Malaysia

Malaysia is made of two parts: one in mainland Asia, and the other on the Borneo island. There are lots of mountains and rainforests in Malaysia. There are about 20 million people in the country, the majority of which are natives, and the rest (about one third) are mostly Chinese and Indian. Malaysia has been under Dutch, British, Chinese, and Japanese rule at various times, and became independent in the mid 1900s. The county has many languages, including the official national language of Bahasa Melayu.

Common themes of Malaysia include rice, hot and rainy climates, Islam, Indian cultural influences, and exporting raw materials.
