State, Sabah, Sarawak and Singapore. Malaysia established to form political

cooperation, economy and block communist influence. On august 1965, Singapore

further appeared from Malaysia in order to be a republic (arkid.gov.com). After

protection to keep their interest such as law, services, custom such as are included in

Federal Constitution Malaysia. Culture and Sarawak faith is different from

peninsular Malaysia and rich with natural resources such as forest and petroleum.
