The history of this country is very young compared to the ones that I have written about.
Established in 1963, the Federation of Malaysia, which originally included Singapore. But the federation was forced to let Singapore go as their was a concern that the majority of the population of Singapore would challenge the Malayan poliitical dominance. The small country of Brunei refused to join the federation.
The first ever prime minister of Malaysia Tunku Abdul Rahmanwas the man who thought it would be a good idea to form a federation, he was in power from 1963 – 1970. This federation caused suspicion in Indonesia, and a conflict began in Borneo between Indonesia and Malaysia which created a guerilla war and it was down to the Commonwealth military to stop the fighting.
In 1969 problems occured between a politically dominant Malay and an econonmically dominant Chinese, resulting in riots in Kuala Lumpur. The parliamentary government was suspended in 1971, after alot of hard work, finally the Malayan government was reformed, with the United Malays National Organization was the only party left and it was run by Tunku Rahman. But still problems occured with the Chinese.
