The Reasons of Establishment of Malayan Union

Malayan Union was established by the British government after the World War II to make the British governor run the management of every state in Tanah Melayu smoothly. This is because, after the World War II, officer in Tanah Melayu having a difficulty in managing their country as many parties want to interrupt the government of Tanah Melayu and because of this, the British established Malayan Union in Tanah Melayu. 

The British wanted to save the cost of administration of each state as the British lost a lot in the World War II and rule the Malay Peninsula as one government. This idea actually was first brought by British officer, Sir Harold Mac Michael on October 1945. Moreover, this idea was supported by the British government and because of his idea, the Malayan Union was established in Tanah Melayu.

However, this idea also was a good idea as it actually wanted to give a freedom to the citizen to learn and apply how to conduct their own government. The British want to train the society of Tanah Melayu especially Malays people how to conduct and manage their own country without need help from the other parties.

The proposal of Malayan Union was approved on 22 January 1946
