Compare and Contrast

SIMILARITY
Both sources, A and B are similar in content about political repression of the British Governor.
Source A says that, "I think you know, when I was first elected and appointed chief minister, I was told I had no office, no clerk, no thambi."
This suggests that someone had persecute towards David Marshall and thus did not provide him with anything when he was selected by the people.
Similarly, Source B states that, "Chinese students ignored the government's official closure of their schools, and in a repeat of the previous year locked themselves into their classrooms, where they established their own revolutionary curriculum.
This suggests that even the students did not bother about the what the governments says and do things in their own way, not caring about the rules made by the governments.
Thus, Sources A and B are similar in content in showing about the political repression of Singapore in 1956

DIFFERENCE
Sources A and B are different in content in about what the different people in Singapore hope to achieve.
Source A states that the people of Singapore wants to have independence.
Source B states that the Chinese students of Singapore wants to have their own education.
 From source A,  it states, "merdeka!"
This suggests that the people in Singapore wanted to achieve independence.
From source B, "Chinese students ignored the government's official closure of their schools, and in repeat of the previous year locked themselves into their classrooms, where they established their own revolutionary curriculum."
This tells me that the Chinese students of Singapore had a riot due to them wanting to have their own educational system.
Thus, source A and source B are different in showing what the different people in Singapore hope to achieve in 1956.
