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.
