race riots of 1964 ?
The 1964 Race Riots were a series of riots that took place in Singapore during two separate periods in July and September between Chinese and Malay groups. The first incident occurred on 21 july during a Malay procession that marked Muhammad's birthday. The riots are also known as the Prophet Muhammad Birthday Riots, 1964 Racial Riots, and 1964 Sino-Malay Riots. At that time, Singapore was a state in the Federation of Malaysia.All these had happened due to disobeying rules and racists. Having Singapore in a state of chaos , curfews were out to prevent more race riots from happening as well as to stop more tradegys and many death of the innocents.
