Tongue

How did China go from a poor society, devastated by World WarII & its own civil war by mid-20th century, to number two (2) economy today? After decades of economic stagnation setbacks under Communist rule, China began to open itself to international trade & liberalize economy when it established diplomatic & trade relations with U.S. in 1979.
