    The source shows me of a federal government with 2 dogs chasing a man disguised as singapore , the separation of singapore and malaysia may be due to the tax and the contributions singapore needed to give as from the source , the 2 dogs chasing singapore has words on it writing $50 million contribution and federation tax 60% .

    the source also tells me that singapore has nothing to do with malaysia after the separation as the man disguised as singapore has his luggage and everything he needs to bring back to his country , as if after the separation there would be no more link within the 2 countries

    the purpose of this source is to tell the citizens of singapore why they had a separation with malaysia and the citizens should be feeling happy as they would not need to pay extra money to the governments

    I can infer that Singapore had struggles with the malaysia,s federal government.Source G shows The Federal government with two dogs.One labelled $50 million contribution and the other federation tax 60%.Therefore,Singapore cannot deal with the debts of Malaysia and was forced to Separate itself from Malaysia.

    I can also infer that Malaysia was very strict with the bussiness issues with Singapore.Source G shows angry dogs instead of other creatures.THerefore,Singapore was forced to leave as it was too strict.

    I can infer that Malaysia is trying to chase Singapore. Source G shows me that Malaysia is chasing Singapore away because of the 50 million contribution and the federal tax. Therefore, Malaysia don't want Singapore to be together as it may bring both countries to war because of these two reasons.
