About one year before Merdeka, preparations were made to have a Constitution for the Federation of Malaya. A commission was formed headed by Lord Reid. This commission studied numerous memoranda, petitions, letters, etc. The panel met many people and interested parties including political parties and the nine Malay Sultans. This blog will report on the workings of the commission, the meetings with the public where they made their representations, etc.
