Background Merely a month before Singapore s separation from Malaysia and independence, United People s Party 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 Malaysian general election, 1964 federal elections of 1964 . After Singapore was ejected from the Federation, PAP s only Malaysian legislator, Devan Nair , converted the party s extension into the Peninsular to the Democratic Action Party replacing the thunderflash in the PAP s symbol with a rocket but he quit Malaysia politics and returned to Singapore a few years later. DAP remains a key political party in Malaysia until today and is part of the Pakatan Rakyat coalition in Malaysia. Historical Significance This was the last Legislative Assembly election which oversees the straight fight between the 2 major political parties in Singapore, namely the People s Action Party and Barisan Sosialis . Both parties have decided to field former PAP Assembly Members as the candidates of this seat. The following year in 1966, BS would withdraw all members from parliament and boycott the next election of 1968. Election Deposit The election deposit was set at 500.

Politics of Singapore General elections were held in Singapore on 19 April 1968, the first after independence from Malaysia .

However, the elections were boycotted by the opposition, the Barisan Sosialis and several other opposition parties except Workers Party of Singapore Workers Party . Voter turnout was 91.8 , although this figure represents the turnout in the only seven constituencies to be contested, ref Nohlen, D, Grotz, F & Hartmann, C 2001 Elections in Asia A data handbook, Volume II , p254 ISBN 0199249598 ref namely Farrer Park, Geylang Serai, Jalan Kayu, Kampong Ubi, Moulmein, Nee Soon SMC Nee Soon and Tanjong Pagar SMC Tanjong Pagar with PAP candidates earning walkovers in the other 51. Background Following the resignations of 11 Barisan Sosialis MPs and exodus of two BS MPs from Singapore to escape the Internal Security Department, the Parliament was left with only PAP MPs. BS boycotted the elections on the grounds that Singapore s independence was phoney and several opposition parties heeded its call. The chiefs of PKMS former UMNO , Ahmad Haji Taff, and SCP former MCA , Chng Boon Eng, turned up but did not file their nominations. Due to this, three precedents were set the least number of seats contested in a general election, the first time PAP was returned to power on nomination day and the first time it won all seats. Henceforth, walkovers became a perpetual feature in every succeeding GE.
