Back to Discover Malaysia mainpage; List of States in Malaysia by state
There are so many places in Malaysia, the best way to get to know them all is to go state by state. On this page, I provide you a short introduction to each state. Click in to visit the state, where I provide more information.
Johor Travel Tips
Johor is the southernmost state of Peninsular Malaysia. It is also the closest to Singapore. You can find many places of interest in its capital, Johor Bahru, as well as in smaller towns along the west and east coasts of the state.
Malacca is regarded as the cradle of Malay civilisation. It is rich in local history, particularly its capital, the eponymous Historic City of Malacca.
Pahang is the largest state in Peninsular Malaysia. It covers much of the forested and mountainous central part of the peninsula, and is home to several hill stations.
Perak is traditionally known for tin mining. Though this has come to pass, the state has many places of interest, from limestone hills to cave temples.
Sarawak is the largest state in Malaysia, and home to many indigenous tribes. Being a very large state, Sarawak has a number of major towns, each with its own characteristics.
Selangor is the most developed state in Malaysia. It surrounds the federal territories of Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya, and is often contiguous with these territories.
Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
