Malay land
The term 'Malay land' (locally known as Tanah Melayu) used as a political term in 1957 known as Persekutuan Tanah Melayu by Malay people in the Malay Peninsula to denotes the formation of Malaya Federation which had the mission to become one of the British allies. In 1963, Singapore also join the Federation of Malaya, but due to Malay people habits that always create a conflict with another group entities (in this case, racism against Chinese community), Singapore eventually cancelled their decision and became an independent and sovereign nation in 1965, hence the Malaya Federation renamed themselves as 'Malaysia'.
