Clues to look for
Cars drive on the left. Signs are in Malay (Latin letters). Palm oil plantations, mosques and tropical greenery.
Driving side
Cars in Malaysia drive on the left. So do Timor-Leste, which are also in Southeast Asia. Fewer than a quarter of countries drive on the left, so spotting it narrows things down a lot.
Countries it's easy to confuse with Malaysia
If you guess a neighbour of Malaysia you still score 2 points, and any other country in Southeast Asia scores 1 point.
