Hong Lim by-election, 1965
Merely a month before Singapore's separation from Malaysia and independence, UPP chief and sole Assembly Member Ong Eng Guan resigned his seat and retired from politics. This last Legislative Assembly election became a straight fight between Singapore's two main parties - the People's Action Party and Barisan Sosialis - and both fielded former PAP AMs as candidates. The PAP was by then a full national party with a presence in Malaysia despite winning only one seat out of 11 it contested in the federal elections of 1964.
