    小小历史…
    1957 年 8 月 31 日，马来亚联邦被大英帝国
    授予独立。当时，联邦 马来亚由 11 个州组
    成。仅包括这 11 个州 在 1957 年《独立宣
    言》中：
    Perak

    Selangor Negeri Sembilan Pahang Johor Kedah

    Kelantan Perlis Terengganu Penang Malacca


    A little bit of history…
    On the 22nd of July 1963, Sarawak established a
    self-government, thereby proclaiming its independence.

    Later, on the 31st of August 1963, North Borneo (known


    today as Sabah) established a self-government as well,
    thereby proclaiming its independence.

    However, some people believe that Sabah and


    Sarawak were not truly independent until the formation of
    Malaysia because the British was still in control of them then.
    A little bit of history…
    On the 16th of September 1963, Prime Minister Tunku Abdul Rahman
    delivered the Proclamation of Malaysia declaring the merger of the
    federation of Malaya, North Borneo, Sarawak and Singapore. They
    were now one country: MALAYSIA.

    The proclamation ceremony was held at Stadium Merdeka, Kuala


    Lumpur and was attended
    by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong,
    the Malay Rulers, the Governor
    of Penang, Malacca, Singapore,
    Sarawak and Sabah.
    Did you know?
    In 1965, Singapore separated from Malaysia to become an independent
    and sovereign state.

    Malaysia Day was recognised as a public holiday in 2010 by the prime


    minister at the time, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

    Because the declaration of independence on the


    31st of August was for the federation of Malaya
    (excluding Sabah and Sarawak), by recognizing
    Malaysia Day as a nationwide public holiday,
    Malaysia was finally including Sabah & Sarawak
    in nationwide celebrations.
    Did you know?
    Malaysia initially consisted of 13 states (after Singapore left).

    In 1974, 1984 and 2001, the Malaysian government designated Kuala


    Lumpur, Labuan and Putrajaya as federal territories respectively.

    Now, Malaysia consists of 13 states and 3 federal territories.


    What is the difference
    between Merdeka Day and
    Malaysia Day?
    Merdeka Day celebrates the day
    the Federation of Malaya
    achieved independence from the
    British.

    Malaysia Day celebrates the day


    the Federation of Malaya, North
    Borneo (Sabah), Sarawak and
    Singapore joined together to
    form a new country called
    Malaysia.
