1954 National Service riots
1954 civil unrest in Singapore
In December 1953, the British colonial government in Singapore passed the National Service Ordinance, requiring all male British subjects and Federal citizens between the ages of 18–20 to register for part-time National Service. This requirement was enacted on 1 Mar 1954 and the deadline for registration was on 12 May 1954 and those who failed to register would be either jailed or fined.
