The Comet.
Malayan Airways became Malaysian Airlines Limited with the formation of Malaysia in 1963. The name changed again to Malaysia-Singapore Airlines (MSA) when the Government of Malaysia and Singapore jointly acquired majority control of Malaysian Airways Limited. Many new destinations were added such as Perth, Sydney, Taipei,Tokyo, Madras and Colombo. The airlines expanded rapidly as Singapore became an important hub in the aviation traffic between Sydney and London.
