Malaysia

2012

The Malaya or Peninsular Malaysia (in southern Thailand) is divided from north to south by a long mountain range where there are still large areas of forests. The west coast and marshy flat, consists of long sandy beaches. East Malaysia is made up of Sarawak and Sabah and territories located north of Indonesia (Borneo). This part represents 15% of the population on 60% of the territory. It is mainly composed of rainforests and a fairly high terrain. Malaysia shares borders with Brunei, Indonesia and Thailand. It is also connected to Singapore by two bridges crossing the Strait of Johor.
