    New Straits Times, Kuala Lumpur A country born of a shaky idea BY MICHAEL LEIGH - 11 SEPTEMBER 2014 @ 8:12 AM FIFTY-three years ago, in May 1961, the prime minister of Malaya proposed the idea of a greater Malaysia. Important United Kingdom cabinet records indicate just how contingent was that idea, and indeed, the shaky premises upon which the new nationhood was based. In 1961, the region was in flux. Communism was gaining strength throughout much of Southeast Asia in the wake of the emergence of a confident “new” China. The Malayan Emergency had been won, as had the Korean War, but Vietnamese communism was growing ever stronger, as was the party in Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines. The rhetoric of Indonesian President Soekarno stressed the inevitable triumph of the new emerging forces (Nefos) over the old established forces (Oldefos) — that were made up of “neo-colonial” nations, such as Malaya and colonial remnants, such as Brunei, Sarawak and Singapore and British North Borneo (Sabah). The immediate issues for Great Britain were what to do about Singapore, and how to de-colonise its remaining possessions in Southeast Asia. London wanted to get the United Nations and the non-aligned movement off their backs, whilst retaining economic links with Britain’s most profitable colonies. Tunku Abdul Rahman, independent Malaya’s prime minister, was a very reluctant player.
