I saw your message but wasnt able to respond immediately because its been an incredibly busy few days for me Yes I will add a bit more of the history My understanding is that Singapores independence from Britain and simultaneous merger with Malaysia did not really change the Cabinet system apart from the British High Commissioner to Singapore relinquishing his executive powers of course The Singapore Cabinet remained the government of the State of Singapore which was now one of the states in a larger federation On Singapore leaving the federation the Cabinet became the government of the independent republic Do you think its necessary to mention this much detail  Cheers
