Countries that border Malaysia
3 land neighbours: Brunei, Indonesia and Thailand. Each one has a page of its own.
Why this one is hard
3 neighbours to keep in the right order.
Its 3 land borders are joint 7th-most in Asia — level with Cambodia, North Korea, Oman and Vietnam. None of its neighbours borders another, so there is no chain to walk — every one of them has to be learned on its own. Thailand is the most connected of them, with 4 land borders of its own. All of them deal on the Asia board alongside Malaysia, and on the world board with everyone else in Asia.

The capital
Kuala Lumpur
Capital Rush deals Malaysia and offers four capitals; this is the one that pays. It comes up on the Asia board and on the world board, which is twice as many chances to get it wrong.
The flag
Flag Blitz flies it and offers four countries — Malaysia is the one that owns it.
