No, there isn't.  The person pulling up Wikipedia should have looked at the last line of the first paragraph.\n\n"It is not an independent state."

Generally, Malaysia has a government that implement policies  beneficial to all. \nDuring festivals, we have an open house culture whereby friends of different races visit each others homes enjoying the interaction as well as the different foods served. Many of us have close or good friends of other races. There are also quite a number of inter-racial marriages. We also have this spirit of co-operation & goodwill among us.\n \nWhen there is racial harmony among the different people groups, it makes it easier for a nation to prosper. This has happened & has allowed the government to focus on prospering the nation. Our main political party is made up of 3 major racial groups whose leaders hold ministerial positions in the  government.\n \nOur previous Prime Minister was also a man of great vision for this country and our nation rose up because of policies implemented during his tenure.\n\nThe different religious groups here also pray & sometimes come together to pray for the continual peace & prosperity of this nation.

If you want to label Pakistan as a terrorist state, please also include the US for their support to the Mujaheddin during the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan and their support for Israel in Palestine. Please also include India for their support to East Pakistan (Bangladesh) during the 1971 crises. An irony of history is that the winning side is always the one to decide who the terrorists are. In Pakistan's case, that question has not been decided as yet so lets not get hasty with our conclusions!\n\nIf you are comparing the leadership of Pakistan with Saddam Hussain's leadership, I am sorry, but either you are trying to exaggerate an issue out of proportion or you have no idea what you are talking about. Its because of thinking like this why peace can never be achieved. Why not engage your time constructively rather than by trying (and failing miserably) to create rifts?

Yes, he does. The Revolution (by Andres Bonifacio) resulted our Independence, and the Revolution was caused by Rizal's Noli and Fili. As far as I read, Rizal is the Philippines' Mahatma Gandhi.

The Federation of Malaysia is a federation of 13 states in Southeast Asia, formed in 1963.\n\nThe country consists of two geographical regions divided by the South China Sea:\n\nWest Malaysia (or Peninsular Malaysia) on the Malay Peninsula shares a land border on the north with Thailand and is connected by the Johor-Singapore Causeway and the Malaysia-Singapore Second Link on the south with Singapore. It consist of the 11 states Johor, Kedah, Kelantan, Malacca, Negeri Sembilan, Pahang, Perak, Perlis, Penang, Selangor and Terengganu, and the two federal territories Putrajaya and Kuala Lumpur. \nEast Malaysia occupies the northern part of the island of Borneo, bordering Indonesia and the Sultanate of Brunei. It consists of the federal territory of Labuan islands and the states of Sabah and Sarawak. \nThe Malay Peninsula has long benefited from its central position in the maritime trade routes between China and the Middle East. Ptolemy showed it on his early map with a label that translates as "Golden Chersonese", the Straits of Malacca as "Sinus Sabaricus".\n\nThe earliest recorded Malay kingdoms grew from coastal city-ports established in the 10th century AD. These include Langkasuka and Lembah Bujang in Kedah, as well as Beruas and Gangga Negara in Perak and Pan Pan in Kelantan. It is thought that originally these were Hindu or Buddhist nations. The first evidence of Islam in the Malay peninsula dates from the 14th century in Terengganu.\n\nIn the early 15th century, the Sultanate of Malacca was established under a dynasty founded by Parameswara, a prince from Palembang, who fled from the island Temasek (now Singapore). Parameswara decided to establish his kingdom in Malacca after witnessing an astonishing incident where a white mouse deer kicked one of his hunting dogs. With Malacca as its capital, the sultanate controlled the areas which are now Peninsula Malaysia, southern Thailand (Patani), and the eastern coast of Sumatra. It existed for more than a century, and within that time period Islam spread to most of the Malay Archipelago. Malacca was the foremost trading port at the time in Southeast Asia.\n\nIn 1511, Malacca was conquered by Portugal, which established a colony there. The sons of the last sultan of Malacca established two sultanates elsewhere in the peninsula - the Sultanate of Perak to the north, and the Sultanate of Johor (originally a continuation of the old Malacca sultanate) to the south. After the fall of Malacca, three nations struggled for the control of Malacca Strait: the Portuguese (in Malacca), the Sultanate of Johor, and the Sultanate of Aceh. This conflict went on till 1641, when the Dutch (allied to the Sultanate of Johor) gained control of Malacca.\n\nBritain established its first colony in the Malay peninsula in 1786, with the granting of the island of Penang to the British East India Company by the Sultan of Kedah. In 1824, the British took control of Malacca following the Anglo-Dutch Treaty of 1824 which divided the Malaya archipelago between Britain and the Netherlands, with Malaya in the British zone. In 1826, Britain established the crown colony of the Straits Settlements, uniting its three possessions in Malaya: Penang, Malacca and Singapore. The Straits Settlements were administered under the East India Company in Calcutta until 1867, when they were transferred to the Colonial Office in London.\nDuring the late 19th century, many Malay states decided to obtain British help in settling their internal conflicts. The commercial importance of tin mining in the Malay states to merchants in the Straits Settlemens led to British government intervention in the tin-producing states in the Malay Peninsula. British gunboat diplomacy was employed to bring about a peaceful resolution to civil disturbances caused by Chinese gangsters, and the Pangkor Treaty of 1874 paved the way for the expansion of British influence in Malaya. By the turn of the 20th century the states of Pahang,

It would be the prime minister.  If I remember correctly Jamaica is a former British colony and still has the Queen of England as it's head of "state", while the PM is the head of "government."

It seems Malaysia - which has generally been practicing tolerance in the past - has joined the league of intolerant societies.  It is really, really sad.\n\ncc

Malaysia is NOT better without Singapore, but Singapore IS better without Malaysia.\nMalaysia had a chance to become a better country in the early '60s, when Lee Kuan Yew and the PAP were rallying the minorities of Malaysia to stand up and be counted.  But then, what did the Tunku do but tell S'pore that it had to go its own way...\nNow look at the two countries.  Everyone in S'pore, no matter what their race, stands equal before the law, has an equal chance for success, and lives in prosperity.  Malaysia has rampant poverty, and still to this day discriminates in favor of the Malay majority while marginalizing minority groups.  These are not characteristics of a civilized nation.\nSo, ask yourself: Who is better without whom?\n...but then again, I'm just an ignorant foreigner...right?
