*HISTORY OF SFTMA*

Selangor & Federal Territory Malayalee Association (SFTMA) formerly known
as Kerala Samajam Selangor (KSS) was one of the earliest Malayalee
organizations to be registered on 18th November 1952 in Malaysia. Mr. P.N.
Pillai was the first President of this organisation.

The formation of KSS now known as Selangor & Federal Territory Malayalee
Association (SFTMA) was to cater to the social and cultural needs of
Malayalees in Selangor and the Federal Territory. Malayalees hailed from
the then States of Travancore, Cochin and Malabar in South India, now
called Kerala, with a language of their own called Malayalam. Malayalees
have their own traditions and culture and celebrate the festival called
Onam, irrespective of their social or religious differences.
