Malaysia is a nation in Southeast Asia that has territory on both Borneo Island and the Malay Peninsula.
The beaches, rainforests, and blend of Malay, Chinese, Indian, and European cultural influences make it famous. Colonial structures, bustling commercial areas like Bukit Bintang, and skyscrapers like the recognisable, 451-meter-tall Petronas Twin Towers may all be found in Malaysia's capital, Kuala Lumpur.
Malaysia is made up of two separate, non-contiguous regions: East Malaysia (Malaysia Timur), which is located on the island of Borneo, and Peninsular Malaysia (Semenanjung Malaysia), which lies on the Malay Peninsula and is also known as West Malaysia (Malaysia Barat).
The administrative centre, Putrajaya, is situated around 16 miles (25 km) south of Kuala Lumpur, which is situated on the western portion of the peninsula, approximately 25 miles (40 km) from the shore.
