Location And Maps

These two regions are divided into thirteen states and federal territories. See the country map below for more information on the most popular areas that overseas residents choose.
The Peninsular is divided into the 'east coast' and the 'west coast' by the Main Mountain Range which runs from the Malaysia-Thai border in the north to almost the southern state of Johor. Geographically, East Malaysia is rugged, with a series of mountain range encompassing the interior regions of both states. The Crocker Range in Sabah is the site of Mount Kinabalu, the highest peak in South East Asia. Low's Peak, at 4,093 metres above sea level, is the highest point of the mountain.

The country is generally warm throughout the year with temperatures ranging from 21° to 32° Celsius in the lowlands. This can however be as low as 16° Celsius in the highlands. Annual rainfall is heavy at 2,500mm (100 inches). On a rainy day, thunder and lightning often accompany the heavy downpour which normally lasts for about an hour or two. The humidity level at 80% throughout the year favours light and sweat-absorbent material like cotton, linen or silk for daily dressing.

Generally, Malaysia has two distinct seasons. The dry season occurs during the south-west monsoon from May and September. The northeast monsoon brings the rainy season to the country during mid-November till March.

Most overseas residents choose to live in one of the areas shown on the map below.
