Malaysia is the 43rd most populated country in the world. It is a tropical country, bordered by Thailand, Indonesia, Brunei, on land. Over the waters, it is bordered by Singapore, Vietnam and the Philippines. It is separated in to two parts, West Malaysia and East Malaysia, it has 13 states and three federal territories. Malaysia has one of the best economical records. Their natural resources and geographical location help in their economy as well.
Malaysia is a great place to trade due to The Strait of Malacca, the most important trade route in the world, in between Malacca and Peninsular Malaysia. Malaysia is known for its natural resources. Once, Malaysia was even the biggest producer of palm oil, tin and rubber in the world. The trade route (Strait of Malacca) and manufacturing are two of the big economy money makers, our trades going international. Malaysia offers natural agricultural resources, the most valuable is petroleum (that's why Petronas even exists.) Tourism is starting to win over manufacturing, the government is trying to do that, which is why they made the campaign of tourism. Malaysia Truly Asia. Malaysia also has its land helping with its development.
Malaysia is the 66th largest country (land.) With being near the equator, Malaysia is hot and humid through out the year. The rainfall is 2000 mm (yearly) and the average temperature is 27 degrees Celsius. There are two wind monsoons, the South West Monsoon and the North East Monsoon. With all this rain, the soil is good, resulting in a great farming source.
In trade, Malaysia is starting to receive technology from other countries. Malaysia is one of the biggest exporters of semiconductor devices, electrical devices, and information, communication products. The Malaysian Armed Forces uses high tech weapons (designed and made by other countries) and local military weapons.
Malaysia develops through its natural resources through trade and the geographical land also helps the natural resources grow. This is how it helps develop Malaysia.

My Adventure
I dug my way out of the dirt. There was high tide last night and every mudskipper in this area got buried under the deep dirt. I had spent the whole night digging my way out. I saw my brother whining about how tired he was. I rolled my eyes. Only a few mudskippers were out of the dirt.
"Stay close to the trees today, if you need to go anywhere, ask me." My mom yelled. I jumped to the family tree, everyone else already there. All the mudskippers fell asleep and I was still awake. So was my mom. We were staying awake, rescuing the other mudskippers. People say I'm a skilled mud diver. Even the guys deny but they're asleep. They call themselves strong. I saw a big group of humans. I stared at them. My mom was diving in to the mud to help my sister. I saw squirming in the mud and thought about it. Save the squirming mudskipper or don't get squished by humans. I jumped in anyways. I always leave a tunnel when I dive in, easier to get out. I was pushed suddenly deeper, my tunnel closed. Humans have huge feet, that's all I have to say. I saw the baby mudskipper and started to push it up. After a while, the baby got stronger and pushed itself up to the top. I emerged at the top with the baby. We were punneled back at least 1 foot down. I pushed the mud out of my way and got back to the top. The baby emerged and I took it in to my arm. We were a long way from the family tree. Humans were going 2 humans each time. They were planting trees. It was interesting, my grandfather always told me stories about humans planting trees, that are the big ones I see today. But than, grandfather got stepped on a human and he's in a better place. That's what mom says.
"How are we going to get back?" the baby asked me.
"Well, first, what's your name?" I asked.
"Amo." the baby answered. Probably didn't know its own name correctly.
"My name's Green, I'll be helping you get back." I explained.
'Amo' nodded his head happily.
Ok, it's been an hour and we keep on getting shoved under the dirt. The humans are slopping dirt everywhere. Only a while ago, a bunch of boys got stuck in the mud. I saw one, they called him "Gerald." He was slopping the mud around in his hands, he was playing with it. One of his slops landed on my mom and I had to dig her out quickly before I got slopped also. I was still way on the other side of the family tree. One whole side away and meters away from across the tree. Amo looked up at me.
"This is fun." Amo giggled. I looked at him as if he was crazy. I nodded my head from side to side.
"I guess it is fun. I mean, it's not that bad." I muttered back. The group of humans got smaller and smaller. Eventually, there were only 4 left. They were huge but not as big as that big man next to them. Two girls, they were called I think, Li Yen and Valerie. I had heard the third girl talking to them. Their voices are loud, as if someone was screaming in my ear. Li Yen and Valerie ran like mad. Amo and I were around in the middle of the dirt. They ran past us and Amo sighed happily. I saw them slop some mud as they ran back past us. I quickly shoved the dirt off Amo. I went to go look at the trees up close. Amo was next to me and I smiled. The tree would grow up larger and future generations would see it. The third girl, I think named Nabeeta? Daabeeta? Her name sounds confusing, but she ran quickly over to plant the tree. The man probably wanted to get it over with, because he did most of the work. Dabeeta's foot closed on to us and I held Amo tightly. I held also on to Daabeeta's shoe. She lifted her foot up and kicked off the mud. Amo and I went flying in the air. We landed at the family tree. I smiled happily as my whole family stared at us. They all broke in to applause.
"Let's do it again." Amo shrieked.
"Tomorrow. Just maybe, we can do it again tomorrow." I muttered.
