    More Information about Malaysia

    With its 30,073,353 people, Malaysia is the 43rd largest country in the world by
    population. It is the 67th largest country in the world by area with 329,847 square kilometers.

    During the late 18th and 19th centuries, Great Britain established colonies and protectorates in the area of current
    Malaysia; these were occupied by Japan from 1942 to 1945. In 1948, the British-ruled territories on the Malay
    Peninsula except Singapore formed the Federation of Malaya, which became independent in 1957. Malaysia was
    formed in 1963 when the former British colonies of Singapore, as well as Sabah and Sarawak on the northern coast
    of Borneo, joined the Federation. The first several years of the country's independence were marred by a communist
    insurgency, Indonesian confrontation with Malaysia, Philippine claims to Sabah, and Singapore's withdrawal in 1965.
    During the 22-year term of Prime Minister MAHATHIR bin Mohamad (1981-2003), Malaysia was successful in
    diversifying its economy from dependence on exports of raw materials to the development of manufacturing, services,
    and tourism. Prime Minister Mohamed NAJIB bin Abdul Razak (in office since April 2009) has continued these pro-
    business policies and has introduced some civil reforms.
