Malaysia is situated
seven degrees north of the equator in Southeast Asia. The country
consists of 14 states; including three Federal Territories of
Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya and Labuan. Politically, the three territories
formed the 14th state of Malaysia eventhough geographically
dispersed. The northern part of Peninsular Malaysia borders
Thailand. To the east is the South China Sea, to the south is
Singapore and to the west are the Straits of Melaka.
Sabah and Sarawak are on the northern coast of the island of
Borneo. Malaysia has a warm and humid climate. The humidity
is about 80% all year round and temperatures range from 21 to
32°C. The climate is affected by the northeast and southwest
monsoons, tropical winds that alternate during the course of
the year.
The northeast monsoon blows from November to March, and the
southwest monsoon from May to September. The periods between
the monsoons are marked by heavy rainfall. Much of Malaysia
is mountainous. Its mountains include two of the highest in
southeast Asia: the Gunung Tahan, which rises 2,190 metres above
the central spine of the Titiwangsa mountain range in Peninsular
Malaysia, and the Gunung Kinabalu, 4,100 metres high, in Sabah.
