The Malaya Federation 1957 Merdeka FDC issued to commemorate the independence (Merdeka) of the Federation of Malaya on August 31, 1957. 
This was a momentous occasion in Malaysian history, marking the end of British colonial rule.
 Historical Significance of these FDCs are tangible historical artifacts, directly linked to the declaration of independence. They represent a pivotal moment when Malaya officially became a sovereign nation.
  The FDCs feature vertical pair of Tunku Abdul Rahman stamps issued specifically for this independence celebration. These stamps often depict symbols of Malayan identity, progress, or the newly formed nation.
 Prominent figures like Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj (the first Prime Minister of Malaysia) would be highly valuable. Collectors often seek these FDCs to own a piece of Malayan/Malaysian history and philatelic heritage.
