Background:
|
During the late 18th and 19th centuries, Great Britain
established colonies and protectorates in the area of current
Malaysia; these were occupied by Japan from 1942 to 1945. In
1948, the British-ruled territories on the Malay Peninsula
formed the Federation of Malaya, which became independent in
1957. Malaysia was formed in 1963 when the former British
colonies of Singapore and the East Malaysian states of Sabah and
Sarawak on the northern coast of Borneo joined the Federation.
The first several years of the country's history were marred by
Indonesian efforts to control Malaysia, Philippine claims to
Sabah, and Singapore's secession from the Federation in 1965.
During the 22-year term of Prime Minister MAHATHIR bin Mohamad
(1981-2003), Malaysia was successful in diversifying its economy
from dependence on exports of raw materials, to expansion in
manufacturing, services, and tourism. |

Economy - overview:
|
Malaysia, a middle-income country, transformed itself from 1971
through the late 1990s from a producer of raw materials into an
emerging multi-sector economy. Growth was almost exclusively
driven by exports - particularly of electronics. As a result,
Malaysia was hard hit by the global economic downturn and the
slump in the information technology (IT) sector in 2001 and
2002. GDP in 2001 grew only 0.5% because of an estimated 11%
contraction in exports, but a substantial fiscal stimulus
package equal to US $1.9 billion mitigated the worst of the
recession, and the economy rebounded in 2002 with a 4.1%
increase. The economy grew 4.9% in 2003, notwithstanding a
difficult first half, when external pressures from Severe Acute
Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and the Iraq War led to caution in
the business community. Growth topped 7% in 2004 and 5% in 2005.
As an oil and gas exporter, Malaysia has profited from higher
world energy prices, although the cost of government subsidies
for domestic gasoline and diesel fuel has risen and offset some
of the benefit. Malaysia "unpegged" the ringgit from the US
dollar in 2005, but so far there has been little movement in the
exchange rate. Healthy foreign exchange reserves, low inflation,
and a small external debt are all strengths that make it
unlikely that Malaysia will experience a financial crisis over
the near term similar to the one in 1997. The economy remains
dependent on continued growth in the US, China, and Japan - top
export destinations and key sources of foreign investment.

Disputes - international:
|
Malaysia has asserted sovereignty over the Spratly Islands
together with China, Philippines, Taiwan, Vietnam, and possibly
Brunei; while the 2002 "Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in
the South China Sea" has eased tensions over the Spratly
Islands, it is not the legally binding "code of conduct" sought
by some parties; Malaysia was not party to the March 2005 joint
accord among the national oil companies of China, the
Philippines, and Vietnam on conducting marine seismic activities
in the Spratly Islands; disputes continue over deliveries of
fresh water to Singapore, Singapore's land reclamation, bridge
construction, maritime boundaries, and Pedra Branca Island/Pulau
Batu Putih - but parties agree to ICJ arbitration on island
dispute within three years; ICJ awarded Ligitan and Sipadan
islands, also claimed by Indonesia and Philippines, to Malaysia
but left maritime boundary in the hydrocarbon-rich Celebes Sea
in dispute, culminating in hostile confrontations in March 2005
over concessions to the Ambalat oil block; separatist violence
in Thailand's predominantly Muslim southern provinces prompts
measures to close and monitor border with Malaysia to stem
terrorist activities; Philippines retains a now dormant claim to
Malaysia's Sabah State in northern Borneo; in 2003, Brunei and
Malaysia ceased gas and oil exploration in their disputed
offshore and deepwater seabeds and negotiations have stalemated
prompting consideration of international adjudication;
Malaysia's land boundary with Brunei around Limbang is in
dispute; piracy remains a problem in the Malacca Strait |

current situation: Malaysia is a destination and, to a
lesser extent, a source and transit country for men and women
trafficked for the purposes of sexual exploitation and forced
labor; foreign victims, mostly women and girls from China,
Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, and Vietnam, are
trafficked to Malaysia for commercial sexual exploitation;
economic migrants from countries in the region who work as
domestic servants or laborers in the construction and
