The formation of nationalist-religious country in Malaysia

After independence, attempts to reconstruct the history of ancient Malaysia recorded by colonial scholars have been made. However, there is still a less impressive explanation. Therefore, the following studies examine the history of the Malay community in a new interpretation. The method used in this research is phenomenological. With this method, it was found that the process of Malaysian independence in 1957 did not take place in a short time by the British and their elites but required a long time, and sacrifices were not small. Starting from the scholars' awareness about Malay nationalism itself, which unfortunately has been forgotten or its role has been closed by historical writers.
