In short, if we take consideration of the above arguments on the reading of POINT 7, the FEDERATION OF MALAYSIA should politely been told.

The base word for Malaya derives from the word Malayin English, or Melayu in Malay, which are the native inhabitants of the land.

On 9th August 1965,Singapore seceded from the federation.
