The Federation of Malaya received her independence from Britain in 1957. On September 16, 1963, the eleven states of this Federation, the former colonies of Sarawak and Sabah on the western coast of Borneo and the State of Singapore united to form Malaysia. In August 1965, however, Singapore seceded from this newly-formed federation to become an independent republic. Malaysia as it is known to-day consists of eleven states of the peninsula that constituted Malaya in 1957, (this is referred to as peninsula Malaysia) Sabah and Sarawak. Peninsula Malaysia is separated from Sabah and Sarawak by the vast South China Sea.
