	History of Malaysia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1963 Malaya became Malaysia with the acquisition of the British territories in North Borneo and Singapore.
		Malaysia’s rapid economic progress since 1970, which was only temporarily disrupted by the Asian financial crisis of 1997, has not been matched by change in Malaysian politics.
		Malaysia has had regular elections since 1974, and although campaigning is reasonably free at election time, it is in effect a one-party state, with the UMNO-controlled National Front usually winning nearly all the seats, while the DAP wins some Chinese urban seats and the PAS some rural Malay ones.
