Malaysia as a federal state did not exist until 1963. Previously, a group of colonies was established by the United Kingdom in the late 18th century, and the western part of modern Malaysia consisted of several separate kingdoms. The collection of colonies was known as British Malaya until its dissolution in 1946, when it was reorganized as the Union of Malaya. Due to increasingly widespread opposition, the group was again reorganized as the Federation of Malaya in 1948 and then gained independence on 31 August 1957.

On September 16, 1963 in accordance with UN General Assembly Resolution 1514 in the process of decolonialisation, Singapore, Sarawak, North Borneo, or what is now better known as Sabah, became a state of a new federation called Malaysia including the Malaya Federation. And on August 9, 1965 Singapore was then expelled from Malaysia and became an independent country called the Republic of Singapore. During the early years of the formation of a new federation there was also opposition from the Philippines and military conflict with Indonesia.
