About this map of Malaysia
The Malaysia map on this page is drawn from 16 states and federal territories, each one a separate clickable shape. By mapped area the largest is Sarawak (about 123,300 km², 37% of the country's mapped surface); the smallest is Putrajaya at about 30 km². The two differ by more than a thousandfold on the same map, so the small ones need a zoom before they are easy to hit. The mapped outline reaches from 1°N to 7°N and spans roughly 20° of longitude. Some states and federal territories are drawn as more than one piece, which is why the map carries 24 outlines for 16 states and federal territories.

Tips for coloring the Malaysia map
- With 16 states and federal territories you have a comfortable number for a 4–6 color scheme: group them by whatever you are showing, then label each group once in the legend.
- 5 of the states and federal territories are under 1% of the largest one's area. Scroll to zoom before clicking them, or type a name into the search box to jump straight to one.
- Sarawak alone covers about 37% of the mapped area, so a shaded choropleth will always be dominated by it. If you are mapping a quantity, import your numbers and switch to the bubble view, which sizes circles by value instead of by land area.
- The shape is much wider than it is tall, which leaves room above or below the map: a corner legend and a title fit without covering any state.
