Sejarah pembentukan malaysia?
The first move towards the formation of Malaysia came in 1961 when the idea for the
formation of a wider federation comprising the Federation of Malaya, Singapore,
Sarawak, Sabah and Brunei was mooted by Tunku Abdul Rahman. Tunku's
proposal was generally accepted by the people of malaya and Singapore but raised doubts
in Sabah and Sarawak.However, the proposal was opposed by the Philippines as they
asserted a claim over Sabah. The proposal also received opposition from Indonesia where
it was viewed as a neo-colonialist plot by Sukarno and the powerful Indonesian
Communist Party.The proposal also had an immediate effect of accelerating
constitutional development in Sarawak, Sabah and Brunei. Elections were held for the
first time in Brunei and in Sabah in 1962. A joint- Anglo-Malayan commission headed by
a former of the bank of England, Lord Cobbold, visited sabah and Sarawakin 1962 and
reported that the majority of the states favoured the formation of Malaysia.

However, continued Philippine and Indonesian opposition led to the sending of a United
nations mission to Borneo in 1963, which also reported that the public opinion was in
favour of joining Malaysia.

Thus on 16 September 1963, the formation of Malaysia which consisted of the Federation
of Malaya, Sabah, Sarawak and Singaore was formally promulgated.
