The early Buddhist Malay kingdom of Srivijaya, based at what is now Palembang, Sumatra, dominated much of the Malay peninsula from the 9th to the 13th centuries AD. The powerful Hindu kingdom of Majapahit, based on Java, gained control of the Malay peninsula in the 14th century. Conversion of the Malays to Islam, beginning in the early 14th century, accelerated with the rise of the state of Malacca under the rule of a Muslim prince in the 15th century. Malacca was a major regional commercial center, where Chinese, Arab, Malay, and Indian merchants traded precious goods.<br />

The British obtained the island of Penang in 1786 and temporarily controlled Malacca with Dutch acquiescence from 1795 to 1818 to prevent it from falling to the French during the Napoleonic war.

The territories of peninsular Malaysia joined together to form the Federation of Malaya in 1948 and eventually negotiated independence from the British in 1957. Tunku Abdul Rahman became the first prime minister. In 1963 the British colonies of Singapore, Sarawak, and Sabah joined the Federation, which was renamed Malaysia. Singapore's membership was short-lived, however; it left in 1965 and became an independent republic.</span></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKbJrpSz9E8FSYaEwV73eOCdnF_cpLRkz5Gdax4_zpvB57q7GvCQrZqxqd4OWR6ycgrl_V00evjZu0lifzy9WYjEtWPV9IIOKR1tUFhyphenhyphen5TsNEVnR3Un0994hvehflWnDyAj32G4PUluPg8/s1600/MALAYSIA+MAPE.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594396394661762786" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKbJrpSz9E8FSYaEwV73eOCdnF_cpLRkz5Gdax4_zpvB57q7GvCQrZqxqd4OWR6ycgrl_V00evjZu0lifzy9WYjEtWPV9IIOKR1tUFhyphenhyphen5TsNEVnR3Un0994hvehflWnDyAj32G4PUluPg8/s400/MALAYSIA+MAPE.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; height: 202px; width: 249px;" /></a><br /><span style="font-size: 100%;"><span lang="MS" style="font-family: arial;">Neighboring Indonesia objected to the formation of Malaysia and began a program of economic, political, diplomatic, and military "confrontation" against the new country in 1963, which ended only after the fall of Indonesia's President Sukarno in 1966. Internally, local communists, nearly all Chinese, carried out a long, bitter insurgency both before and after independence, prompting the imposition of a state of emergency from 1948 to 1960. Small bands of guerrillas remained in bases along the rugged border with southern Thailand, occasionally entering northern Malaysia. These guerrillas finally signed a peace accord with the Malaysian Government in December 1989. A separate, small-scale communist insurgency that began in the mid-1960s in Sarawak also ended with the signing of a peace accord in October 1990.</span></span></div>
