Bahasa Malaysia Malaysia

Malaysia ialah sebuah negara persekutuan yang terletak di Asia Tenggara. Malaysia mempunyai dua kawasan utama yang terpisah oleh Laut China Selatan; iaitu Semenanjung Malaysia, bersempadankan Thailand di utara dan Singapura di selatan; dan Malaysia Timur, bahagian utara Pulau Borneo yang bersempadan dengan Indonesia di selatan dan Brunei di utara.

English Malaysia - Malaysia

Malaysia is a federation of thirteen states in Southeast Asia. The country consists of two geographical regions divided by the South China Sea. Peninsular Malaysia (or West Malaysia) on the Malay Peninsula shares a land border on the north with ► Thailand and is connected by the Johor-Singapore Causeway and the Malaysia-Singapore Second Link to the south with ► Singapore. It consists of nine sultanates (Johor, Kedah, Kelantan, Negeri Sembilan, Pahang, Perak, Perlis, Selangor and Terengganu), two states headed by governors (Malacca and Penang), and two federal territories (Putrajaya and Kuala Lumpur). Malaysian Borneo (or East Malaysia) occupies the northern part of the island of Borneo, bordering ► Indonesia and surrounding the Sultanate of ► Brunei. It has maritime borders with ► Vietnam and ► Mindanao in the ► Philippines and claims the ► Spratly Islands. It consists of the states of Sabah and Sarawak and the federal territory of Labuan. The name "Malaysia" was adopted in 1963 when the Federation of Malaya (Malay: Persekutuan Tanah Melayu), Singapore, Sabah and Sarawak formed a 14-state federation. Singapore was expelled from the federation in 1965 and subsequently become an independent country.
