Since its independence, Malaysia has been highly successful in manufacturing and service industries. However, the economy of Malaysia heavily relies on its natural resources such as natural gas, oil and timber. The economy of Malaysia is diversified sectorally and regionally. The four largest states that have contributed to the GDP of Malaysia are the state of Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, the state of Johor and the state of Sarawak. These states are the core country's manufacturing and services sectors.
