The agreement included a Proclamation on Singapore to be made by Malaysian Prime Minister Tunku Abdul Rahman; a different Proclamation of Singapore was made by Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew.
As a result of the agreement, Singapore became a sovereign country distinct and separate from Malaysia, and a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, with effect from 9 August 1965. The Singapore Act 1966 followed the treaty a year after.
