Singapore In Malaysia
Singapore ( ms, Singapura), officially the State of Singapore ( ms, Negeri Singapura), was one of the 14 states of Malaysia from 1963 to 1965. Malaysia was formed on 16 September 1963 by the merger of the Federation of Malaya with the former British colonies of North Borneo, Sarawak and Singapore.
