years ago
Hindu Kingdoms
100 BC - 1400 AD
First Indians were lured to the Malay Peninsula and arrived
in Kedah sometime around 100 BC, Indian traders arrived

Malacca was founded in 1400
by a fleeing Palembang
prince named Parameswara.

took over Melaka in 1795
British colonised the peninsula when tin and rubber were
discovered and developed, British also brought large numbers
of Indians into the country, altering the peninsula's racial mix.

Brunei and the North Borneo Company administered Sabah
from 1882. Britain took formal control of both Sabah and
Sarawak after WWII.

Asian Financial Crisis:
Malaysia has been seriously affected by the Asian financial crisis with GDP
shrinking by 7.5 per cent by the end of 1998. The decline in output was mostly
observed in the construction, manufacturing and agricultural sectors. The Ringgit
depreciated by 56 per cent and the stock market fell by 50 per cent between
mid-1997 and January 1998.
The financial crisis had cost Malaysia about US$50 billion in terms of purchasing
power of imports and US$150 billion in market capitalisation.
Several Government-funded mega-projects were put on hold following the
implementation of the National Economic Recovery Plan (NERP), drawn up by
the National Economic Action Council (NEAC), to counter the negative effects
of the Ringgit depreciation and the collapse of the stock market.
