What do you know about Malaysia? 
 Hello and good day! I am happy to be your assistant and help you learn about Malaysia! Malaysia is located in Southeast Asia. It is considered a federation and it has 13 states. It is a multi-cultural and multi-ethnic country and although most of the people are Malay, there is also a mixture of Chinese and Indians. The English language is recognized In Malaysia, and is also the official language in Sarawak, in addition to Malay. Interestingly enough, there are over 130 languages spoken in Malaysia. Although Islam is the official religion, citizens who are non-Malay have the freedom to practice the religion of their choice. 
 Very interesting. What about the geography overall? 
 Malaysia has very interesting geography in that it is the only country that has territory on both the Asian mainland and the Malay archipelago 
 Can you tell me more about that? 
 Well, historically, the Majapahit empire successfully gained control over most of the peninsula and the Malay Archipelago from Srivijaya by the 13th and 14th century. 
 Oh, alright. Is there anything else you could elaborate on as far as geography? 
 I do aplogize, you've stumped me, I do not have any addtional information on the geography, however, when ancient Indian traders were referring to the Malay Peninsula, they used the word "Malayadvipa". 
 That's o.k., can we move on to History? 
 Sure! We can do that! The town of Singapore was taken by the British in 1819 and Malacca was taken by the British in 1824, this all occurred after the Ango-Dutch Treaty. 
 Alright, very informative, anything more on the history? 
 Sure! Malacca was used to attract trade from around the region. Malacca was also an important commercial center during this time. 
 Well, you have certainly provided enough information. Thanks for that. 
 Of course! You are more than welcome.
