The announcing of Independence Day of Malaysia, 31 August 1957

Through thick and thin, finally it worth. But, the question here, how did Tunku Abdul Rahman managed to get the freedom from British?

History has wrote it all and my main concern here, to share my knowledge on this. what use to be of Malaysian if we even do know how we got to stand at this era peacefully? Keep reading this entry, its gonna be fun.

Malaysia got its independence from the British on August 31, 1957 in a very peaceful manner through talks. Additionally, Malaysian independence was realised by three people of different cultures and religions


The background is that, after helping the British to win the war against the Japanese in WW2, the communists party in Malaya revolted against the British colonists, making a major strike in 1948 against British interests, e.g. the rubber plantations~~seeking to drive out the British~~who had a very hard time fighting against the "jungle rats" [who were very well organized], using what limited resources they still have, as most of which have been delepted by the war in Europe....

Because of this, the British handed Independence to the peoples of Malaya in 1957 because they knew that they are losing the war against the Communist Party.so they handed power over to the Malayans to fend for themselves..... However, the 11 states do not have the resources to do it, so they persuaded then Sarawak, North Borneo and Singapore to join them to form Malaysia in 16september (Hari Malaysia) Singapore wisely opted to leave later as it w . the communist was not able to overcome the united efforts of all the races in Malaysia to prevent it to create a communist democratic republic.

This is how the formation of Malaysia. The place that we are standing now. Interesting, right? :)
