    Extractions: Kuching is the capital of Sarawak which, at 125.000 square kilometers, is the largest of the 13 states that make up the Federation of Malaysia. Sarawak lies on the northwest coast of Borneo and enjoys an extensive coastline of 720 kilometer on the South China Sea. It is bounded by Brunei Darussalam on the north, Sabah on the northeast and Kalimantan Indonesia on the south. Like much of Malaysia, Kuching enjoys a tropical climate with average daytime temperatures hovering between 24 and 32 Celsius. At night, on a rainy day, the mercury might dip to a minimum of 22 Celsius. Kuching can be visited any time of the year. The monsoon season or landas is between November and February. While there are occasionally days when it rains continuously during the landas, more likely than not the showers fall abruptly and are over just as quickly. The average annual rainfall is between 330 cm and 460 cm. Bahasa Malaysia or Malay is the national language. However, English is widely spoken especially by those in the travel industry. Currency The unit of currency is the Malaysian Ringgit indicated as (RM) which is worth 100 Sen. Coins are issued in denominations of 1 sen, 5 sen, 10 sen, 20 sen, 50 sen and 1 RM.

    Extractions: A union between Singapore and Malaysia between 1963 and 1965 proved too unhappy as a result of the bloody communalistic race riots between the indigenous Malays and the Singaporean Chinese. Because of that and other irreconcilable differences, Singapore was requested to leave the Federation of Malaysia. It became an independant state on Aug. 9, 1965. Lee Kuan Yew is often referred to as the chief political architect of modern Singapore. He was the prime minister for 31 years, until 1990, when he was replaced by the current prime minister, Goh Chok Tong. However, Lee is still considered Singapore's most influential leader. As historian Ramlah Adam, of the University of Malaya, has said; "Lee Kuan Yew is Singapore and Singapore is Lee Kuan Yew.

    Extractions: HISTORY The early Buddhist Malay kingdom of Srivijaya, based at what is now Palembang, Sumatra, dominated much of the Malay Peninsula from the 9th to the 13th centuries AD. The powerful Hindu kingdom of Majapahit, based on Java, gained control of the Malay Peninsula in the 14th century. Conversion of the Malays to Islam, beginning in the early 14th century, accelerated with the rise of the state of Malacca under the rule of a Muslim prince in the 15th century. Malacca was a major regional entrepot, where Chinese, Arab, Malay, and Indian merchants traded precious goods. Drawn by this rich trade, a Portuguese fleet conquered Malacca in 1511, marking the beginning of European expansion in Southeast Asia. The Dutch ousted the Portuguese from Malacca in 1641 and, in 1795, were themselves replaced by the British, who had occupied Penang in 1786. In 1826, the British settlements of Malacca, Penang, and Singapore were combined to form the Colony of the Straits Settlements. From these strong points, in the 19th and early 20th centuries, the British established protectorates over the Malay sultanates on the peninsula. Four of these states were consolidated in 1895 as the Federated Malay States. During British control, a well-ordered system of public administration was established, public services were extended, and large-scale rubber and tin production was developed. This control was interrupted by the Japanese invasion and occupation from 1942 to 1945 during World War II.

    Extractions: The arrival of Europeans in Malaysia brought a dramatic change to the country. In 1511, the Portuguese captured Malaka and the rulers of the Melaka Sultanate fled south to Johor where they tried to establish a new kingdom. They were resisted not only by the Europeans but by the Acehnese, Minangkabau and the Bugis, resulting in the sovereign units of the present-day states of Peninsular Malaysia. The Portuguese were in turn defeated in 1641 by the Dutch, who colonized Melaka until the advent of the British in the Dutch exerted any profound influence on Malay society. The British acquired Melaka from the Dutch in 1824 in exchange for Bencoolen in Sumatra. From their new bases in Malaka, Penang and Singapore, collectively known as the Straits settlements, the British, through their influence and power, began the process of political intergration of the Malay states of Peninsular Malaysia.

    Extractions: Country Info Malaysia Introduction Malaysia General Data Malaysia Maps Malaysia Culture ... Malaysia Time and Date Malaysia History Back to Top The early history of the area is obscure because there are few local documents and almost no archaeological remains, especially any with inscriptions. According to Chinese sources, however, early contacts were made with China. Traders also spread Hindu influences from India, which affected people’s customs and the rituals of local rulers. Peninsular Malaysia was not unified politically but was split into small kingdoms and subdivided into chiefdoms defined by river valleys. Political rule of Borneo was even more fragmented. Some of the mainland kingdoms may have been subject to a degree of control by larger empires centered in Cambodia or Java, such as Majapahit. Because the Malay Peninsula links mainland and archipelagic Southeast Asia and because Malaysia is characterized by a geographic division, the history of the present-day country can be understood only within a regional framework and as part of the wider context of the western archipelago zone. The Strait of Malacca (Melaka) bisects this realm and long has constituted a crossroads for peoples, cultures, and trade passing through or taking root in the area. Influences from China, India, the Middle East, and, later, Europe followed the maritime trade. Malaya (Peninsular Malaysia) and Sarawak and Sabah (East Malaysia) have shared many historical patterns, but each region also has developed in unique ways.

    Extractions: Scientists have found archaeological evidence of human inhabitants in the Niah Caves in Sarawak from about 40,000 years ago. The earliest evidence of inhabitants on the Malay Peninsula that has been found is from about 10,000 years ago. Neolithic culture was well established by 2500-1500 BC. Most scholars believe the earliest settlers on the Malay Peninsula came overland from southern China in small groups over a period of thousands of years. These early inhabitants became the ancestors of the Orang Asli. During the 1000's B.C., new groups of migrants who spoke a language related to Malay came to Malaysia. The ancestors of these people had traveled by sea from south China to Taiwan, and later from Taiwan to Borneo and the Philippines. These people became the ancestors of the Malays and the Orang Laut. The newcomers settled mainly in the coastal areas of the peninsula. Small Malayan kingdoms existed in the 2nd or 3rd centuries AD, when adventurers from India arrived and initiated more than 1,000 years of Indian influence. About A.D. 1400, a group of Malay-speaking migrants came to the Malay Peninsula from Srivijaya, a trading kingdom on the island of Sumatra (now part of Indonesia). Led by a Sumatran prince called Paramesvara, these newly arrived immigrants established a commercial kingdom called

He became the first prime minister of the Federation of Malaya from 1957 to1963, and of Malaysia from 1963 to 1970. Tunku was born on February 8, 1903 in Alor Setar, the capital of the State of Kedah. He is the seventh prince of Sultan Abdul Hamid Shah, the twenty fourth Sultan of Kedah, and Che Manjalara. Said to be a robust and bright boy with a particular fondness for sports, Tunku received his early education at the Debsurin School, Bangkok and Penang Free School. On a Kedah Government scholarship, he went on to study at St. Catherine's College, Cambridge University, where he received his Bachelor of Arts in law and history in 1925. A firsthand experience in racial discrimination with the college's administration was said to have intensified his conviction in fighting for equality and ignited his desire in making his homeland an independent state, free from British colonialism. His leadership flair also unfolded in England. Realizing the Malay students there were not represented by any organization, he established the Kesatuan Melayu Great Britain (Malay Association of Great Britain) and became its first secretary.

    Extractions: Home About Us Search Back to Malaysia Malaysia's History and Background Ancient Malaysia - Negrito aborigines are considered to be one of the first groups of people to inhabit the Malaysian peninsula. When the Proto-Malays, made up of seafarers and farmers, came to the peninsula they sent the Negritos into the jungles and hills. The Proto-Malays came from China and were technologically advanced, especially in comparison to the Negritos. After the Proto-Malays came the Deutero-Malays, which were made up of many different people - Arabs, Chinese, Indians, Proto-Malays, and Siamese. The Deutero-Malays were proficient in their use of iron and when they united with Indonesians, they combined to make up the people known today as the Malay. Hindu Kingdom - 100 BC - 1400 AD - During this period, Malaysia's culture changed dramatically with the arrival of Indians. Indians initially went to the Malaysian peninsula in search of a mystical place known as the "Land of Gold." Although the places in Malaysia may not have been what they were looking for, they didn't leave, but continued to arrive in search of gold, spices and aromatic wood. In addition to trade (with goods), the Indians introduced Hinduism and Buddhism to the peninsula, thus bringing temples and other cultural traditions from India. As a result, local kings in Malaysia combined what they considered to be the best aspects of India's government with their own structure, thus resulting in "Indianised kingdoms." Today, the Indian influences can best be seen in a traditional Malay wedding ceremony, which is similar to those in India.
