	History of Malaysia at AllExperts
		The port of Melaka (traditionally spelt Malacca) on the west coast of the Malay Peninsula was founded around 1400 by Parameswara, a rebel prince of the Srivijaya royal line, claimed in Sejarah Melayu to be a descendant of Alexander the Great.
		The Malayans were thus on the whole glad to see the British back in 1945, but things could not remain as they were before the war.
		Since the British had announced in 1949 that Malaya would soon become independent whether the Malayans liked it or not, both leaders were determined to forge an agreement their communities could live with as a basis for a stable independent state.

		coast would seem to indicate that they reached the peninsula by a sea, not by a land route, a supposition which is strengthened by their almost amphibious habits.
		The appearance of the same Malayan words in localities so widely separated from each other, however, cannot be satisfactorily accounted for by any such explanation, and the theory is now more generally held that the two races are probably allied and may at some remote period of history have shared a common home.
		writing also appears to have been independently invented by the Malayan races, since numerous alphabets are in use among the peoples of the archipelago, although for the writing of Malay itself the Arabic character has been adopted for some hundreds of years.

	The Case of Malaya
		The old Portuguese outpost of Malacca had been acquired by Britain as early as the 1780's, and together with the island of Singapore at the tip of the Malayan peninsula and the island of Penang off of the west coast of Malaya, was grouped into the Colony of the Straits Settlements in 1824.
		When the Malayan federal government announced, in early September, the imposition of new racial quotas on all of the states -- including the non-Malay-majority states of west Malaya -- Chinese and Indian mobs rioted against the federal government.
		Malayan army soldiers sent in to suppress the uprisings were attacked, and plans were made by Lee Kuan Yew and his counterparts to divide Malaya into Malay-majority and non-Malay-majority countries.

		The earliest immigrants to the Malay Peninsula from the Indonesian archipelago were Minangkabaus from Sumatra.
		The west coast of the peninsula was especially popular among seafaring Bugis, Chinese and Indian as a stopover, leading to increased migration of the people to set up visible coastal settlements in the thirteenth century.

	Annam and its minor currency
		The situation of the Annamese Kingdom on the south-east of the great Indo-malayan peninsula is well known.
		Ciampa, a Malayan state, and during six centuries the abode of thieves and pirates, was conquered in 1471 by the Annamese army.
		Doubtless it was formed by Chinese and Malayan colonists who settled there and mixed among themselves, a fact paralleled by the present race of the Sang-ley, or half-casts of Chinese and Tagals now populating the Philippine islands.

	proXsa:immigration/UK Migration (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Although South Asians have had a presence on the Malayan Peninsula for some 2,000 years, most of the present-day community traces its immigration back to the turn of this century.
		Between 1844 and 1941 (the last year of immigration of this kind), over 2.7 million South Asian workers had immigrated to the Malayan Peninsula, and the permanent community was thought to number some 150,000.
		Given the material realities of the Malayan plantation economy (close, segregated living and working conditions, the prime importance of the kangani system of recruitment and supervision, etc.), the largely Tamil Indian community in Malaysia have remained an identifiable ethnicity within the current socio-cultural milieu.

	Psychological Warfare of the Malayan Emergency
		The few hundred British subjects who served in the Malayan Civil Service were an elite group, so carefully chosen as to be known locally as "the heaven-born." It was clear that Britain had discarded the eighteenth-century notion that colonies and protectorates were meant to provide jobs for citizens of the mother country.
		During the entire Malayan campaign, nearly 500 million leaflets were dropped on more than 2,500 sorties and nearly 4,000 hours of aerial broadcasting were completed on a further 4,500 sorties by aircraft of the air transport support forces.

		Only the city-state of Singapore at the tip of the peninsula was excluded from the Federation, which was seen as a step toward independence.

		Not competing in any of the elections was the illegal Malayan Communist Party, still a major disruptive force in Malayan politics-although losing the guerrilla war and allowing the state of emergency to be ended in 1960.

	Malaya (Vegetarian World) - Alternative History
		Inhabited by Semang Orang Asli, and later adding Proto-Malays to the mix in ancient times, it was the influence of India and the sprouting of Sri Vijaya and other kingdoms that exposed the people of the Malayan Peninsula to the rest of the world.
		The Malays, as a cultural-linguistic group, were spread throughout southeastern Sumatra (now the nation of Jambi), the Malay Peninsula, and some coastal areas of Borneo, though they are related to many other groups in Macronesia.
		At any rate, Jambi and the Malayan Peninsula drifted further apart culturally, because of the Netherlander influence over the former, and the British influence over the latter.
