Holding just 39 seats after two by-election defeats and two defections to the opposition, PAP expelled 13 of their Assemblymen in an open political battle between two factions and was left hanging onto a one-seat majority of 26 to 25. When PAP's Ho Puay Choo joined Barisan Socialis, it brought PAP 25 to 26 against opposition. Former PAP Assemblyman SV Lingam switched back, and PAP was back with its one-seat majority. Five days later, PAP Minister Ahmad bin Ibrahim passed away to leave a 25 to 25 stand-off in the House. PAP called for general elections and on 21 September 1963
it won 37 out of the 51 seats. |
