How Does the Geographical Location of Malaysia Make it Wealthy

The main reason that Malaysia is wealthy because of the geographic location is that traders used to ship in or pass Malaysia and Singapore to go across to the Pacific so when they passed they would stop to trade.  Ships would send in large amounts of different items to trade and also the people would come from many different places, some wealthy some not and if they were wealthy they would bring in very expensive items.  Yet the poor people when they came they had items that were not found in the country so others wanted to buy them.  Some traders would stay in Malaysia for part time or even life long to trade for their job so when they returned to their country they had enough money to live.  When the wealthy people came to live in Malaysia for life long that also bought Malaysia money, this would have given more poor people houses, education and jobs.  The rich people would trade in their expensive items for the items Malaysia had to offer example palm oil, wood, tin and rubber.  The rich people who came were impressed because they may have had expensive items but did not have what Malaysia produced.  Also that is when they started to farm they would plant their own crops which bought in more visitors because they had a stable food supply unlike some countries when they need to go out every day and hunt and gather.  The Malaysian people were smart and they started up school for educational uses this bought in even more visitors who had children and then they could go to schools and get an education in other trades and about countries.  For the people who lived in cold countries Malaysia is just off the equator and visitors would come here to get warmth.  These were a few of the examples of why Malaysia is wealthy.

The Day when the Giants Attacked

One day I was with my family in the mangroves building our new home in Kuala Selangor.  We were about to make my bedroom or my hole as the humans call it when suddenly my sister got squished and my Dad and Mum started screaming because we all thought she was dead when suddenly the thing moved and my sister was okay.  UGG.  Me and my sister don't get on very well we always fight and we hate each other so when she got squished I started laughing and it was a disappointment to find out she lived - whatever back to the point.  I went up to the surface of the mud to see what that thing was and it was a giant, the giant had long hair and whenever she touched the mud she would scream so I thought it would be funny to pull a prank on her since she was such a sissy girl.  So I was thinking of my plan then I had it the most wonderful idea so without anyone seeing me I slivered up to the girls foot and no-one saw me so I slipped into her shoe before you know it she felt some slivering going up her leg.  She did not know what it was so she checked her leg and saw ME.  She screamed like crazy her boot was caught in the mud so her foot slipped out of the boot and she started squrming around.  I was laughing like mad because I would not come off.  She was getting really frustrated with me so she grabbed me and threw me away next thing you know I am back in my hole.  My mum and dad both looking really mad at me and my sister who looked as scared as possible were all frowning at me.  Then my Mum started giving me a lecture on why you should not scare the giants because they were going to eat us or kill us or something like that.  Then above us a shadow cast, it was a boy with a big head then he picked my sister up she was screaming like crazy he tried to eat her then my mum said I had to go and rescue her.  I squggled up his hand and broke my sister free she grabbed me and hugged me "Eeewwww".  I went up to the surface right away when I got there I saw huge people and the biggest man I had ever seen (Mr Smith).  Zooooom.  A boy dashing across the mud field he nearly stepped in my hole but as I see next to the boy there is a girl stuck knee high.  When I looked farther behind them I see a man and some kids doing stuff with these sticks I just ignored them and then one of my friends came along he was screaming.  He kept asking me over and over what these things were and I told them I did not know but my parents had told me so many stories of how they devour us.  They told me that they will just pick us up squish us chew us to death and then eat us whole.  He was in shock he said "what filthy beasts".  Now the whole mud area was packed with people one kid stood in there for about an hour and still remains I heard a woman calling "okay guys it is time to pack up and leave" then the people started dashing towards the exit.  The one person still remained.  I thought I should help him out a bit so I crept up and went into her sock and she looked at me and picked me up and threw me away.  Then she started to walk "yes I had done it everyone was cleared out of the area".  Woohoo guys lets celebrate.  We lived through the war.  Yeeeehaaaaa.
