Malaysia Agreement
The Malaysia Agreement or the Agreement relating to Malaysia between United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Federation of Malaya, North Borneo, Sarawak and Singapore was the agreement which combined North Borneo, Sarawak, and Singapore with the existing Federation of Malaya, the resulting union being named Malaysia.〔''See'': The UK Statute Law Database: the Acts of the Parliament of the United Kingdom (Malaysia Act 1963 )〕〔''See'': The UK Statute Law Database: the Acts of the Parliament of the United Kingdom (Federation of Malaya Independence Act 1957 (c. 60) )〕 Singapore later ceased to be a part of Malaysia, becoming an independent state on 9 August 1965.〔''See'': the (Independence of Singapore Agreement 1965 ) and the Acts of the Parliament of the United Kingdom (Singapore Act 1966 ).〕
==Background==
The Malayan Union was established by the British Malaya and comprised the Federated Malay States of Perak, Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, Pahang; the Unfederated Malay States of Kedah, Perlis, Kelantan, Terengganu, Johor; and the Straits Settlements of Penang and Malacca. It came into being in 1946, through a series of agreements between the United Kingdom and Malayan Union.〔''See'': Cabinet Memorandum by the Secretary of State for the Colonies. 21 February 1956 (Federation of Malaya Agreement )〕 The Malayan Union was superseded by the Federation of Malaya on 1 February 1948, and achieved independence within the Commonwealth of Nations on 31 August 1957.〔
After the end of the Second World War, decolonisation became the societal goal of the peoples under colonial regimes aspiring to achieve self-determination hereinafter, the ''Special Committee on Decolonisation'' (also known as the ''U.N. Special Committee of the 24 on Decolonisation'', It reflected in the United Nations General Assembly's proclamation on 14 December 1960 of the Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples hereinafter, the Committee of 24, or simply, the ''Decolonisation Committee'') was established in 1961 by the General Assembly of the United Nations with the purpose of monitoring implementation of the Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples and to make recommendations on its application.〔''See'': (the United Nations Special Committee on Decolonisation - Official Website )〕 The committee is also a successor to the former Committee on Information from Non-Self-Governing Territories. Hoping to speed the progress of decolonisation, the General Assembly had adopted in 1960 the Resolution 1514, also known as the "Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples" or simply "Declaration on Decolonisation". It stated that all people have a right to self-determination and proclaimed that colonialism should be brought to a speedy and unconditional end.〔''See'': (History of U.N. Decolonisation Committee - Official U.N. Website )〕
Under the Malaysia Agreement signed between Great Britain and the Federation of Malaya, Britain would enact an Act to relinquish sovereign control over Singapore, Sarawak and North Borneo (now Sabah). This was accomplished through the enactment of the Malaysia Act 1963, clause 1(1) of which states that on Malaysia Day, ''Her Majesty’s sovereignty and jurisdiction in respect of the new states shall be relinquished so as to vest in the manner agreed''〔''See'': Section 1(1), Malaysia Act 1963, Chapter 35 (UK).〕
