00:00The Malaysian Federation was founded on the premise that the real power lies in the unity of all its regions, said Dr. Mahathir Mohamad and Dr. Razali Hamzah.

00:12A federation gives strength to the state. The state by itself will not be very strong.

00:21And from the very beginning, we decided that we should have a federation of many states.

00:30Veteran UMNO leader Tengku Razali, who served under four Prime Ministers, said one of the main concerns of the British when they wanted to withdraw from the region they were in, was the safety of the long-term prospects of the countries.

00:45Can you imagine the amount of money that we have to spend if there is going to be a breakup?

00:52Can you imagine each country having to spend, build up a new navy, new air force, new this, new that? What are you going to do?

01:05Meanwhile, Putrajaya increased the efforts of Malaysian defences with naval and air bases in Sarawak to maintain its borders in the face of increasing tensions in the South China Sea.

01:19However, when defence spending increased, countries also demanded more financial control.

01:24Penang and Johor Islands have tried to regain at least 20% of the federal tax revenue from their countries, while Kelantan, Terengganu, Sabah and Sarawak demand a larger portion of oil royalties.

01:39Sarawak took steps under the National Law to take over the role of gas aggregator from Petronas, bringing to the CAKAP-CAKAP to leave the alliance if their request is not fulfilled.

01:52Mahathir described the CAKAP-CAKAP as a waste, linking it to half-bribe and forcing all parties to reject Ansur so that the alliance is complete.

02:02Maybe thinking along that line, but a federation gives strength to the state.
