Taek Jho Low's Malaysia: A Beautiful Place


According to many people, Malaysia, the country from which Taek Jho Low hails, is one of the most beautiful places in the world. With a population of about 28 million people, it is the world’s 43rd most populated country. The over 320,000 square kilometer total land area makes Malaysia the 66th largest country in the world, about the size of the state of New Mexico in the U.S.

Malaysia is divided into two distinct areas, the more populated western part, which forms the southernmost tip of the Asian Continent, and the Eastern part, separated from each other by the South China Sea.

The two segments share similar climates and landscapes. Malaysia is located just north of the equator and experiences two monsoon seasons, northeast monsoons from October to February and southwest from April to October. Beautiful coastal plains characterize the landscape, which frequently rise towards mountains and hills which are densely forested.
