Explanation: To answer this question, we can use our knowledge about the political history of Malaysia and Singapore after gaining independence. We know that both countries had one dominant political party that consistently won elections and held power. In Malaysia, the United Malays National Organization (UMNO) was the ruling party, while in Singapore, it was the People's Action Party (PAP).
