After the Straits Settlements was dissolved on 1 April 1946, Singapore together with the Cocos-Keeling and Christmas islands, became a separate crown colony, while Penang and Malacca joined the new Malayan Union.
As a separate crown colony, Singapore retained the hierarchical organisational structure of the Straits Settlements government with a governor at the helm who was assisted by an Advisory Executive Council, a Legislative Council and a Municipal Council.
