Celal Bayar was elected the third President of Turkey on May 22, 1950, following the Democrat Party's landslide victory in the 1950 general election. He served as president until the 1960 coup, overseeing a period of economic growth and NATO membership.

Celal Bayar was overthrown and arrested on May 27, 1960, when the Turkish military staged a coup against the Democrat Party government. He was tried by the Yass

Celal Bayar was released from prison in 1964 after receiving a pardon due to his advanced age and health. He was later fully rehabilitated and regained his political rights in 1974, living to the age of 103.

Lim Yew Hock succeeded David Marshall as Chief Minister in June 1956. He led a coalition government and adopted a more conciliatory approach toward the British, successfully negotiating internal self-government for Singapore.

Lim ordered a major crackdown on communist and leftist organizations, arresting hundreds of activists and union leaders. This action weakened the leftist movement but also drew criticism for suppressing political dissent.

Lim led a delegation to London in 1957 and secured an agreement for full internal self-government for Singapore. The British retained control over defense and foreign affairs, but Singapore gained control over domestic matters.

Lim's party, the Singapore People's Alliance, was decisively defeated by the PAP in the 1959 general election. The PAP won 43 of 51 seats, and Lim lost his own seat, ending his tenure as Chief Minister.

After leaving office, Lim served as Singapore's High Commissioner to Malaysia from 1963 to 1965. He represented Singapore's interests during the merger and separation period.
