How this list was compiled: Items made on 2026-10-01; ids, points, rings and accepted spellings are Natural Earth's. The 13 states and 3 federal territories are today's units: the count and every name were compared on 2026-10-01 with the population-by-state table of the Department of Statistics Malaysia on the government's open data site (https://api.data.gov.my/data-catalogue?id=population_state, 16 names; it writes Pulau Pinang for Penang and W.P. for the three federal territories), with the list of ISO 3166-2 codes for Malaysia as Wikipedia prints it (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2:MY, 13 states and 3 federal territories) and with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/States_and_federal_territories_of_Malaysia, all read 2026-10-01. The two sets are Peninsular Malaysia (11 states, Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya) and East Malaysia on Borneo (Sabah, Sarawak and Labuan), as that article divides them. No disputed area lies in the frame of the drawing as the generator probes it; the Spratly Islands are not drawn. The points of eight peninsular states (Johor, Kedah, Kelantan, Negeri Sembilan, Pahang, Perak, Selangor, Terengganu) were moved a few units inside their own shapes, so that fewer names touch when the sheet writes them; the points file has the generator's points.

How it works

This blank Malaysia map shows its 13 states and 3 federal territories in two parts, the peninsula and the north of Borneo, with the South China Sea between them.

Blank, numbered or named

The sheet opens blank. Choose Numbered to put a number on each state and federal territory, or Named for their names, then press Print this map; the answer key prints on its own sheet.

Two parts, five rings

Eleven states, Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya are on the peninsula; Sabah, Sarawak and Labuan are on Borneo. Five shapes are too small to write on and carry a ring beside the map: Perlis, Penang, Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya and Labuan. Brunei is the unnamed land inside the coast of Sarawak.

Typed answers in Malay or in older English spelling count: Pulau Pinang for Penang, Malacca for Melaka.
The peninsula is crowded: Numbered with the answer key reads more easily there than Named.

Questions and answers

How many states does Malaysia have?

Thirteen states and three federal territories: Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya and Labuan, off the coast of Borneo. All 16 are numbered on this map.

Which states of Malaysia are on Borneo?

Sabah and Sarawak, with the federal territory of Labuan. Together they are called East Malaysia. The other eleven states and two territories are on the Malay Peninsula.

Which countries are drawn around Malaysia?

Thailand north of the peninsula, Singapore at its southern tip, and Indonesia and Brunei on Borneo. Small parts of Vietnam and the Philippines show at the edges of the sheet. All are plain land without names.

What is the capital of Malaysia?

Kuala Lumpur is the national capital and Putrajaya is the seat of the government. Both are small federal territories that were split from the state of Selangor, and each has a ring beside the map.

Are any borders on this map disputed?

Some borders on this map are disputed. The map follows Natural Earth, a public-domain map source, and does not take a side. The Philippines keeps a claim to the eastern part of Sabah, which is drawn here as a state of Malaysia.
