Question

Describe how the malayas were formed

Answer 1

The Federation of Malaya (Malay: Persekutuan Tanah Melayu; Jawi: ڤرسكوتوان تانه ملايو) was a federation of 11 states (nine Malay states and two of the British Straits Settlements, Penang and Malacca)[2] that existed from 1 February 1948 until 16 September 1963. The Federation became independent on 31 August 1957,[3] and in 1963 Malaysia was formed with the Singapore, North Borneo, and Sarawak Crown Colonies.[4] The combination of states that formerly made up the Federation of Malaya is currently known as Peninsular Malaysia.
