Incredible that the separation agreement between Singapore and Malaysia in 1965 was not vetted after it was typed out. Especially considering how Singaporeans often take the letter of the law all too seriously. Excerpt below from then-Singapore Law Minister E. W. Barker's oral history interview, recounting the night the separation agreement was settled at the home of then-Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister Tun Abdul Razak: "We ate and we drank till past midnight. The documents were ready soon thereafter. And hence the agreement was dated the seventh day of August 1965. Not one of them read the documents. I was a little tipsy but decided to read the agreement, lest there be mistakes. Razak asked me what I was afraid of as it was my typist who typed the documents. I stopped reading and signed." As featured in a very good two-part documentary by CNA on Singapore's separation from Malaysia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwG-Dp00sDY
