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.
