Malaysia consists of 13 states, namely Johor, Kedah, Kelantan, Malacca, Negeri Sembilan, Pahang, Perak, Perlis, Penang, Sabah, Sarawak, Selangor and Terengganu.
Apart from the 13 states, there are three Federal Territories, which are administered under the authorities of the
Ministry of Federal Territories
. Currently, there are three Federal Territories in Malaysia. They are Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya and Labuan.
The Federal Territories have equivalent status to other states in Malaysia but do not have a head of state or a state assembly.
As at the Federal level, there is a corresponding separation of governing powers at the State level ? among the Executive, Judicial and Legislative Authorities ? in line with the concept of federalism.
