Dispute - This was a labour riot. Workers rioted against poor working conditions set by bus companies. It is also recorded by many that the Hock Lee Bus riot was politically motivated against the pro-Brit government.
Parties who rioted - Bus workers, joined by Chinese school students against bus companies.
4. 1956 - Chinese Middle School Riots -
This is actually not just one riot, but a series of riots.
Dispute - Lim Yew Hock, Chief Minister, de-registered and banned two pro-communist organisations.
Parties who rioted - Chinese students against the pro-Brit govt of Singapore. The students gathered and assembled at Chung Cheng High School and Chinese High School.Poulgrain claims it was actually Singapore's then Chief Minister, Lim Yew Hock, who had deliberately "provoked" the bus and other industrial workers and Chinese middle students to riot in 1956 in order to have Lim Chin Siong arrested.
Lim Yew Hock's own admission to responsibility for the riot appears in an official report to the British Government which Poulgrain found in the Colonial Office records in London which are now open to researchers.
"Lee Kuan Yew was secretly a party with Lim Yew Hock," adds Poulgrain, "in urging the Colonial Secretary to impose the subversives ban in making it illegal for former political detainees to stand for election."

Actually I think the riots were instigated by the pro-british Lim Yew Hock to serve as a pretext to destroy the anti-colonial left wing movement led by Lim Chin Siong and others.
This left wing movement was the main political movement fighting british colonial rule and imperialism in Singapore.
But there was a traitor among them - Harry Lee Kuan Yew.
Whereas many English-educated Babas re-emphasised their allegiance to the British Empire and were afraid that full independence might harm their still privileged position, the vast majority of Chinese-educated Chinese were vehemently anti-colonial and anti-imperialist.

The lost history of Lee Kuan Yew
After his education in Britain, Lee Kuan Yew returned to Singapore in 1949 to practise as a lawyer in the law firm Laycock and Ong. He became the honorary legal adviser for several trade unions after being acquainted with their leaders (in 1951) and subsequently caught the public eye in February 1952, when the Postal Workers Union succeeded, with his guidance, in obtaining important concessions from the colonial government.
According to his memoirs and this website, Lee Kuan Yew then proceeded to form the PAP with the help of the communists. Yet these sources conveniently neglect to mention Lee Kuan Yew's involvement in the Singapore Progressive Party in the 1951 legislative elections. In fact, Lee acted as the election agent for his boss John Laycock, helping him to manage his campaign and canvass on his behalf. (See here and here for proof) He had thus entered into politics even before he became involved in the trade unions' dispute with the British. (Polling day for the 1951 legislative elections was on 10 April, we can assume that his political activities with the SPP started months before that)
If I may speculate, LKY joined the SPP initially to build up his political career there. However when the Rendel Constitution expanded the electoral rolls to include all local-born as voters, resulting in a significant increase in Chinese voters, LKY decided to jump ship and formed the PAP in 1954 because he saw that the SPP lacked the support of the Chinese working class. (So the next time LKY condemns politicians who change political parties, you know where he's coming from)
Yet the problem isn't solely that LKY jumped ship and didn't care to tell anyone about his great experience in his memoirs. The bigger problem lies in the fact that LKY supported the SPP despite the fact that it wasA) pro-British in both its policies and in its composition of members (mostly English-speaking upper class professionals)
B) unsupportive of achieving independence (it merely paid lip-service to the idea by declaring in October 1952, its objective of Singapore achieving independence through a Singapore-Malaya merger without setting a target date)
LKY's miraculous change of heart on these issues when he joined the PAP only demonstrates how the pursuit of power can sometimes make one very flexible about their beliefs. Unfortunately for us, this flexibility of LKY's did not extend to the area of political freedoms.http://us.asiancorrespondent.com/secret-blog/2009/09/is-lee-kuan-yew-more-interested-in.html

oops. My mistake.
This Harry Lee Kuan Yew has an extremely shady and dirty political background.
His dirty and tainted past must be made more widely known to Singaporeans.
The real generation that does not remember
Idealist says:
No lah, the older generation did not create a formula that worked for us.
This is the same propaganda which also claims we were a fishing village in the 50′s and 60′s.
Yeah I am from the older generation.
The REAL narrative has yet to be written on the 50′s and 60′s. And LKY has not earned the title Founding Father.
He does not seem to care if people dont percieve as a reconciling national figure who did not need knuckle dusters. He is the orginal hatchet man.
Revisionist historians will have a field day when he goes.
The younger generation or the facebook generation however have been a marvel. I hope they continue to question capitalist values which have created an elite class who dont seem to know or want to know whats going on with the masses. Continue to be irreverent, young people. Push us to the margins. Dont be scared. You can also cry….tears of genuine compassion are powerful. You are Spore’s hope. Speak up!!

Actually it is an well known secret that even currently America are the largest borrower from China and China 's loan surprisely came from chinese people saving (they didn't have cpf some more.) And the asian finanical crisis and recent economic downturn didn't really affect China much. Your can watch this show as a proof better than watch time reading Naruto the pang sai : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RHVoDVOcHk&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL
Let just said that Mr Lee is just "识时务者为俊�".Even US now thought of choose an guy called Jon Huntsman instead of Obama as an president candidate for 2012 just because he is more friendly to China and China might lend more $$$, you think you can ignore chinese language and become a country bumpkin that only know dialect which is only usefully in coffee shop, that is some "shallow" people decision.

Harry Lee Kuan Yew has no culture and has a weak identity, that's why he wants to cling on to alien cultures, alien concepts of his british colonial patrons.
The people in Singapore, whether they are dialect chinese, malays or tamils, all of them have strong cultures, strong identities, they don't need alien languages to function - unlike the cultureless Lee Kuan Yew.
He is like a parasite, without an alien culture to feed on, he becomes rootless, cultureless.
We are not like you lah, Lee Kuan Yew. We have culture, you have no culture.
How to compare?
Disaster for entire Singapore to come under the rule of a cultureless banana like Lee Kuan Yew.

Anything he does not like, does not serve his purpose, he destroys. Our dialect root is destroyed. He is so successful to brainwash Chinese that Mandarin is the mother tongue , I was silly to believe. I was awaken only when my friend said our root is our own dialects. He is doing a disservice to our ancestors, a real cruel bitch, LKY!

He is a fraud.
He never fought for independence of Singapore, he never fought against the british, he is not chinese, he is not a democrat. He is not a socialist.
He is the no.1 fraud in Singapore.
Singaporeans must wake up to his fraud.
That is the reason why nationalism is weak in Singapore, because it was led by a fraud.
For example, the stories of Dalforce fighting Japanese could be used to build nationalism in Singapore.
But Lee Kuan Yew dare not mention them.
Because he himself collaborated with japanese in WWII.
How on earth do you expect someone who worked for Japanese to promote stories on people who fought against the Japanese?
When asked to lay down their lives to fight the invaders, it was surprising that 3,000 volunteers, mostly Chinese, had paid no heed to their own interest when making a conscious decision to join the Dalforce in trying to repel the Japs.
Surprising because since most were migrants, nobody thought that they would find Nationalism in their souls.
The pride that this is their new homeland.

We should not and cannot buy into Harry Lee Kuan Yew's propaganda as in learn language for money.
He has his own hidden agenda. The guy is a problematic character. He is a cultural freak.
