And for this video, I will tell you guys about the establishment of Malaysia,  and Malaysia nowadays,
and everything about Malaysia that you need to know.
So if you guys want to know more about Malaysia, stay tuned, we gonna get started now.
Malaysia history began in the day of Malacca Sultanatae that was around 14th century
In its heyday, the Sultanate covered most of the Penisula and East Coast of Sumetra
Malacca emerged as a glorious government because of its authoritive leaders,
and efficiencies some of administrative and governance
Besides, the location of Malacca at that time
which is located between the meeting point, East asia and west asia
These situations allowed Malacca to emerge as the major trading center
especially the spice trade in Southeast Asia
Islam on the other hand emerged as the main religion  that spread because
the king himself embraced to Islam
In 1511,  Malacca falls to to the Portuegues
and begining of this year, Malaya the name of Malaysia at that time
was in the colonial era.
After that Malaya falls to the Dutch in 1641
and eventually falls into the British hand in 1824
And at that time, British intervene in Malaya administration which previously managed
by the rulers with the help of the state dignitaries.
The British intervention has caused dissatisfaction among the locals.
Several individual rose up againts the colonialists including
Datuk Bahaman, Datuk Maharaja Lela, Rosly Dhobi, Tok Janggut, Dol Said and several other figures.
In between 1920's and 1930s the most nationalism, political awareness
and the development of the country people of the Malaya
began to get an education  whether it from Middle East or the local education.
As the result, those educated people emerged who began to fight for the spirit of nasionalism.
They used print media such as magazine, newspaper, story, novel,
to spread their ideology.
After several eyars British colonized Tanah Melayu, in 1941, Japan has succesfully
entered Tanah Melayu through Kota Bharu, kelantan with a bike ride.
However, Japan only colonize Tanah Melayu until 1945
and had surrendered to the British because of the atomic bombing in Hiroshima and Nagasaki
After the withdrawal of Japan from Malaya, British again inverted in 1945 until 1957.
This time, British was considered extreme because they were trying to abolish the privileges of local people
and the institution of the king.
which caused the anger among the local people at that time.
Tunku abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj
has raised the fighting spirit among the local people at that time
when he set a form of Parti Perikatan in 1952
that has opened British eyes to allow Malay people, the local people
at that time to rule their country.
The unity of three major races , Malay, Chinese and Indian have yielded result
when Perjanjian London was signed  in February 1956
Upon his return from London, Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al Haj had made a declaration
of independence of Tanah Melayu at the padang (field) Banda Hilir Melaka
on February 1956
The Malaya declaration of independence  was officially proclaimed on August 31, 1957
by Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al Haj
at stadium Merdeka Kuala Lumpur

Malayshire means  Malay administrative region.

on 29 July 2009,
