With the withdrawal of Singapore from the Malaysian Confederation in 1965, a 357 new situation also arose for the churches. In 1975 the Synod of the Presbyterian Church in Singapore and Malaysia decided to establish two synods — one for Singapore and another for Malaysia. The structure and organization of these synods remained basically unchanged. The synod in Malaysia considered moving headquarters to Kuala Lumpur but decided, given the preponderance of membership in Johor, to maintain its offices in Batu Pahat. Despite adversities, new communities were established.
