Sarawak

The Sarawak United People's Party (SUPP) was formed in 1959 and was strongly backed by the anti-colonial independence movement. The people's opposition to the 'Malaysia' concept was unanimously shown in the hundreds of rallies and demonstrations that were held despite propaganda and rigged referenda (like the Cob-bold Commission and the UN assessment). SUPP leaders were thrwon into jail and the farcical commission declared the people were in favour of the plan, under the coercion of British armed forces at its door step!
