I think it is worth it for the people of Singapore ti struggle to achieve internal self-government in the period of 1945 - 1959. Although there was death and casualties during the riot, there was peace after that. David Marshall resigned his post as the first Chief Minister when he failed to gain internal self-government. The British government did not think he got the leadership to lead the peopl of Singapore as he did not do anything during the riots.

After Singapore struggle to achieve internal self-government in the period of 1945-1959, she gained independence in the year of 1965. There was two major riots during that period of 1945-1959. They are the Hock Lee Bus Riot and the Students' Riots.There were 4 people killed and 31 injured for the Hock Lee Bus Riot and 13 people died and more than 100 injured for the Students' Riot. After a few days, the two riots were under control.

In conclusion, I think that Singapore Singapore struggle to achieve internal self-government in the period 1945-1959 is worth it as Singapore gained internal self-government from the British government through the actions of the leaders of Singapore during that time to control internal threats.
