17 To arrest the declining Malayan economy and to prepare for the independence of Malaya as a new political entity, the governments of the Federation of Malaya, the Crown Colony of Singapore, and the United Kingdom requested the International Bank (the World Bank) for a commission to investigate and make recommendations. The Commission’s report in 1955 pointed out that the existing Malayan economy could not sustain the population growth after the independence, and recommended restructuring of the Malayan economy.

One hundred years ago, the Malayan Chinese community was an appendix to the British colonial society, but now it becomes an important integral part of an independent Malaysia. Although the Chinese community had gone through a rugged road with many twists and turns, they would have to learn from history that only with the unity and adherence to the spirit of Chinese culture can the community tide over crises arising from an uncharted course. Malaysia is a multiracial and multicultural society that is striving toward the goal of building an advanced industrial nation.
