Districts of Malaysia

Malaysia is divided into 13 states (Negeri) and 3 federal territories (Wilayah Persekutuan). 11 states and 2 federal territories are on Peninsula Malaysia, the other 2 states and 1 federal territory are in East Malaysia. As Malaysia is a federation, the governance of the states is divided between the federal and the state governments, while the Federal government has direct control over the federal territories.[citation needed]

The 13 states are based on historical Malay Kingdoms, and each state is further divided into districts (daerah or jajahan in Kelantan), which are then divided into mukim. 9 of the 13 states, known as the Malay States, retain their royal families. The Federal King (titled Yang di-Pertuan Agong) is elected (de facto rotated) among the nine rulers to serve a 5-year term.[9] Each state has a unicameral legislature called Dewan Undangan Negeri. The states of East Malaysia (Sabah and Sarawak) have separate immigration policies and controls and a unique residency status.[57] Visas are required for travel between these two states or between either state and peninsular Malaysia
