Malaysia Day is held on September 16 every year to commemorate the establishment of the Malaysian federation on the same date in 1963. It marked the joining together of Malaya North Borneo Sarawak and Singapore to form Malaysia. The formation of the new federation was planned to occur on June 1 1963 but was later postponed to August 31 1963 in order to coincide with the sixth Hari Merdeka.
