Malaysia is one of the fast-growing economies collectively known as the ‘Asian Dragons’. Located in Southeast Asia, it consists of two geographical regions divided by the South China Sea. The Malay peninsular (or West Malaysia) shares a border with Thailand in the north and Singapore in the south, while East Malaysia occupies the northern part of the island of Borneo, including the states of Sarawak and Sabah.

The Malay peninsular is over 800kms long and features a mountain range along its backbone and dense rain forests. There are also many islands and outcrops of limestone dotted along the coast, especially in the Kuala Lumpur and Kampar Valley areas.
