This was a test question to see how many in the world actually knew where my country is. I apologise if I offend those of you who have taken the time to answer my question. But thank you! Although I'm sure some people who are not well-read or well-travelled would still have the idea that we live in trees and dress like Tarzan and Jane!

Ma·lay·sia (mÉ-lÄ'zhÉ, -shÉ)
A country of southeast Asia consisting of the southern Malay Peninsula and the northern part of the island of Borneo. Malays probably moved into the penisula c. 2000 B.C., eventually reaching northern Borneo and displacing the indigenous Dayaks. Europeans arrived in the 16th century. By the 20th century Great Britain had established protectorates throughout the lower peninsula, which later formed the Union (1946) and then the Federation (1948) of Malaya. Gaining independence in 1957, it joined with Singapore, Sabah, and Sarawak to become the Federation of Malaysia in 1963. Singapore gained independence separately in 1965. Kuala Lumpur is the capital and the largest city. Population: 23,900,000.

You may want to get out a world map and look somewhere around SE Asia to find the answer to your question. Study hard, my child. There are many volcanoes around the Ring of Fire! What has this to do with Malaysia? I don't know. I just like volcanoes.

YES!!! Is that considered Southeast Asia? I was in Vietnam for 3 years and the military had R&R in some places in Malaysia.
