In History, KL was belonged to the state of Selangor. But during the 1969 (MAY 13), Barisan Nasional lost its majority in Selangor to opposition. This has caused the MAY 13 riot. There were riots spreading the whole KL. It was a tragedy, indeed.
Until now, many people believed that the ruling government (UMNO) were the leaders in charged of organizing the riots in Kuala Lumpur which was back in 1969. But believe me, there were much conspiracies behind it.
The Federal Territory includes Putrajaya, Kuala Lumpur and Labuan, which is now governed by the federal government of Malaysia.
Date of states made in to Federal Territory:
- Putrajaya: 1 Febuary 2001
- Kuala Lumpur: 1 Febuary 1974
- Labuan: 16 April 1984
I would like to briefly explain about 1Malaysia. There is this 1Malaysia campaign created by the governments. 1Malaysia means union, everyone together.... The Indians, the Chinese and the Malays will be united together. This is a campaign that all Malaysians must take part because without us taking part, it would just be nothing.
The Malaysian car manufacturer, Proton. Rumors state that the government has increased the tax to encourage the nations to buy Proton (NATION CARS). Is that true? I have no idea.... But I'm pretty sure that this is related to politics.
Do you know about 15Malaysia? The campaign? 15Malaysia is a campaign which consists 15 videos of different stories that happened in Malaysia. These videos are all related to the Malaysian cultures. I have watched them and thought that 'Healthy Paranoia' is the best video of all. Have you seen our cigarette boxes? You could see either dead babies, infected feet, lung cancer and diseased throats on it. Who's idea was it? You better ask the minister of health, who is the creative one behind all these. This is the video.... for your reference.
