Malaysian ringgit users

The Malaysian ringgit is the currency of Malaysia which is a federal constitutional monarchy in Southeast Asia. 

The Federation of Malaysia was established on September 16, 1963 with the members of Malaya, North Borneo, Sarawak and Singapore which were all independent from the United Kingdom. Their independence date was Malaya on August 31, 1957, Sarawak on July 22, 1963, and North Borneo (Sabah) and Singapore both on August 31, 1963. Singapore left the federation and became an independent country on August 9, 1965. Present Malaysia consists of two similarly sized regions, Peninsular Malaysia or West Malaysia (formerly Malaya) and Malaysian Borneo or East Malaysia (formerly Sarawak and North Borneo<Sabah>).
