Malaysia lies seven degrees north of the
Equator. Peninsular Malaysia is flanked by South China Sea in the east and the
historic Straits of Malacca in the west, while East Malaysia is surrounded by
South China Sea to the west and north and Sulu Sea in the northeast. |
|
| Geographically, the east is made up of
narrow coastal plains that rise up to hills and mountains, while the west is
wide and fertile. West Malaysia is also suffused with mountain ranges such as
Banjaran Titiwangsa, which runs along the north-south spine of Peninsular
Malaysia. |
|
| Undulating landscapes comprising mountains,
rough terrain and rain forest mark East Malaysia’s Sabah and Sarawak,
approximately 650km from the Peninsula. As part of the ecologically rich
Borneo, these two states are home to some of the world’s most indigenous human,
animal and plant groups. Indeed, no visit to Malaysia would be complete without
exploring and learning about these groups and indulging in activities such as
cave exploring, visiting Orang Utan primate sanctuaries and bird watching.
