李光耀已计划好為新加坡引退。此計划当他还在英国与 EW Baker 一起学习法律时，就开始了,还有其他一些新加坡人也和他在一起。在他的回忆录中，他确实提到了其对新加坡如何获得自由和独立的想法。
对我来说，李光耀知道英国人希望马来西亚成立但不会让新加坡独立。大卫·马歇尔与他一起率队前往英国要求独立，但未获准。大卫马歇尔信守诺言，如果他未能说服英国给予独立，就辞去新加坡总理职务。马歇尔很有信心，因为他是东姑派往英国寻求马来亚独立的团队的顾问。如果我能记得我读过的话，那时候马歇尔是吉打州的一名律师。
新加坡未获独立后，李光耀执行 B 计划
他来到这里并与东姑一起出售马来西亚计划。他们成功了。在我看来，李光耀描绘了一幅画面，说马来西亚对新加坡来说是正确的举动，但在他的内心深处，他想要独立。当时在新加坡存在共产主义威胁，如果马来西亚成立，李光耀也感到安全。
马来西亚成立后，他所倡议的马来西亚人之马来西亚议程造成了严重破坏，致使东姑落入其陷阱。
在一篇文章中，我读到新加坡方面所说的这是一场和平政变；他们成功地让新加坡脱离联邦并宣布独立。
李光耀在东姑向马来西亚议会提交新加坡退出提案之前就宣布新加坡独立了。
在李光耀的指示下，EW Baker 匆忙提出分离法案。从我读到的，李光耀 似乎非常渴望离开马来西亚。
EW Baker 是当时的新加坡总檢長。为什么是新加坡起草并提出了分离法案，而不是马来亚？
因此，无论出于何种目的，李光耀都按计划行事并打好他的牌。他当时是喜極而泣，並不是因新加坡退出他所表达的遗憾而流泪。
在他的独立宣言演讲中，他谈到了自决权。如果这不是他离开马来西亚的策略，为什么李光耀要谈论自决？如果新加坡被踢出局，他可以在演讲中这么说，但他没有。
虽然新加坡退出是双方达成的协议，但我的看法不同。这是李光耀的政治操弄手段，不是通过相互退出而是通过单方面宣布独立（UDI）退出。分离协议仅供展示之用。
所以，读政客的思想时我们需要看字里含意因為他们一般不会直言不諱。在任何情况下，这都是真正的政变和打东姑脸的耳光。

*SINGAPORE INDEPENDENCE-A COUP DE TAT?*
LKY planned Singapore Exit well. It started when he was still in UK studying law with EW Baker. A few other Singaporeans were with him and in his memoire he did mention of his thoughts on how Singapore need to be set free and independent.
To me, LKY knew British wanted Malaysia formed and would not allow Singapore gained independent. David Marshall together with him led a team to UK to ask independence but was not granted. David Marshall kept his words, resigned as Singapore CM if he failed to persuade UK to grant independence. Marshall was confident because he was the counsel in Tunku's team to UK to seek Malaya Independence. At that time Marshall was a lawyer in Kedah if I could recall what I read
Lee Kuan Yew executed planned B after Singapore was not granted independence
He came here and sold Malaysia Plan with Tunku. They succeeded. To my thinking, LKY painted a picture that Malaysia was the right move for Singapore but deep in his heart he wanted independence. At that time there was a communist threat in Singapore and LKY also feel safe if Malaysia was formed.
After Malaysia was formed he then created havoc by his Malaysian Malaysia agenda and Tunku fell into the trap.
In an article I read Singapore side said it was a peaceful coup de tat and they succeeded to get Singapore out of the federation and declared independent.
LKY declared Singapore independent before Tunku tabled Singapore Exit in Malaysia Parliament.
The Separation Bill was rushed into by EW Baker, as directed by LKY. From what I read it seems that LKY was very eager to leave Malaysia.
EW Baker was the Singapore AG at that time. Why it was Singapore that drafted and presented the Separation Bill, not Malaya?
Therefore, for all purposes LKY could have planned and played his card well. His tears was tears of joy not of regret as expressed by him when Singapore exited.
In his Declaration of Independence speech he was talking of the right of self-determination. Why was LKY talking about self-determination if this was not his strategies to get out of Malaysia? If Singapore was kicked out he could in his speech said so but he didn’t.
Although it was a mutual agreement for Singapore to exit but I look it differently. It was a political maneuvering by LKY for exit not by mutual exit but by unilateral declaration of independence (UDI). The Separation Agreement was only for presentational purpose only.
Therefore, reading a politician's thought, politicians normally don't talk straight and we need to read between the lines. In all circumstances, it was truly a coup and a slap on the face of Tunku.
