	Malaysia - Wikitravel
		Malaysia ([1]) is a country in South-East Asia, located partly on a peninsula of the Asian mainland and partly on the northern third of the island of Borneo.
		Malaysia was formed in 1963 through a merging of the former British colonies of Malaya and Singapore, including the East Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak on the northern coast of Borneo.
		Malaysia's development has been fast but uneven, leading to the often used description of Malaysia, "First world infrastructure, third world mentality." Contributing to this is the bumiputra policy, or Malay-first policy, which provides privileges to the ethnic Malays at the expense of the (traditionally wealthier) minority Chinese and (traditionally less-wealthy) Indian populations.

	Well-meaning wildlife traffic AP12.02
		TAIPING, Malaysia; SANTIAGO, Chile--Few points on earth are farther apart, with more open sea and sky between them, than Taiping, Malaysia, home of the struggling Taiping Zoo, and Santiago, Chile, the host city for the 12th Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species Conference of the Parties, called CITES-COP 2002 for short.
		The facts were less in dispute than the intentions behind the January 2002 transaction--and the closest resemblance to common ground between the positions of Taiping and the CITES Secretariat, across 6,000 miles of Pacific Ocean, might have been the rolling deck of a Japanese whaling ship.
