   On 23 September 1951, Singapore was conferred a British city and the MC changed its name to City Council. In 1957, after recommendations and reviews of three committees were passed, the CC became a fully elected body and the post of CC President was replaced by a Mayor. When PAP took power in 1959, it abolished the CC, in order not to let it serve as a government pressure group, and its functions were incorporated into statutory boards. In 1991, some of these functions were transferred out of civil service hands again - this time to town councils under the jurisdiction of elected MPs.
