WHERE is Malaysia???

South East Asia
(map)

According to the map above (hee~~ sorry for the bad lining..), Malaysia is located in the middle of South East Asia
, with neighbouring country like Indonesia, Singapore, Brunei, Philippines and the rest you can see for your self..To talk about it geographically, it is bordered by Thailand in the north, Indonesia in the south, and the Philippines in the east.

Malaysia is a country that consist of 13 states namely Johor, Kedah, Kelantan, Melaka, Negeri Sembilan, Pahang, Perak, Perlis, Pulau Pinang, Selangor, Terengganu, Sabah and Sarawak. You must be wondering "hey! where's Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia's capital)??".. Well, Kuala Lumpur is not a state but it is a federal territory, which I'm not quite sure what that is.. haha.. But I think it is where the country's administrative office is at, if there is such a thing.. Administrative office??
So, other than Kuala Lumpur, Labuan and Putrajaya is also a federal territory.

Malaysia is divided into two : Peninsular Malaysia(west Malaysia) with 11 states and East Malaysia(situated on the island of Borneo) with 2 states..

Well, guess that's all for the intro.. Hope this post could help you learn a little bit about a country that I'm proud to call, my home.
