		In 1963, Singapore joined Malaya, Sabah and Sarawak to form the new nation of the Federation of Malaysia but there was a disagreement between the individual governments in the Federation, and discord soon erupted, eventually resulting in Singapore breaking off from the federation.

	Malaysia - Wikitravel
		Malaysia was formed in 1963 through a merging of the former British colonies of Malaya and Singapore, including the East Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak on the northern coast of Borneo.

Contributing to this is the bumiputra policy, or Malay-first policy, which provides privileges to the ethnic Malays at the expense of the (traditionally wealthier) minority Chinese and (traditionally less-wealthy) Indian populations.
