In Singapore, STRAITS TIMES was used for all years except 1962, when data were collected from the MALAY MAIL. Data on domestic and international events involving Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, and Singapore were collected on a daily basis. Events reflecting the Southeast Asian countries' relations with the United States, Great Britain, Australia, West Germany, and the Netherlands were only documented for every third day in the last quarter of 1970.
