Malaysia Map

Geographically located at southeastern Asia, Malaysia is considered as one of the largest multi-cultural countries in South East Asia. With an area stretching over more than 300,000 square kilometers, Malaysia is made up from 13 states (Johor, Kedah, Kelantan, Malacca, Negeri Sembilan, Pahang, Perak, Perlis, Penang, Sabah, Sarawak, Terengganu, and Selangor) and 3 federal territories (Kuala Lumpur, Labuan, and Putrajaya). Within all of these 16 states or federal territories, Kuala Lumpur is the capital state in Malaysia where most of the major economy activities take place everyday. In addition to that, 2 of the famous landmark in the capital state of Malaysia are the Petronas Twin Tower and the Kuala Lumpur Tower (Menara Kuala Lumpur).

Actually, Malaysia is divided into 2 continents which are the Peninsular Malaysia and East Malaysia in Borneo. For Peninsular Malaysia, the 13 states which are situated there are Johor, Kedah, Kelantan, Malacca, Negeri Sembilan, Pahang, Perak, Perlis, Penang, Terengganu, Selangor and Kuala Lumpur. On the other hand, as for East Malaysia, 3 of the states which are Sabah, Sarawak and Labuan are situated there. For Malaysia, some of the neighbouring countries which are situated nearby to Malaysia are non-other than Brunei, Indonesia, Thailand and Singapore.

The terrain in both Peninsular Malaysia and East Malaysia are mostly costal plains rising to become hills and mountains, therefore, it is a common sight in Malaysia where many visible mountains and hills are lying all around the states in Malaysia. In addition to that, due to the fact where the climate in Malaysia is tropical weather, Malaysia is considerably warm and moist throughout the year compared to some other countries like Europe where they have different 4 seasons in a year.

Fortunately, Malaysia is lucky enough to be free from major natural disasters such as tornado or earthquake, however, Malaysia still falls victim to some natural disaster like landslide and flood due to the reason where the difference between the higher ground and lower ground is quite large and moreover, land slide happens more often in Malaysia because most of the locations in Malaysia are surrounded by mountains and hills. In addition to that, due to the sole reason where Malaysia is a warm country, sometimes forest fires may occur if the weather is too hot.

Last but not least, Malaysia is always one of the most favoured countries among foreign travelers and visitors because Malaysia has a large variety of ethnic groups and a very warm and sunny weather throughout the year.
