Malaysian States by Size

The figure represents each state's contribution to Malaysia's GDP, measured in 2005 prices from smallest to biggest. Close to 40% of Malaysia's GDP comes from Greater Kuala Lumpur (GKL), the region inclusive of Selangor and KL. It is no surprise then that one of the 12 key economic areas of focus in Malaysia's transformation program (see here) is GKL. Seven states contribute less than 5% each (the ones in red). The ones in orange contribute between 5 and 10%. A later post will show how these states compare on a per capita basis.
