The States of Malaysia consist of 13 states and 3 federal territories, each with its own unique culture and geography. The states are divided into two main regions: Peninsular Malaysia and East Malaysia. Peninsular Malaysia includes states like Selangor, Johor, and Penang, while East Malaysia comprises Sabah and Sarawak on the island of Borneo. Each state has its own government and administrative structure, contributing to Malaysia's diverse political landscape. The federal territories, which include Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya, and Labuan, are directly governed by the federal government, providing a balance between state and national interests.
