Malaysia has its origins in the Malay Kingdoms present in the area which, from the 18th century, became subject to the British Empire. The first British territories were known as the Straits Settlements, whose establishment was followed by the Malay kingdoms becoming British protectorates. The territories on Peninsular Malaysia were first unified as the Malayan Union in 1946.
Malaya was restructured as the Federation of Malaya in 1948, and achieved independence
on 31 August 1957. Malaya united with North Borneo, Sarawak, and Singapore on 16 September 1963, with is being added to give the new country the name Malaysia. Less than two years later in 1965, Singapore was expelled from the federation.
Malaysia is a land of opportunities where natural resources abound, labour is cost effective, industrial land ample, infrastructure adequate and the currency is relatively strong. All these are cased within a framework of official policies and incentives that provide for a dynamic and efficacious economic climate.
Malaysia's Independence Day is celebrated on 31 August. Also known as Merdeka Day (Freedom Day), this is Malaysia's National Day.
