Kuala Lumpur

Malaysia is divided into two regions - Peninsular Malaysia and East Malaysia. Kuala Lumpur is located midway along the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia, in the state of Selangor. Kuala Lumpur is easily the largest city in the nation, with a population of about 1.8 million people. Today, Malaysia has a 'keleideculture' of Malays, Chinese, and Indians. China and India have been the two most prominent trading partners throughout Malaysia's history. Although each of these cultures has vigorously maintained its traditions and community structures, they have blended together to create a cultural mosaic unique to Malaysia.
