Which period in the history of your country do you
find most inspiring? Discuss the features in that
period which appeal to you most.
Malaysia, my country, has a very short history compared
with that of most of the other countries of South-east Asia.
The historical events that occurred here before the
fifteenth century are still obscure. Yet many interesting
developments have taken place in the last few centuries.
New sultanates were established by fugitive rulers; parts
of the country were occupied by Europeans of different

the result of leaving many parts of the country out of
Japanese control. In these areas, therefore, the anti-
Japanese elements of all races were very active. They
emerged from the jungle and tried to exploit the subdued
discontent of the people against Japanese rule, which was
marked by brutality of the people against Japanese rule,
which was marked by brutality and extreme poverty and
hardship. They also organized resistance groups. Even
the members of the police force, who owed mominal
loyalty to the Japanese government, cooperated with the
discontented elements. These efforts of the anti-Japanese
