No, it isn't. Singapore is an independent state, and has been since 1967. Prior to 1967, Singapore was a part of Malaysia, which gained its independence from the British in 1957.

The "untouchables", due to them owning our cash, are Japan, South Korea, China, Hong Kong, India, Singapore, and Saudi Arabia.  The rest of the world is pretty much put on the list as "useful puppets" or "bugs not yet squished" (guess which list Britain is on).

The Brits kept Hong Kong as theirs to watch over China (strategic location to bomb china if need be, as was their thought process after ww II) But as per the treaty they signed with China, it was handed over in 1997. And now it is a Chinese territory, but runs on its own steam with a state govt. etc.

No. I have not heard. It may be in Singapore as You are saying. I can check it in search engine, whether it is in Singapore. But I will not check, because it does not appeal me to check.

No.  China also believed they owned Tibet.  The communists failed to capture Taiwan, tough luck.

Malaysia is NOT better without Singapore, but Singapore IS better without Malaysia.\nMalaysia had a chance to become a better country in the early '60s, when Lee Kuan Yew and the PAP were rallying the minorities of Malaysia to stand up and be counted.  But then, what did the Tunku do but tell S'pore that it had to go its own way...\nNow look at the two countries.  Everyone in S'pore, no matter what their race, stands equal before the law, has an equal chance for success, and lives in prosperity.  Malaysia has rampant poverty, and still to this day discriminates in favor of the Malay majority while marginalizing minority groups.  These are not characteristics of a civilized nation.\nSo, ask yourself: Who is better without whom?\n...but then again, I'm just an ignorant foreigner...right?

No, it is not.  It is its own country.  Though way back in the day Australia served as a penal colony to the UK.  Just like Guam was to the Philippines.  (Sorry my Asian brethren, just telling it like it is.)
