The Labour Front (LF) won the most seats in the 1955 Singaporean general election and was thus invited to form a cabinet. Its leader, David Marshall, entered negotiations with other parties to build a coalition government.
After three days of discussion, a minority coalition comprising the LF, UMNO and MCA was formed. This marked Singapore's first cabinet and a significant step towards full self-governance.[1]
