The purpose of the Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness (MSIA) is to teach Soul Transcendence, which is becoming aware of yourself as a Soul and as one with God, not as a theory but as a living reality. MSIA offers an approach to living that focuses on how to incorporate spirituality into your everyday life. We call it "practical spirituality" (more...).

Apart from Crimson's good answer, you may also find that Malaysia produces many different food products, for both local and overseas consumption. Example, Maggi Mee noodles.
Most DELL computers and components are also manufactured in Malaysia.
Malaysia has a rich manufacturing industry, yet we are still largely involved in producing raw materials. Things like timber, petroleum and natural gas, rubber, palm oil, water (to Singapore) etc.

Well, Servives (eg. Salesman and tourism) are very important in Malaysia.
On of the major exports are Palm Oil (Number 1 in the world) and Petroleum (Low Sulphur content)
We have the local cars (Myvi, Viva, Protons, etc)
And that's about it.
The rich people are usually the Malays.
They get 7% discount on houses and land, and they get more money because they are 'bumiputera' (natives).
The kids get extra marks on examinations wherelse we other non-bumiputeras have to work extra harder to achieve the same thing although our essays and work are SO MUCH more better.
And they get jobs more easily rather than others.
Darn them. No offense.

Your words, "How can this country get money from"? I believe you're trying to ask, how this country made its wealth economically and financially?
Producing things locally for exports or local use is just one small part of the economy. Our larger income comes from sectors like Oil and gas production and refinery, manufacturing and assemblying parts, plantation and agriculture, services and of course, from foreign direct investment and emergence of small businesses. These are all the major factors of generating economic wealth.
