The history of Malay national unity institutions

1945, after World War II, Britain returned to Malaya (present-day Malaysia Peninsula) to continue to rule its colony. Later, in order to integrate British Malaya, the British colonial government announced the establishment of the Malayan Federation on April 1946. Due to the proposal of the Malayan Federation Plan, Malays who have always regarded the British as "protectors" feel betrayed and regard it as the annexation of Malaya. In particular, the planned relaxed immigration policy and the proposal to open citizenship to immigrants with a large population at that time (such as Chinese and Indians) made them feel anxious about the status of Malayan indigenous people.

Under this circumstance, the Pan-Malay National Congress led by the Johor Peninsula Malay Movement and the Selangor Malay Association was held in Kuala Lumpur on March 1946. At the second meeting on May 1 1, "UMNO" was formally established and actively opposed the Malayan Federation Plan. Datuk Weng Jiahua, one of the founders at that time, was elected as the first chairman. However, in 195 1, Weng Huajian's proposal to open UMNO membership to non-Malays was rejected. He left UMNO and was replaced by Tengku Abdul Rahman. After leaving UMNO, Weng Huayao founded the Malayan Independence Party (IMP).

Since the independence of 1957 from Britain, UMNO has occupied a majority in the Alliance/BN, so the party chairman is the Prime Minister. 1969, the alliance led by Tengku abdul rahman suffered setbacks in the national election, and ethnic riots broke out in May13. Under the pressure of Malay nationalists in the party, Abdullah Tarmugl Sa gave way in 1970, and Abdullah Tarmugl Sa died in London, England in June 1976, and was succeeded by his deputy Hussein Onn 65438. Mahadi abdicated in 2003, and was succeeded by his designated successor Abdullah Badawi, who had served as party chairman and prime minister for 22 years. After losing the general election in 2008, Badawi abdicated and was replaced by Naji Abdullah Tarmugl.
