The formation of the federation of Malaysia was formed
in September 1963 out of a number of former British colonies: the
Federation of Malaya (comprising 11 states), which had achieved
independence in 1957; Singapore, which had been self-governing since
1959; and two territories in northwestern Borneo, Sarawak and Sabah
(then known as North Borneo), which by 1960 were well advanced on the
road to independence.
