Straits Settlements, a former British colony, consisted of Malacca, Penang, Singapore, Labuan, Cocos Island and Christmas Island. Cocos Island and Christmas Island were ceded to Australia in 1955 and 1958 respectively. Penang and Malacca became the Federation of Malaya in 1957, and together with Labuan formed Malaysia in 1963. Singapore was made part of Malaysia in 1963-65, and became an independent republic in 1965.
