• In the early 15th century, Parameswara, a prince of the former Srivijayan
empire, founded the Malacca Sultanate, commonly considered the first
independent state in the peninsula. Malacca was an important commercial
centre during this time, attracting trade from around the region.
Parameswara became a Muslim, accelerating the spread of Islam.
• In 1511 Malacca was conquered by Portugal, after which it was taken by
the Dutch in 1641. In 1786 the British Empire established a presence in
Malaya, when the Sultan of Kedah leased Penang to the British
East India Company. The British obtained the town of Singapore in
1819, and in 1824 took control of Malacca following the Anglo-Dutch Treaty.
By 1826 the British directly controlled Penang, Malacca, Singapore, and the
island of Labuan, which they established as the crown colony of the
Straits Settlements. By the 20th century, the states of Pahang, Selangor,
Perak, and Negeri Sembilan, known together as the Federated Malay States

6. • In the Second World War the Japanese army invaded and occupied Malaya,
Sabah, Sarawak, and Singapore for over three years. During this time, ethnic
tensions were raised and nationalism grew.
• Popular support for independence increased after Malaya was reconquered by
Allied Forces. Post-war British plans to unite the administration of Malaya
under a single crown colony called the Malayan Union met with strong
opposition from the Malays, who opposed the weakening of the Malay rulers
and the granting of citizenship to the ethnic Chinese.
• The Malayan Union, established in 1946 and consisting of all the British
possessions in the Malay Peninsula with the exception of Singapore, was
quickly dissolved and replaced by the Federation of Malaya.
• During this time, mostly Chinese rebels under the leadership of the Malayan
Communist Party launched guerrilla operations designed to force the British
out of Malaya.
• The Malayan Emergency lasted from 1948 to 1960, and involved a long anti-
insurgency campaign by Commonwealth troops in Malaya. The proposed date
of federation was 31 August 1963, however, the date was delayed until 16
September 1963 due to opposition from Indonesia's Sukarno and the Sarawak
United Peoples' Party.

Economy
• For 30 years Malaysia has industrialized rapidly, transforming itself from an economy
whose livelihood relied primarily on the production of mineral and agricultural export
commodities-palm oil, natural rubber, tropical timber and other minor mineral and
agricultural products-into an economy dominated by manufacturing and services.
• In 2002 manufacturing accounted for 30.6% of nominal GDP, up from 30.5% in 2001,
whereas the share of services fell to 50.7% from 51.8%. The manufacturing sector
tends to raise its share of GDP during (export-led) economic upturns; the share of
services usually grows in a more stable manner. Malaysia aims to become a fully
developed nation by 2020.
• Malaysia still plays a leading role in world markets for some of its commodities.
Manufactures account on average for 85% of gross export earnings. Electronic goods
are the single most important category and have grown at a double-digit rate for most
of the past 25 years, declining only in 1985 and in 2001. Electronic goods production
is heavily dependent on imported parts.
