TOKOH-TOKOH THE FUTURE OF MALAYSIA

HISTORY OF MALAYSIA FREDOOMThe voice of the demands of independence has long been heard. Unfortunately after Japan surrendered on August 15, 1945 when Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombed, the British colonizers returned to Malaya with the intention of making Malaya a colony. In Malaya, the formal transfer of power by Japan to the UK was made at Victoria Institution, Kuala Lumpur on 22 February 1946. The UK introduced the Malayan Union which gave equal rights in particular to issues of citizenship to all residents irrespective of their race and their loyalty to the country.
The Federal Agreement signed by the Rulers on January 21, 1948 succeeded in restoring Malaya to the Malay dialect; sovereignty of kings, privileges and citizenship rights.
The Malayan Union was a loser and neglected the rights of the Malays and bumiputeras as the original inhabitants of the country and undermined the institutions and functions of the Malay Rulers. Hence, the British proposal to introduce the Malayan Union had a great deal of resistance to the whole of the Malays including the Conference of Rulers. Datuk Onn has collected over 200 Malay delegates in the Malayan Malay Congress on 1 - 4 March 1946 at the Sultan Sulaiman Club, Kuala Lumpur. A committee consisting of figures such as Dato Onn Jaafar, Dato Panglima Bukit Gantang, Dato Nik Ahmad Kamil, Dato Hamzah Abdullah and En. Zainal Abidin (Za'ba) was established.
The Congress agreed with the proposal to establish a society called the United Malays National Organization (UMNO) or the United Malays National Organization (PEKEMBAR) to be tabled in the next congress. In the 3rd Malay Malay Broadcasting Congress in Johor Bharu Dato 'Onn Jaafar announced the establishment of UMNO on 11 May 1946. This establishment aims to champion an independent and sovereign Malaya nation, to advance and preserve the interests of the Malays and the people of Malaya and to preserve and defend the religion and Malay customs and institutions of the Malay Rulers.
Their opposition succeeded in altering Malayan Union to the Federal Agreement signed by the Rulers on January 21, 1948 which restored Malaya to the Malay dialect; sovereignty of kings, privileges and citizenship rights. The Malay struggle succeeded in forming the Federation of Malaya which contained 9 Malay states namely. It is headed by a British High Commissioner with executive power and is assisted and advised by the Federal Work Council and the Federal Council.
