Malaysia Day is celebrated on September 16 every year to commemorate the establishment of Malaysian federation on the same date in 1963. The formation of the new federation was planned to occur on August 31 1963 in order to coincide with the sixth Hari Merdeka. Several issues related to the Indonesian and the Filipino objection to the formation of Malaysia delayed the declaration.
