South-East Asia

Malaysia is located on the Malay Peninsula (the southern part of the Indochinese peninsula) and the adjacent islands of the Malay archipelago, at the intersection of the Pacific and Indian Oceans, in an area that is traditionally part of the "Malay world" (the term "Malay world", Dunia Melayu or Alam Melayu, generally refers to geographical and cultural areas in which some ethnic groups of Indochina are common, including mainly present-day Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Brunei, Timor eastern, southern Thailand and southern Philippines).
