ABOUT MALAYSIA
Brief History
The Federation of Malaya became an independent country on 31 August 1957.
On 16 September 1963 the federation was enlarged by the accession of
the states of Singapore, Sabah (formerly British North Borneo) and Sarawak.
The name ‘Malaysia’ was adopted from that date.
In 1965, Singapore left the federation to become an independent Republic.
Malaysia is a parliamentary democracy.
It is a Federation of 13 states and 3 federal territories with a constitutional monarch,
His Majesty the Yang di-Pertuan Agong as the Supreme Head of the country.
Executive Authority is also vested in the Yang di-Pertuan Agong
and exercised by a Cabinet of Ministers headed by the Prime Minister.
The Federal Constitution clearly demarcates the separation of powers
among the country’s Legislative, Judicial and Executive Authorities.
Malaysia has enjoyed a climate of political stability
which has brought with it a high level of economic growth
based on diversification of the economy, especially through
industrialization and stimulated by foreign investment.
Malaysia’s foreign policy is essentially premised on both the internal and external political,
security and socio-economic environments. The country’s international approach is guided by
the basic objective of seeking friendship for purposes of securing mutually beneficial relations.
A peaceful and stable political security environment in the region
is essential to the progress and prosperity of the country.
Malaysia remains firmly committed to intensifying regional cooperation,
primarily by building upon existing ASEAN cooperation as well as enhancing cooperation
with extra-regional countries, including between ASEAN and its Dialogue Partners.
In the latter area, Malaysia`s contributions lie in South-South Cooperation,
the Organisation of Islamic Conference, North-South relations, United Nations,
the United Nations Security Council, the Non-Aligned Movement and
the Commonwealth Group of Countries.
