Malaysia located in Southeast Asia, is a country split in two. Part of it is located on the Malay Peninsula, while the rest on the island of Borneo. West Malaysia, or peninsular Malaysia, is shaped like a slender finger pointing to Indonesia and Australia. The western portion of peninsular Malaysia is a fertile plain and the eastern perimeter has steep descending mountains and beaches. East Malaysia (Borneo) makes up more than 50% of the country’s area. It is divided into two states Sarawak and Sabah, both of which are covered by thick jungle and several large rives. The jungles of Malaysia are a good source of sandalwood, teak and ebony.
