Sometime in 1964, Dr Goh Keng Swee created a file code-named “Albatross” on Singapore’s increasingly fraught relations with Kuala Lumpur.

In that file, he collected Cabinet papers as well as his own handwritten notes of his conversations with Malaysian leaders, leading to Singapore’s separation from the federation. Almost all the material in the Albatross file is being published here for the first time, together with the oral history recollections of Singapore’s founding leaders.

Singaporeans can read the thoughts, fears and hopes of Mr Lee Kuan Yew and his comrades as they led the island-city to unexpected independence on 9 August 1965. Refusing to be intimidated and heedless of the personal risks they faced, they insisted on either a Malaysian Malaysia or negotiated constitutional rearrangements.

As unexpected as it was — and for many of Singapore’s leaders then, an outcome they did not wish — Separation turned out to be “the best thing that ever happened to Singapore”.

《信天翁文件：解密新马分家史》首次公开新加坡前副总理吴庆瑞博士1964年建立的“信天翁”机密档案，完整呈现新加坡从马来西亚联邦到1965年独立的关键历程。书中收录从未披露的内阁文件、吴博士与马来西亚领导人谈话的亲笔笔记，以及建国元勋的口述历史，揭示李光耀及其团队在新马分家过程中的各种焦虑和抉择。这不仅是一段历史，更是一场决定命运的政治博弈。
