Amid post-war austerity and fuel shortage, Sir Alec Issigonis turned a crisis into an opportunity through the creative use of space in a small car. Since then, Mini has revolutionised the idea of what an automobile could be. To this day, MINIacs still rave about the go-kart feeling when driving a MINI thanks to its innovative suspension system.<\/p>\n<p>That same year, Malaysia, fresh from her independence held its first General Election, established Bank Negara, its first Central Bank and competed in the first edition of the inaugural Southeast Asian Peninsular (SEAP) Games held in Bangkok, Thailand. The Malaysian team returned victorious with 8 gold medals, 15 silver medals and 11 bronze medals, while securing an overall ranking of third place.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, His Majesty Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri\u2019ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah, the current and 16th Yang di-Pertuan Agong was born that year as well, so was Malay Pop Singer and bad boy, Jamal Abdillah.<\/p>\n<p>1959 also saw the first Barbie doll go on display during the American Toy Fair in New York City. Barbie was the first mass-produced toy doll in the United States with adult features. It was modelled after a German comic strip character, Lilli whose rights was bought over by Mattel and renamed Barbara \u2013 after the founder\u2019s own daughter.<\/p>\n<p>But 1959 will also be remembered for other landmark milestones such as the first Xerox copier, the first Grammy Awards, the first weather station in space and the first photos of the Earth from space, which is essentially the first selfie!<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-34571 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-medium'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a

as a premium brand in 2001. From the quintessential MINI 3-door Hatch to the ultra-sociable MINI 5-door Hatch, five cars subsequently evolved from the original iconic Mini \u2013 each tailored to suit increasingly flexible demands and changing driving habits.<\/p>\n<p>For Malaysia in 2001, a B777 Malaysian Airlines airplane, a twin-engine commercial aircraft became the first Asian airline in the world to fly over the North Pole. Meanwhile, Putrajaya, the federal administrative centre of Malaysia also became a Federal Territory that year.<\/p>\n<p>A revolutionary step towards the future of music consumption, Apple introduced the iPod for the first time in October 2001 worldwide. It consisted of a 5GB hard drive capable of storing a thousand MP3-encoded songs, giving the iPod its first slogan: \u201c1,000 songs in your pocket\u201d.

It is not only the engines of the MINI John Cooper Works brand name that provides genuine racing feeling and pedigree. The models are created from the ground up with performance and racing in its DNA and character.<\/p>\n<p>That year, Malaysia saw the opening of The Eye on Malaysia Ferris wheel in Taman Kota Laksamana, located nearby the Malacca River. It has since enabled visitors to experience a 360-degree panoramic view of the historical city and over 20 kilometres (12 mi) of its surroundings. Malacca Town and George Town in Penang were also added to UNESCO World Heritage List.<\/p>\n<p>In a ground-breaking moment of change across the globe, Barack Obama was elected President of the United States of America \u2013 making him the first African American president in the nation\u2019s history.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-3' class='gallery galleryid-34571 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-medium'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/autocarmalaysia.com\/prepro\/2019\/06\/20\/60-years-of-mini-celebrated-by-bmw-malaysia\/11-the-introduction-of-mini-john-cooper-works\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/autocarmalaysia.com\/prepro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/11.-The-Introduction-of-MINI-John-Cooper-Works-300x200.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/autocarmalaysia.com\/prepro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/11.-The-Introduction-of-MINI-John-Cooper-Works-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/autocarmalaysia.com\/prepro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/11.-The-Introduction-of-MINI-John-Cooper-Works.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/autocarmalaysia.com\/prepro\/2019\/06\/20\/60-years-of-mini-celebrated-by-bmw-malaysia\/eye-on-malaysia-melaka-malaysia\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/autocarmalaysia.com\/prepro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/13.-The-Eye-on-Malaysia-in-Taman-Kota-Laksamana.-Image-by-Geordie-from-Flickr.com_-300x200.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/autocarmalaysia.com\/prepro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/13.-The-Eye-on-Malaysia-in-Taman-Kota-Laksamana.-Image-by-Geordie-from-Flickr.com_-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/autocarmalaysia.com\/prepro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/13.-The-Eye-on-Malaysia-in-Taman-Kota-Laksamana.-Image-by-Geordie-from-Flickr.com_.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/autocarmalaysia.com\/prepro\/2019\/06\/20\/60-years-of-mini-celebrated-by-bmw-malaysia\/2009-armed-forces-inaugural-committee\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/autocarmalaysia.com\/prepro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/14.-US-President-Barack-Obama-Taking-His-Oath-of-Office.-Image-by-Master-Sgt.-Cecilio-Ricardo-U.S.-Air-Force-300x200.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/autocarmalaysia.com\/prepro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/14.-US-President-Barack-Obama-Taking-His-Oath-of-Office.-Image-by-Master-Sgt.-Cecilio-Ricardo-U.S.-Air-Force-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/autocarmalaysia.com\/prepro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/14.-US-President-Barack-Obama-Taking-His-Oath-of-Office.-Image-by-Master-Sgt.-Cecilio-Ricardo-U.S.-Air-Force.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p><strong>2010<\/strong><br \/>\nFor the first time ever, MINI debuted the MINI Countryman \u2013 the first model in its range with four doors and a wide opening rear lid.
