The Malayan Forum was an influential political discussion group formed in 1949 by Chinese and Malay university students.[1] The forum held a key role in establishing the contemporary political trajectory of Singapore and Malaysia. Ideologically, the group was spurred by concerns over British colonial rule in the region.
