This is in contrast with other Chinese-based BN political parties such as the Malyasian Chinese Association (MCA) and Gerakan which have increasingly seen a deterioration of their Chinese electoral support.
50 Years of Malaysia: Federalism Revisited
On 16 September 1963 Malaysia came into being with the accession of Sabah, Sarawak and Singapore to the existing Federation of Malaya. This book marks the 50th anniversary of this notable event in South East Asia’s history. The focus of the book will be mainly on the experience of Sabah and Sarawak as subjects of the federation.
