In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

3. THE MELAKA SULTANATE
Founding of the Melaka Sultanate
1. The Malay Melaka Sultanate is the oldest Malay Sultanate in the history
of Malaysia. While other kingdoms such as the Old Kedah empire and
Perak empire existed during the pre-Islamic era, they were not widely
studied because of the lack of records and archeological evidence.
2. Apart from Malaya, the islands of South-East Asia saw the rise of a few
other great empires that pre-date Melaka, such as Funan, Srivijaya and
Majapahit. The Melaka Malay Sultanate is of Srivijayan heritage and was
centered in Palembang, South-east Sumatra. This empire was in existence
between the seventh century and 13th century .

MPU3173 PENGAJIAN
MALAYSIA 3
5. 3. The Srivijaya empire was a maritime empire and had traded with
India, West Asia, China and rural areas within its own borders. This
empire was the hub for the spread of Hindu-Buddhism, as well as the
centre for teaching Sanskrit and other ancient languages.
4. In 1391, Srivijaya was attacked by Majapahit (another empire in
Java). This forced a Palembang prince named Parameswara and his
followers to retreat to Temasik (now known as Singapore). At that time,
Temasik had its own political system, under the patronage of the
Ayudhya empire from Siam. The local ruler was Sang Aji Singapore.
5

MALAYSIA 3
6. 5. After defeating the rulers of the island, Parameswara took control of
Temasik. In 1398, Ayudhya made a counter-attack on Temasik to retake
it.
6. This forced Parameswara and his followers to retreat yet again to the
Malay Peninsula. His Royal Highness first set-up camp in Muar, then in
Sening Hujung (Sungai Ujong, Negeri Sembilan), Bertam (Sungai
Melaka), and in 1400, finally settled in Melaka
6

MALAYSIA 3
7. 7. Fishing villages had already existed when Parameswara arrived
Melaka.
8. Parameswara named the area Melaka after a ‘Melaka’ tree. An
alternative theory as to how Parameswara came up with the name
Melaka is that it was from an Arabic word ‘Malaqat’ which meant ‘place
of shelter’ which symbolizes what the place was to Parameswara and his
followers. Under the leadership of Parameswara and his descendants,
Melaka expanded and became one of the most famous trading centres in
the 15th century
7
Matapelajaran Pengajian Umum (MPU)
MPU3173 PENGAJIAN
MALAYSIA 3
8. Political Development in Melaka during the early years
1. Parameswara developed the infrastructure in Melaka which included
the harbour that enabled Melaka to become a global trade centre.
However, at about time, China was an even greater trading nation
and power. In Parameswara’s view, Melaka would benefit from
paying homage to the Emperor of China.
2. Melaka was fortunate in this respect because in 1403, the Chinese
sent an envoy name Yin Ching who brought gifts for Parameswara.
This was proof that China acknowledged Melaka’s growing status as
an important port of call for traders from all over the world.
8

MALAYSIA 3
9. 3. The Chinese Emperor Yung Lo from the Ming Dynasty got word of
Melaka through emissaries and traders who came from the Middle east,
such as Saudi Arabia and Persia.
4. In 1405, emissaries from Melaka escorted Yin Ching back to China.
The sovereignty of Melaka was officially acknowledged and
Parameswara was crowned the Sultan.

MALAYSIA 3
10. 5. In 1409, Admiral Cheng Ho from China brought Parameswara several
royal regalia along with royal inscriptions to the court as gifts. Melaka
was the first empire in Asia to receive such an honour.
6. The good relations with China gave Melaka a chance to enhance its
prestige and status. Such important close ties with China also meant that
Melaka was under its protection. This deterred attacks from Siam and
Majapahit.

11. Ruling System of the Melaka Kingdom
1. The highest position in early Melaka administrative system was the
king or ‘Yang di-Pertuan’. When the members of the Melaka
kingdom converted to Islam, the ruler was then called ‘Sultan’ or
‘Shah’.
2. Many scholars agree that Sultan Iskandar Shah was the first ruler of
Melaka to embrace Islam. The ruling system was known as ‘absolute
monarchy’, which meant that the status and rights of the kings could
not be questioned.
11
Matapelajaran Pengajian Umum (MPU)
MPU3173 PENGAJIAN
MALAYSIA 3
12. 3. Melaka became well-known for its system of government that had a clear-
cut administrative protocol and a well-organized structure
4. The Sultan was assisted by a powerful hierarchy of court officials with
different ranks, status and functions. This system was known as the ‘Fourfold
Dignitary System’.
# the main officials are the Bendahara, Penghulu Bendahari,
Temenggung and Laksamana.
5. Bendahara: He is the main minister and the position is similar to that of
the present-day Prime Minister of Malaysia. He plays the role of an advisor to
the king. He must be of royal blood and must have close ties to the king. He
could act as regent in the absence of the king and has a role in choosing the
next king.
12
Matapelajaran Pengajian Umum (MPU)
MPU3173 PENGAJIAN
MALAYSIA 3
13. 6. Penghulu Bendahari: He is the treasurer of the government and
controls the finances of the country. He is also tasked with the collection
of taxes and state revenues. He also keeps the records of the loyal slaves
and is the head of all port masters.
7. Temenggung: He is the executor or head of legal matters, state laws
and security. He is also known as the head of the police. Therefore, he
also functions as a prosecutor if someone was found to have committed
a crime. In the matters of customs and traditions, he acts as the head of
protocol.

14. 8. Laksamana: This post is relatively new compared to the other posts.
The first historical figure to have held this position was Hang Tuah,
during the reign of Sultan Mansur Shah. The Laksamana is also a
warrior during times of war, especially at sea. Also known as ‘Raja
Laut’ and the leader of all kingdom’s warriors. Role as a diplomat and to
escort the royal envoys

17. 9. The whole empire was divided into four categories, namely:
(a) Kota Melaka
(b) Vassal territories (areas under the responsibility of certain
ministers who rule and collect taxes from these regions)
(c) Conquered territories
(d) Colonized territories (were given autonomy and were required
to pay a certain amount in taxes.)

18. Factors that Contributed to the Golden Age of Melaka
1. Geographical factor: Located in the middle of the international
oceanic trade routes. Were between the Indian subcontinent and China.
# Two main monsoon winds beneficial to seafaring boats meet:
the north-eastern monsoon that blew from November to March and
south-western monsoon blew from April to October.
2. Economic factors: With the advantage in location (being in the
middle of trade routes), Melaka had an abundance of luxury items from
other nations. Like spices, rotan, wood and textiles.
18
Matapelajaran Pengajian Umum (MPU)
MPU3173 PENGAJIAN
MALAYSIA 3
19. 3. Political and administrative factors: China provided protection to
Melaka. Melaka also had a comprehensive military structure from
Orang Laut and government leaders
19
Matapelajaran Pengajian Umum (MPU)
MPU3173 PENGAJIAN
MALAYSIA 3
20. The Fall of Melaka
1. Internal factors
Weak in the defense sector: The shortage of warriors like Hang Tuah and
Tun Hamzah.
Lack of Unity amongst the people: For example, Sultan Mahmud’s group
and Sultan Ahmad’s group, who did not agree on matters started forming
separate factions.
Behaviour of the officials: Officials were often unjust and imposed
unreasonable taxes on the traders, that cause angers amongst the traders.
Those traders started looking for other ports like in Acheh, Bentan, Pattani
and Brunei to continue their business and trading activities.
20
Matapelajaran Pengajian Umum (MPU)
MPU3173 PENGAJIAN
MALAYSIA 3
21. 2. External Factors
Discovery of the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa: European
explorers discovered the Cape of Good Hope in 1488.
This caused the Western Powers to be interested in trading sites in
the East. Portuguese sailors also were encouraged to do so by the
Portuguese King, Prince Henry.
The Portuguese had plans to control the Melaka port to
monopolize the spice trade, restrict trade by Muslims traders and
to spread Christianity.
21

MALAYSIA 3
22. Portuguese assault/ attack on Melaka: The Portuguese attacked
Melaka in 1509 and 1511.
during this period, Melaka did not have a well- organized defence
and had trouble coping with invaders’ modern and advanced
weaponry.
In 1511, Melaka fell to the Portuguese, headed by Alfonso de
Albuquerque.
22
Matapelajaran Pengajian Umum (MPU)

MALAYSIA 3
23. THE JOHOR SULTANATE
1. Melaka failed to repel the Portuguese that marked the end of their
golden age.
2. Alfonso de Albuquerque along with his 19 warships and 1,400 men,
succeeded in capturing Melaka on 24 July 1511.
3. So, Sultan Ahmad Shah and his father Sultan Mahmud Shah and
their followers went to the south. Sultan Mahmud Shah stayed in
Batu Hampar, while Sultan Ahmad Shah built a fort in Pagoh. Both
of them tried to retake Melaka.
23
Matapelajaran Pengajian Umum (MPU)

24. 4. But, they were defeated by the Portuguese. Then, they retreated to
Pahang. After a few years in Pahang, they moved to Bentan.
5. But, the Portuguese attacked Bentan several times (1521, 1523, and
1524). Sultan Mahmud retreated to Kampar and ruled Kampar. He died
in 1528 in Kampar.
6. Sultan Mahmud’s son, Raja Ali (later titled as Sultan Alaudin Riayat
Shah) ruled Kampar. While the other son of Sultan Mahmud, Raja
Muzaffar, went to Perak and became the first Sultan of Perak.
24

25. 7. Sultan Alaudin Riayat Shah later moved to Pahang and married with
the princess of Pahang. Later, moved to Johor to start a new settlement
in Hujung Tanah. He was known as Sultan of Johor.
25

26. The Johor Administration up to 1718.
1. The government inherited many of its systems and forms of
governance from Melaka.
2. The Sultan was being assisted by Bendahara, Temenggung, Raja
Indera Bongsu (Penghulu Bendahari ), Laksamana and Shahbandar.
26

27. Trade in Johore
1. Johor only started to become an important trade centre in the mid
17th century.
2. Johor became a major power under the leadership of Sultan Abdul
Jalil Shah III. Johor also expanded its borders and added many
territories and became the premier trading centre in the archipelago
27
Matapelajaran Pengajian Umum (MPU)

28. Factors:
Strategic location
Wide rivers
Warehouse and market facilities
External merchandise
The role of Orang Laut (they patrolled the sea and secure the trading
activities)
Relations with the Dutch (Johor had protection from the Dutch)
Entrepot Port (As an entrepot port, Johor handled trade from all over
the world)

29. THE FORMATION OF SULTANATE IN
OTHER STATES
1.Perak: Raja Muzaffar, the son of Sultan Mahmud became the first Sultan of
Perak.
2. Pahang: The foundation of the Pahang Sultanate was closely linked to
Melaka Sultanate. During Sultan Mansur’s reign in Melaka, his son, Raja
Muhammad killed Bendahara’s son, Tun Besar, in the game of sepak raga. The
ball hit Tun Besar’s forehead accidentally. It caused Raja Muhammad to be
exiled to Pahang by Sultan Mansur. He became the first Sultan of Pahang, Sultan
Muhammad Shah.

30. 3.Negeri Sembilan: Its name was derived from the nine small states namely
Sungai Ujong, Naning, Rembau, Jelebu, Johol, Klang, Jelai, Ulu Pahang and
Segamat. Later, Klang was given to Selangor. Jelai and Ulu Pahang were given
to Pahang and Segamat was given to Johor. Until 16th century, Negeri
Sembilan was a colonial territory of Johor. They freed from Johor in 17th
century. At the end of that century, the ministers invited Minangkabau kings to
rule their state. Raja Pagar Ruyong were invited to be the ruler in 18th century
because they wanted to overcome the influence of Bugis in Malay Peninsula.
30
Matapelajaran Pengajian Umum (MPU)
MPU3173 PENGAJIAN
MALAYSIA 3
31. 4.Selangor: In 15th century, Selangor was under Melaka’s rule. After
the fall of Melaka, Selangor became the colonial territory to Johor until
18th century. In May 1745, Daeng Chelak, one of the five Bugis
Brothers who settled in and had great influence in Johor in the 18th
century died. He left 2 sons, Raja Haji and Raja Lumu. Raja Lumu was
crowned as the first Sultan Selangor in 1766 and were called as Sultan
Sallehuddin Riayat Shah.
31

MALAYSIA 3
32. 5. Terengganu: Tun Zainal Abidin Ibn Tun Habib Abdul Majid, a
descendent of Bendahara’s family from Johor, was the founder of
Terengganu Sultanate in the 18th century. He was crowned in 1708 and
it can be proved with the discovery of golden coins with his name on it.
6. Kedah: Is the oldest state in Malay Peninsula. Thus it has different
scenario of its early administration’s history. Hikayat Merong
Mahawangsa claimed that the first ruler of Kedah was the roman king
named Raja Merong Mahawangsa. The seventh king of this dynasty
named Raja Phra Ong Mahawangsa was the first Kedah King who
embraced Islam and bore titled of Sultan Muzaffar Shah

33. 7. Kelantan: Was ruled at first by Jembal Dynasty, before being ruled
by the Long Yunus Dynasty. According to classical texts, such as
Hikayat Seri Kelantan and Riwayat Kelantan, the state was once being
ruled by female rulers, like Puteri Saadong and Cik Siti Wan Kembang.

35. COLONIAL ERA
1. From 1511 until the time when Malaya achieved independence on
31st August 1957, historical show that the country was occupied by
foreign power for 446 years.
2. It started with;
Portuguese (1511-1641)
Dutch (1641-1824)
Japanese (1941-1945)
British (1824-1957)
35

36. PORTUGUESE OCCUPATION
1. When the Portuguese succeeded in conquering Melaka, this signaled
the beginning of the end of the Golden Age of the Melaka Sultanate
2. This was because, in reality, the Portuguese only succeeded in taking
the city and port of Melaka
3. Sultan Mahmud and his son Raja Ahmad retreated and eventually
continued the Malay Sultanate in other states (Johor and Perak)
4. On the whole, the Portuguese occupied Melaka for 130 years, from
1511 to 1641
36
Matapelajaran Pengajian Umum (MPU)
MPU3173 PENGAJIAN
MALAYSIA 3
37. 5. Alfonso de Albuquerque was responsible for building the ‘A Famosa
Fort’ which protected Melaka from many attacks, particularly those of
Sultan Mahmud who repeatedly attempted to retake Melaka from the
Portuguese
6. The Portuguese practiced a form of military administration
# the head of this administration was called the Captain of Melaka Fort
(also known as Southern Governor) who appointed by the King of
Portugal to serve for 3 to 4 years
7. In 1641, the Portuguese were finally defeated by local forces from
Johor, with the help of the Dutch/Holland

During its rule, the
Portuguese
implemented
several trade
administrative
systems:
1. Trading vessels
were required to pay
to a mandatory tax
of 6-10% of their
total income
2. Every
trader had to
have a trading
pass to be
allowed to
trade at the
port
3. The Portuguese
monopolized the
main trade items,
buying them at
low prices, but
selling them at
highly inflated
price
4. The Muslim
traders were
discriminated
against
39. DUTCH OCCUPATION
1. In 1559, the first Dutch expedition reached the Malay Archipelago.
2. Thus, more Dutch expeditions became interested in the Malay
Archipelago with the intention to obtain spices, nutmegs and cloves
3. The successful nature of the trade encouraged Dutch traders to form
the United East Indies Company, on 20 March 1602
4. The main behind the formation of the United East Indies Company
was to control the spice trade in the Malay Archipelago and to
monopolize the tin trade
39
Matapelajaran Pengajian Umum (MPU)
MPU3173 PENGAJIAN
MALAYSIA 3
40. 5. To achieve this, the Dutch were eager to remove the Portuguese who
were actively trading in the region
6. In 1619, the Dutch succeeded in taking control of Batavia, in the
island of Java
7. Batavia was then made into a trading port as an alternative port for
traders all over the world
8. This eventually caused the decline in popularity of the Portuguese
port in Melaka
40
Matapelajaran Pengajian Umum (MPU)
MPU3173 PENGAJIAN
MALAYSIA 3
41. 9. The Dutch repeatedly launched attacks on Melaka to ensure that the
Portuguese presence in South-East Asia would be wiped out completely
10. They also wanted to destroy the Melaka Port and attract foreign
traders to Batavia
11. In 1641, the Dutch, with the help of the Johor government, finally
succeeded in driving out the Portuguese from Melaka
12. The lesson to be learnt here is that Johor never did get any benefits
from the Dutch in terms of monetary reimbursement or land
41
Matapelajaran Pengajian Umum (MPU)
MPU3173 PENGAJIAN
MALAYSIA 3
42. 13. The Johor Sultanate only gained revenge on the Portuguese who
took over their ancestral lands in Melaka
14. Johor also emerged as a trading port that could compete with the
Dutch in Batavia
15. Whilst occupying Melaka, the Dutch were said to have accumulated
500 thousand pounds of tin from the Malay States (Melaka, Perak and
Selangor) during the 17th-18th century
16. The tin trade flourished during this era
17. Chinese traders wanted tin from the Malay Peninsula as it was easier
to get tin here, compared to the West
42
Matapelajaran Pengajian Umum (MPU)
MPU3173 PENGAJIAN
MALAYSIA 3
43. BRITISH OCCUPATION
1. British traders made their appearance in the Malay Archipelago as
early as the 17th century
2. However, they disappeared when British pulled out of the Ambon
Islands in 1675
3. Even in the second decade of the 18th century, their numbers were
dwindling/decreasing
4. Around the 1730s, more and more British traders returned to the
Malay States as a result of the expansion of trade activities in South-
East Asia at that time
43
Matapelajaran Pengajian Umum (MPU)
MPU3173 PENGAJIAN
MALAYSIA 3
44. 5. In Selangor, Sultan Ibrahim was one of the first who had trade
relations with the British traders, even though British ships had already
arrived during his father’s reign (in 1761, 4 ships from the British
Empire arrived in Selangor)
44
Matapelajaran Pengajian Umum (MPU)
MPU3173 PENGAJIAN
MALAYSIA 3
45. BRITISH INTERVENTION IN
MALAY STATES
1.On the whole, the British intervention in the Malay States was the result of
the following factors:
a) Economic Incentives
The British wanted to monopolized trade in Malay States, particularly of
tin. They were successful because the Malay States were in conflict
The industrial revolution in the middle of the 19th century in Europe
started the production of canned food. All more, this prompted the
British Empire to desire monopoly of the tin trade
45
Matapelajaran Pengajian Umum (MPU)
MPU3173 PENGAJIAN
MALAYSIA 3
46. b) Political factors
In the early 19th century, Britain was still strongly influenced by liberal
policies and laissez-faire trade. i.e overseas policies
Besides British, other western powers, such as the Dutch in Indonesia, the
French in Indo-China, Italians, Russians, and Germans, were also
expending their territories
Without British political control and intervention in the local
administration, other parties would easily enter the market through
friendship and good relations with the Malay Sultans
46
Matapelajaran Pengajian Umum (MPU)
MPU3173 PENGAJIAN
MALAYSIA 3
47. THE RESIDENT SYSTEM
1. The Resident System became the strategy used by the British to assume
complete control over the Malay States
2. With the implementation of the Resident System, the British now had
complete control over the Malay States in all aspects, especially
administration and economy, without bearing the costs and responsibilities
involved
3. This was also the case in the Straits Settlements
4. Through the Resident System, the British ruled through existing political
institutions which even retained their names
5. Residents also hoped to use these institutions and gradually change them
47
Matapelajaran Pengajian Umum (MPU)
MPU3173 PENGAJIAN
MALAYSIA 3
48. 6. When examined, the Resident system had three objectives, each beneficial to
British
7. These objectives were to maintain peace through legal provisions, create
organized civil administration and tax collection systems, and exploit the natural
resources of the Malay States
8. However, the Resident system itself was not systematic. British officers who
became Residents did not have the proper guidelines to achieve the
aforementioned objectives
9. The Resident needed to be smart, cunning and discrete (separate) without
expecting too much help from the British government
48
Matapelajaran Pengajian Umum (MPU)
MPU3173 PENGAJIAN
MALAYSIA 3
49. 10. The British government also wanted to make sure that the system
was not a liability to them
11. Therefore, when the appointments of these Residents were
announced, it was always made clear that the allowances and salary of
these Residents would be paid fully by the Malay States
12. The Resident system was not unified from the start and the
Residents had to make decisions using their own discretion (carefulness)
13. At first, difficulty in communicating with the Governors of the Strait
Settlements and problems unique to each state led to the Residents given
full power over how to handle the administration of the state
49
Matapelajaran Pengajian Umum (MPU)
MPU3173 PENGAJIAN
MALAYSIA 3
50. 14. Residents were expected to maintain peace, collect taxes and develop the
state’s natural resources without being told how to do so
15. It naturally followed that the Residents became the ‘true’ rulers of the states
16. They met the Governor up to seven times a year, and often consulted the
Governor on matters without seeking the views of the Sultan and the local
ministers first
17. The Residents were seen as restricting the rights of the local ministers to
collect taxes
50
Matapelajaran Pengajian Umum (MPU)
MPU3173 PENGAJIAN
MALAYSIA 3
51. 18. The Residents also postponed state council meetings
19. The Governor of the Straits Settlement could not control the power
of these Residents due to lack of communication
20. With him being based in Singapore, the Governor lacked
information to make proper decisions
21. To make matters worse, he himself was not interested in the affairs
of the Malay States
22. The Residents who were all powerful did not work well with the
Sultans and the local ministers
51
Matapelajaran Pengajian Umum (MPU)
MPU3173 PENGAJIAN
MALAYSIA 3
52. 23. In Perak, anger towards the Resident culminated in the murder of
the first Perak Resident, J.W.W. Birch, in 1875
24. This was caused by the Residents not having proper guidelines,
acting on their own accord, for their own interests
25. To regain the support of the local community, the British in Perak
introduced the State Council
27. This council consisted of Rajas, Residents, Malay ministers and
Chinese representatives. The formation of this council successfully
restored the situation in Perak. The British soon introduced it in other
states
52

53. EFFECTS OF THE RESIDENT SYSTEM
1) Development of the state economy
the states that were in the system started to develop as a result of the
active investment in the tin industries, as well as in coffee and rubber
plantations
as more and more labourers came to work in these modern economic
sectors, the settlements started developing and expanding, eventually
becoming cities
however, there were often inconsistencies in the distribution of wealth
between states and territories or areas within the state itself
natural resources and economic produce were monopolized by Western
investors, while the locals were left far behind

absolute power, and ministers lost the major roles they played
before
the formation of the State Council involved more factions in state
affairs, but it did restore peace to many areas

The term “nationalism” is generally used to describe two
phenomena:
the attitude that the members of a nation have when they care
about their national identity, and
the actions that the members of a nation take when seeking to
achieve (or sustain) self-determination.

formation and even supported the actions taken by the Brunei People’s
Party that had voiced out their protests on 8 December 1962

101. 7. But two days later, the President claimed that the Federation of Malaysia
was being formed to make sure that the British domination upon rubber, tin
ore and oil in the regions involved continued to last
8. The diplomatic relations between the Federation of Malaya and Indonesia
were badly affected
9. Researchers claim that there were several factors that contributed to this
opposition.
First, Sukarno felt Tunku Abdul Rahman had turned his back against his
largest neighbor when Tunku made the announcement without first consulting
him (Sukarno)
Second, the formation of Malaysia was believed to have failed to Sukarno’s
plans to set up the empire of Indonesia Raya
101

102. 10. The confrontation spread by Indonesia came to such a pitch that the
involvement of the military was imminent
The Indonesian Army had acted by attacking the territories bordering
Sabah and Sarawak
An army was even sent to the west coast of Johore on the purpose of
spying
A few measures had taken by the Federation of Malaya and the British
government to overcome the dispute; for example, the establishment of
MAPHILINDO.
Although Malaysia was still on the way to being formed, protests from
Indonesia continued to prevail even after Malaysia was established
102

Philippines’Ambassador in London dated 24 May 1962, that any demands that they
made towards Sabah either from the Philippines government or individuals would be
opposed by the British government
5. President Macapagal openly criticized the formation of Malaysia during the
Philippines’ Congress on 28 January 1963
6. This event soured the diplomatic relations between the Federation of Malaya and the
Philippines
7. Although the Philippines continued their demands even after Malaysia was set up, it
was all in vain due to the fact that studies clearly showed how the Sabahans themselves
had been willing to join in the formation of Malaysia

Brunei State Meeting Council to state a protest by the Brunei People’s Party

this provoked the anger of the Brunei People’s Party
4. at the peak of this opposition, the Brunei People’s Party started an armed riot on 8
December 1962 towards the Brunei Government itself so that it would decline participation
5. in the meantime, Indonesia had openly supported the actions taken by the Brunei People’s
Party and the party was also assisted by the Communist Party of Indonesia
6. This riot was successfully defeated by the Brunei government with the help of the British
government and Federation of Malaya.
7. However, this event resulted in making Tunku Abdul Rahman realize that Brunei’s entry
might bring a lot of political problems. Therefore, Brunei’s association into Malaysia was
cancelled

109. THE ISSUE OF SINGAPORE
1. Before the formation of Malaysia, Lee Kuan Yew had affirmed that
although Singapore had agreed to join Malaysia, matters contained
in the affiliation must be determined together with the people of the
Singapore themselves

comfort and convenience after the affiliation took place
3. On 23 August 1961, an official meeting was held between Singapore
and the Federation of Malaya and they came to an agreement on
