Did you know the flags of Malaysia and the USA look so similar? This might be a coincidence,
but both resemble the East India Company’s flag. Malaysia’s flag has seven red stripes, seven
white stripes, a blue rectangle, and a yellow star and crescent.
Located in Southeast Asia, Malaysia has two parts: the Malay Peninsula and northern Borneo,
split by 640 kilometers of the South China Sea. It borders Brunei, Thailand, and Indonesia, and is
connected to Singapore by a bridge.
Malaysia spans 329,847 sq km, about the same size as Vietnam, with 34.2 million people. It is
one of the world’s 17 megadiverse countries, famous for its rainforests and beaches. Malaysia
also boasts the Petronas Towers, the tallest twin buildings in the world, standing at 452 meters.
The Strait of Malacca is the shortest shipping route between East Asia and Europe, handling
30% of global trade.
