List of islands of Malaysia

None

None

This is a list of islands of Malaysia. According to the Department of Survey and Mapping, Malaysia, there are 879 islands in the country. The state of Sabah has the most islands with 395 islands within its waters. Apart from that, Malaysia also has 510 offshore geographical features which include rocks, sandbanks and ridges. In 2015, it was reported that Malaysia still has over 535 unnamed islands, prompting the need for the government to take quick action to prevent neighbouring countries from taking over these islands. Most of the islands in the state of Sabah have been given a name, according to a statement from the State Land and Survey Department director.
