We have all Journey here on
FTD facts some of you have been with us from the very beginning
And we've explored a lot of cultures in the south Asian region, and we've learned a [lot] about issues between nations, but as well
Similarities that we all have although we're living in different countries
But today we are [going] [to] look at another South Asian country a country that is not only beautiful in its natural state
But through its culture architecture
And voice of its people it is stood out to the rest of the world and this is the country and people of MalaySia
Hey guys
what's going on Dave Walpole here and welcome back to fTD facts the channel will reteach you guys everything about everything [now] before I get
In this video just to let everyone know who's here for the first time
We like to take a lot of recommendations
From our viewers and because of that this video itself has been recommended by so many of you that well
We got [to] thank you guys [because] so many of you guys wanted us to talk about MalaySia
But before we get into the video. I want to ask you [guys]
What is the worst place [that] you guys ever been on vacation come on? We've all been there
We've all experienced the worst vacation. [let] me know down there cool
so first things first we got [to] talk about when it [comes] to Malaysia is its population and it is a strong people of
31 million three hundred and ninety four thousand people on a
landmass of three Hundred and Thirty thousand eight hundred and three square kilometer this makes the country the
44th most Populous country in the entire world with 92 people per square kilometer
[but] see it's not just its people that makes it a beautiful place as a matter of fact it is also its land for example
Malaysia is known for having an amazing
Cave Network which people come from all around the [world] just to see and explore for example the clear water cave
stands at the eighth largest cave in the entire world being 215 point three kilometers long
But there's also [the] star walk chamber
which is one of the biggest Chambers on the
Entitle planet as a matter of fact it is the largest chamber by area in the entire world
and it is so big that you could fit a
747 inside the Chamber now like [Many] [countries] in South Asia
Malaysia has had multiple names for devil aureus or Sonia's [with] one of its original name which meant the
peninsula of Gold and this came from the famous Greek writer and
Astronomer tana me where the current word for MalaySia is believed to have come from Malaya which is a river in
Sumatra now the country also Shares land on one of the biggest islands in all of south of Asia
[this] is the Island of Borneo
And it is the third largest island in the entire world and the island itself is divided up between MalaySia Brunei and indonesia
Now Malaysia's also got one awesome record it is the largest Roundabout in the entire world the Brazilian Sultan salahuddin
Abdul Aziz Shah is a roundabout that is 2.2 miles long and it is located in pretty giant now
We all know that South Asia is known for having a lot [of] english-speaking people
and this is obviously due to the fact that the British owned many of these countries however Malaysia was the first country to have an
English-speaking school in the entire region sifrin a free school was built and founded on October 21st
1816 and it is still going today [and] on top of that it is considered to be
Malaysia's oldest school of all you can't talk about countries without talking about its wildlife
And of course its ecosystems that are protected by the [un] [es] [Cl] for example the country has five
Protected une seo world heritage sites, but one of them isn't actually a natural park. It's a historic connection of two cities
they are called Malacca and
[Georgetown] and the reason for the induction of these two cities is because they have had over 500 years of
Culture and trades between the east and west and as for these two cities
They are formally known as the cities of the straits of Malacca which were inscribed in 2008
But like I said the other you any seo site are actually
[natural] [park] and one of the reasons for this is because Malaysia has had a dark time in its history
When it comes to its environment and dark time is a result of deforestation
Between 2000 and 2012 Malaysia has the highest percentage of forest loss coming in at 14.4% equaling over
[47,000] [278] square kilometres and much of that is due [to] companies wanting palm oil, and it's really quite unfortunate
But however let's not give up all hope because Malaysia does have
Organizations that want to protect its environment and with that in mind the country is still home to
14,500 species of flowering plants and trees over 200 species of mammals
600 Bird species and many other amazing little creatures roaming around the country and comparing we're talking about the environment
Let's talk about Sipadan Island a Treasure in Malaysia now
This is the only oceanic islands to be
2,000 feet above sea level [and] it's not just in type that makes it an interesting place
But it is home to some interesting little creatures as well firstly in
1933 it [was] listed as a bird sanctuary an ultimate history
It has had territorial disputes between Malaysia and indonesia [one] of the most fascinating things about this island
It was created by a volcanic rock and because of that it is home to over
3,000 species of fish and Coral
And it is considered one of the richest habitats for Marine life and for those reasons alone
It is one of the greatest places to Scuba dive on the entire Planet
Divers come from all over the world just to [see] the Marine life
Species like Manta Rays and Sea Turtles which use the area for mating purposes
Today you have it guys this is another video talking about another great, South Asian Country
My name is Dave Wampa and before I get out of here guys be sure to leave a comment for A future FTD facts video
But it's been great talking about Malaysia a country of beauty and change with a vast amount of biodiversity and Cultural diversity
it is a place where one can see the natural and
Historical aspects of life which makes us reflect on who we are as human [beings] and responsible caretakers of this planet it is Malaysia
The country called the peninsula of gold, but it is a treasure of Peace prosperity and above all life
