Malaysia is just north of the Equator in Southeast Asia and has two distinct regions: West Malaysia, which lies on the Malay Peninsular, and East Malaysia, which is on the island of Borneo.<\/p>\n

The Malaysian capital, Kuala Lumpur, is located in West Malaysia.<\/p>\n

As of 2022, the population of Malaysia is 33,331,000. 8,420,000 living in Kuala Lumpur.<\/p>\n

West Malaysia has a land border with Thailand. East Malaysia borders Indonesia and Brunei. It also shares maritime boundaries with the Philippines, Singapore, and Vietnam. A narrow causeway and a bridge connect Malaysia to Singapore.<\/p>\n

Malaysia is multicultural and consists of multiple ethnic groups. Malays make up half the population, with minority groups of Chinese, Indians, and others making up the rest.<\/p>\n

The official language is Malaysian, but English is also widely spoken due to being a part of the British Empire until its independence in 1957.<\/p>\n

The extensive use of English is one of the reasons why Malaysia is a suitable option for ex-pats looking to relocate to Southeast Asia.<\/p>\n
