Abstract
In 2014 Malaysia celebrated its fifty-seventh year of independence but many
people in East Malaysia, however, were not celebrating. Why?
The official date, 31 August, is the date of independence for Malaya in 1957
but not the Malaysian Federation. The fact is that the Federation of Malaysia
was proclaimed on 16 September 1963 and the Federation of Malaysia is
fifty-one years old, not fifty-seven. This simple fact is often ignored by Kuala
Lumpur/Putrajaya,1 much to the annoyance of East Malaysians. This chapter
lays out some of the main issues surrounding the often unhappy relationship
between East Malaysia and Putrajaya since independence and the resentment
held by Sabahans and Sarawakians towards Malaya.
