human development index (hdi) values should be included in the table comparing the different states and federal districts for all the states and districts —Preceding unsigned comment added by 116.14.50.201 ( talk) 05:30, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
I don't speak Malay though I lived in KL to the age of three, so I am guessing that negeri-negeri and wilayah-wilayah persekutuan are plural - if so I would have thought that negeri and wilayah persekutuan are more helpful to English readers and more natural in Malay when written with 13 and 3. -- Henrygb 00:07, 30 Jul 2004 (UTC)
I note that the CIA's Malaysia Administrative Divisions map on this article shows the name of the states to be "Melaka" and "Pulau Pinang". However currently wikipedia has those names redirected to Malacca and Penang. Shouldn't we have it the other way around? -- sabre23t 03:23, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)

The article title is "States of Malaysia", so one would expect to see some brief facts about the states in Malaysia such as area, population, etc. However, there is currently a section "Elections" in the article, which is basically a summary of the Malaysian general election, 2008 and Permatang Pauh by-election, 2008. IMO, should we want a section about elections in the article, it should cover about the electoral system in the states in general, for example: how is the state assembly elected, how a party can gain control of the state government, each state sends two representatives to the Dewan Negara etc. It should not be a retelling of the 2008 elections; Malaysian general election, 2008 has served the purpose. I think the article U.S. state is a good reference on how this article should look like. -- Joshua Say "hi" to me! What I've done? 19:24, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
