Peninsular Malaysia (Semenanjung Malaysia) occupies the Malayan Peninsula between Thailand and Singapore, and is also known as West Malaysia (Malaysia Barat) or the slightly archaic Malaya (Tanah Melayu). Home to the bulk of Malaysia's population, including its capital and largest city Kuala Lumpur, it's more economically developed than East Malaysia.
