4 INTRODUCTION Malaysia comprises 13 states and 3 federal territories. Kuala Lumpur is Malaysia s federal capital and was also its administrative capital until 1999 when the seat of government was moved to the newly-created federal territory of Putrajaya. Where Malaysia is Malaysia is south East Asia sharing its borders with Singapore and Thailand. Dividing 13 states and 3 federals territories. It has Kuala Lampur and putrajayas as the administrative. The large number of islands in the country, over 200, has blessed it with a long and beautiful coastline. 4
5 HISTORY OF MALAYSIA Strategically situated at a trading junction; the result of alternating seasonal northeast and southwest monsoons, Malaysia was the ideal central location for early East-West trade. The country s strategic sea-lane position brought trade and foreign influences, including Hindu and Buddhist cultures, which fundamentally influenced its early history with beliefs that are in evidence today in the Malay language, literature and various customs. The influence of these cultures reached their peak in the Sumatran-based Srivijaya civilization whose influence extended through Sumatra, Peninsular Malaysia and Borneo from the seventh to the 14th centuries. Early Melaka In 1405 the Chinese admiral Cheng Ho arrived in Melaka (Malacca) with greetings from the Son of Heaven (Emperor) and more importantly, the promise of protection from the encroaching Siamese from the north. With this support from China, the power of Melaka extended to include most of Peninsular Malaysia. Independence In August 1957, Malaya was granted independence from British colonial rule and with independence, the country became a centralised federation with a constitutional monarchy, with Kuala Lumpur named as the capital. Each state had its own fully elected state assembly and its government was chosen from the party which had a majority of elected members in the assembly. However, there followed a period of instability due to the internal Communist uprising and an external confrontation with Indonesia. In 1963, the north Borneo states of Sabah and Sarawak, together with Singapore, joined Malaya to create Malaysia. GEOGRAPHY With its land area totalling 329,847 sq km, Malaysia consists of Peninsular Malaysia and East Malaysia (the states of Sabah and Sarawak) which are separated by the South China Sea. Peninsular Malaysia shares its border with Thailand and sits north of Singapore while East Malaysia is located on the island of Borneo and shares its border with Brunei and the Indonesian territory of Kalimantan. The country enjoys a tropical climate with hot and humid weather all year round. Annual southwest and northeast monsoons also occur from April to September and November to February respectively. 5
6 DEMOGRAPHICS Malaysia has a population of slightly less than 29 million people, with approximately one-third of them below the age of 18. Only 3.6% are below the poverty level while million are in the labour force. The population is relatively young with only 5% above the age of 65. In terms of geographic distribution, 24 million people inhabit Peninsular Malaysia where the population is mostly concentrated on the west coast. East Malaysia, on the other hand, is home to 5 million people. The Malaysian demography stands out due to a multiethnic society comprising of Malays (60%), Chinese (25%), Indians (10%), Eurasians as well as indigenous groups from Peninsular and East Malaysia. LANGUAGE & RELIGION The official language of Malaysia is Bahasa Malaysia, but English is widely used and is the preferred language of business. Due to Malaysia s multiethnic society, a variety of other languages are spoken including Cantonese, Mandarin. Religion Islam is the official religion of Malaysia, but other religions such as Buddhism, Taoism, Hinduism, Christianity and Sikhism are freely practiced. 6

Historically, Pakistan recognised Malaysia and refused to accept the non-inclusion of Brunei and the leaving of Singapore from the Federation of Malaysia, Pakistan only established relations with those countries when Malaysia had done so.

There is a trade and cultural pact between the two countries, under which the import and export of various goods is done on fairly large scale. The President and the Prime Minister of Pakistan along with other high officials visited Malaysia many times and Malaysian officials also paid a good will visit to Pakistan.

13 Economy System Malaysia is a middle income country has transformed itself since the 1970 from a raw material producer into an emerging multi sector-economy. Continuing efforts to boost domestic demand and reduce the economies dependence on exports are being done. Nevertheless, exports particularly of electronics, palm oil, and rubber remain a significant driver of economy. The central bank maintains healthy foreign exchange reserves and its well developed regulatory regime have limited Malaysia exposure to riskier financial instruments and the global financial crises. The services sectors makes up the bulk of economy (48.2%) followed by the manufacturing sectors (41.1%) and agriculture (10.5%). Inflation continued to remain below 3.5%. Agriculture products produced in Peninsular Malaysia rubber, palm oil, cocoa and rice, while in Sabah, it is subsistence crops i.e. coconuts and rice and in Sarawak, rubber, timber and pepper. Main industries in Peninsular are rubber and oil palm processing and manufacturing, light manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, medical technologies, electronics, tin mining and timber processing, while in Sabah it is logging and petroleum production and refining and logging. Main exports partners are Singapore, china, US Japan, Thailand etc. Legal System The Malaysian Constitution is the supreme and overriding law of the country. The constitution sets out the broad framework within which the country is run. It lays down the rights of the individual, and the extent to which and in what circumstances the government may limit these rights. 13
14 Judiciary Branch The Malaysian legal system is based on English common law. The Federal Court reviews decisions referred from the Court of Appeal; it has original jurisdiction in Constitutional matters and in disputes between states or between the federal government and a state. Peninsular Malaysia and the East Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak each have a high court. Article 121(1) of the Federal Constitution provides that the Federal Court shall have appellate, original, consultative or advisory, and referral jurisdiction but it does not cover those matters under the jurisdiction of the Syariah Court. Article 121(1B) of the Federal Constitution provides the Court of Appeal with appellate jurisdiction to hear both civil and criminal cases originating from the High Court or the Sessions Court (criminal cases only). Local Government Malaysia has 13 states with three components, which are the city of Kuala Lumpur,Labuan, and Putrajaya. Malaysia is characterized by asymmetric federalism involving one or several states having more autonomy than others. Although it has a highly centralized system of government, Malaysia has given the states of Sabah and Sarawak powers that normally fall under federal jurisdiction. These Bornean states have considerably more autonomy than the 11 other states in areas such as taxation (in particular customs and excise), immigration and citizenship, trade, transportation and communication, fisheries and several social affairs sectors. The aim of this approach is to protect the distinctive characteristics of the two states and their interests. Malaysia Different Currency Denominations The Malaysian ringgit coinage and banknote series designs announced in 2011 by Bank Negara Malaysia. Etymology The word ringgit means "jagged" in Malay and was originally used to refer to the serrated edges of silver Spanish dollars which circulated widely in the area during the 16th and 17th century Portuguese colonial era. The Singapore dollar and the Brunei dollar are also called ringgit in Malay (although currencies such as the U.S. and Australian dollars are dolar), hence its official abbreviation RM for Ringgit Malaysia. The Malay names ringgit and sen were officially adopted as the sole official names in August Previously they had been known officially as dollars and cents in English and ringgit and sen in Malay, and in some parts of the country this usage 14
15 continues. In the northern states of Peninsular Malaysia, denominations of 10 sen are called kupang in Malay e.g. 50 sen is 5 kupang. Malaysian currency first start with sen. 100 sen is = 1 ringgit. Coins 5 sen 10 sen 20 sen 50sen Currency Notes
