Malaysia Information
Malaysia is a country in South-East
Asia, located partly on a peninsula of the
Asian mainland and partly on the northern third
of the island of Borneo. West (peninsular) Malaysia
shares a border with Thailand, is connected
by a causeway and a bridge to the island state
of Singapore, and has coastlines on the South
China Sea and the Straits of Malacca. East Malaysia
(Borneo) shares borders with Brunei and Indonesia.
Peninsular Malaysia (Malay: Semenanjung Malaysia)
occupies most of the Malayan Peninsula between
Thailand and Singapore, and is also known as
West Malaysia (Malaysia Barat) or the slightly
archaic Malaya (Tanah Melayu). It is home to
the bulk of Malaysia's population, its capital
and largest city Kuala Lumpur, and is generally
more economically developed.
West Coast - the more developed
side of Peninsular Malaysia, with the states
of Kedah, Malacca, Negeri Sembilan, Penang,
Perak, Perlis and Selangor, and Malaysia's
capital city Kuala Lumpur and the new administrative
centre of Putrajaya, all located within this
region.
East Coast - more traditional
and Muslim, the islands here are glittering
tropical jewels. Made up of the states of
Kelantan, Pahang and Terengganu.
South - comprising just one
state, Johor, two coastlines, and endless
palm oil plantations.
Some 800 kilometres to the east is
East Malaysia (Malaysia Timur), which occupies the
northern third of the island of Borneo, shared with
Indonesia and tiny Brunei. Covered in impenetrable
jungle where headhunters roam (on GSM networks if
nothing else), East Malaysia is rich in natural resources
but very much Malaysia's hinterland for industry and
tourism.
Sabah - superb scuba diving in
Sipadan , nature reserves and the mighty Mount
Kinabalu
Sarawak - jungles, national parks,
and traditional longhouses
