What are the States and Federal Territories of Malaysia?

Malaysia is a federation of 13 states and three federal territories (Kuala Lumpur, Labuan and Putrajaya). Each state has its own legislature and government.

  • Nine states have hereditary Malay rulers, who take turns as the country's king for five-year terms.
  • The Federation of Malaya became independent in 1957.
  • Malaysia was formed in 1963, when Malaya joined with Sabah, Sarawak and Singapore.
  • Singapore left two years later, in 1965.
  • Kuala Lumpur became a federal territory in 1974, followed by Labuan in 1984 and Putrajaya in 2001.

Current quiz contains 14 states and federal territories: Johor, Kedah, Kelantan, Kuala Lumpur, Melaka, Negeri Sembilan, Pahang, Perak, Perlis, Pulau Pinang, Sabah, Sarawak, Selangor, Trengganu.

Territories Labuan and Putrajaya were removed from the quiz as they are too small and it's complicated to select them on the map.
