Malaysia Day 2012 marks the day that Malaya, Singapore, North Borneo, and Sarawak unified to form Malaysia on September 16, 1953. It should not be confused with Malaysian Independence Day (Hari Merdeka), which is on August 31 and marks the day when Malaysia gained its freedom from the British. The unification of Malay was actually supposed to take place on August 31, 1953 but was delayed to September because of opposition from the nearby nations like the Philippines and Indonesia. In 2010, Malaysia Day was declared a public federal holiday.
