In 1957, Malaya became an independent country and the airline was then restruc tured into a public limited company in 1958, owned by the Federation of Malaya and Singapore, Borneo Airways, BOAC and Qantas. With the formation of Malaysia in 1963, the airline was renamed Malaysian Airways in November that year. On the separation of Singapore from the Federation of Malaysia on August 9,1965, the governments of Malaysia and Singapore took over majority control of the airline from BOAC and the other shareholders. Within the year the airline became known as Malaysia-Singapore Airlines (MSA). On April 3,1971, a split in MSA led to the incorporation of Malaysian Airline System Berhad (MAS).
