The thesis examines Malaysia's economic development through three historical phases. It begins with the rapid industrial growth fueled by natural resources from the mid-19th century to 1914. The analysis then shifts to the volatility experienced between the World Wars, highlighting the instability of resource-based industries. Finally, it addresses the post-1945 era, focusing on industry consolidation, resource rationalization, and economic diversification. This comprehensive study offers insights into the evolution of Malaysia's economy and its historical context.
