A map of South East Asia
Malaysia is part of a big group called South East Asia. It is located Below Thailand and above Singapore. Malaysia is very close to the equator. Being close to the equator gives Malaysia some advantages such as having only two seasons: the rain season and the dry season. Malaysia doesn't have to worry about snowstorms or blizzards. Being close to the equator keeps Malaysia warm all year round. This means that tropical fruits and farms can survive through out the whole year.
Another advantage that Malaysia has is petroleum gas. Petroleum gas is an important natural resource found in the ocean. The petroleum has made Malaysia very wealthy. Malaysia sells the petroleum to other countries and makes a lot of money from it. It helps Malaysia to develop with modern technology. An example of how rich and powerful the petroleum company is when Malaysia wanted a building that would be famous in the world. The petroleum company was very rich so they decided to build the Petronas Twin Towers. Local Malaysians also get to enjoying a lower price for the petrol gas.
Petroleum oil is what makes a car move.
Malaysia was once the world's largest producer of palm oil, rubber, and tin. Palm oil is a natural resource found in Malaysia. It is an edible oil. Palm oil is used for cooking and baking. Rubber is another one of the many natural resources of Malaysia. Rubber is used to make the wheels of a car. When the car was invented, America needed a lot of rubber to make tires. They payed a high amount of money for it and in result, rubber, along with petroleum gas made Malaysia wealthy. Tin was also something that Malaysia produced. Tin is used for making the containers for canned food and the cans of soft drink.
Malaysia has many advantages like the weather and many natural resources that are helping it to develop.
