Geography

• The country is made up of two regions, Peninsula Malaysia and East Malaysia (Borneo) across the South China Sea.

• The Peninsula Malaysia is divided into the 'east coast' and the 'west coast' by the Main Range in the middle.

• East Malaysia is geographically rugged, with a series of mountain ranges running through the interiors of both Sabah and Sarawak. The Crocker Range in Sabah is the site of Mt Kinabalu, the highest peak in South East Asia.
