I put the States of Malaysia into groups as shown below because before Malaysia was formed, those States were in such groups which influenced the people of those States and the Malaysia people as a whole. The groups were Straits Settlements (Negeri-negeri Selat), Federation of Malay States (Negeri-negeri Bersekutu), Unfederated Malay States (Negeri-negeri Tak Bersekutu), and Northern Borneo States.

Oh yes, do not forget that Malaysia has three federal territories. The most important one is the capital city of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur which was declared in 1974. The second is Labuan which was declared in 1984. The third is the administrative city of Malaysia, Putrajaya, which was declared in 2001.
Currently, there are no links to Johor, Sabah and Labuan.

The Straits Settlements were territories / possessions of the United Kingdom, being a British crown colony under the rule of Colonial Office in London in 1867 and lasted until 1946. Before 1867, the Straits Settlements were territories of the British East India Company in Southeast Asia. Straits Settlements consisted of Penang (also known as Prince of Wales Island), Malacca, Singapore and some small islands along Straits of Malacca.
Singapore is in history of Malaya and Malaysia but as Singapore (left Malaysia in 1965) is not part of Malaysia now, I will not put Singapore in this page.

There were four states in this federation. They were Perak, Selangor, Negeri Sembilan and Pahang. This Federation of Malay States was formed by the British Government in 1895, agreed by the Ruler / Sultan of the four states and lasted until 1946. Treaty of Federation was signed on 01st July 1896 by the four Sultans. The Federation of Malay States officially became a protectorate of Great Britain with the Sultans having to give up their political power in their states to the British. The power was given to the Resident-General and later was known as the Chief Secretary of the Federation. The individual states was still ruled by the Sultan but was advised by a State Council headed by a Resident from United Kingdom.
