Geographical location Malaysia is located in the very center of Southeast Asia. The South China Sea divides the country into two parts: the western mainland - occupies the south of the Malacca Peninsula (with the exception of Singapore) and East Malaysia (the states of Sarawak and Sabah) in the northwestern part of Cape Kalimantan (formerly Borneo). On the mainland, Malaysia shares a land border with Thailand, and on Kalimantan with Indonesia. The Strait of Malacca separates peninsular Malaysia from the Indonesian island of Sumatra. The island part of Malaysia in the east is washed by the Sulu Sea, separating the country from the Philippines.

The peninsular portion makes up about 39.7% of Malaysia's total area and extends 740 km from north to south and 322 km from west to east (at its widest point). The Titiwangsa mountain range runs through the central part of the peninsula; The highest point of the peninsula is Mount Gunung Tahan (2187 m above sea level). The coastline of the peninsular part of the country is 1931 km; there are convenient bays only on the west coast. The eastern part of the country makes up 60.3% of the total area and has a coastline of 2,607 km. Between the states of Sarawak and Sabah lies the Crocker Mountain Range, where the country's highest point, Mount Kinabalu (4095 m), is located. Mountain ranges also stretch along the border with Indonesia.

The longest river in the country is the Rajang, which flows in the state of Sarawak and has a length of 760 km. The second longest river is the Kinabatangan, 560 km long, flowing in the state of Sabah. The longest river in the peninsular part of the country is Pahang, 435 km long. The country's largest freshwater lake, Bera, is located in the southwest of Pahang state. The second largest lake is Chini (Tasik Chini), located in the central part of Pahang state, with an area of 5026 hectares. The largest artificial lake in Malaysia is Kenir, with an area of 260 km², located in the state of Terengganu. It arose as a result of the construction of the largest hydroelectric dam in the country. Inland waters

Minerals In the depths of Malaysia there are significant reserves of many minerals - tin, copper and iron ore, bauxite, oil and natural gas (on the shelf of the South China Sea), coal, gold. In terms of tin reserves, Malaysia is slightly inferior to Thailand.

The basis of the economy is industry (46% of GDP) and the service sector (41%). Agriculture accounts for 13% of GDP. The electronic and electrical industry has achieved particularly high development (1st place in the world in the production of electronic chips and household air conditioners), auto production (the country has a national brand Proton; Perodua is the 2nd largest Malaysian automaker), oil and gas refining (3rd place in the world in terms of liquefied gas production), textile industry. Near the capital, construction is underway on the world's largest multimedia corridor - Silicon Valley. Among those of global importance are the production of palm oil (1st place in the world), natural rubber (3rd place), tin concentrate and timber.
