勞工陣線
The Lim Yew Hock government did not fare any better. Apart from the threat of the underground communist movement, Singapore were facing problems in public order, a poor economy, poor housing and sanitation, low living standards and corruption in the government which were being neglected by the colonial British government. Later, the majority of the Labour Front led by Lim Yew Hock, left the Labour Front to merge with the Liberal Socialists (formed by the Progressive Party and Democratic Party in 1956) to form the Singapore People's Alliance (SPA) in 1959.
