Talk:List of cities in Malaysia

Untitled
I question the need for Kuching to be classified as Kuching North and Kuching South when both articles actually converge into meaning the proper city itself. Even in the main article itself, no mention was made as to the particular partition of a north and south urban area. I suggest that these two separate entries should been merged. - Arthur Oon 05:37, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

Cities' seals and flags
I noticed that most cities and towns were not granted seals on their own right but rather to the administrators (i.e DBKL, MPPJ, Putrajaya corporation, MBSA). Though the flags can be argued belonging to the cities (KL, Putrajaya, Ipoh) but with Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur instead of just Kuala Lumpur doesn't that demonstrate the point? Am I correct? Or are they actually cities/towns that have their own city seals? -- Bukhrin 17:50, 13 January 2007 (UTC)


 * The corporation is the legal manifestation of the city. Land and concrete can't do anything or own anything. That is why in England most city councils' formal legal title is "The Mayor and Citizens of the City of X". Andrew Yong 17:35, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Cities over 100,000 population
I question the figures given under the "cities with >100000 population". Are the figures given for population in areas administered by certain local authorities? These figures do not give a good impression of the cities' actual population. This is because the size of areas under the administration of local authorities differ from each other. Taman Greenwood sound more like a suburb to me. Besides, there's no definition given for city/town. Does a city/town's population include the population outside the boundary of its local authority?

There's also the big problem of defining towns and cities in Klang Valley. I think Subang Jaya is more like a huge suburb because most people who live there don't work there.

I think figures from a Department of Statistics giving metropolitan and city/town populations with proper definitions should be better. Wai Hong 11:28, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Maybe we can change the title to "Urban areas with >100,000 pop." ? About the rest, im not sure la. kawaputra tok2me 12:56, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Kuching is ONE city
Kuching is one city. Although it is administered by 2 local councils, it is still one city. So please just list Kuching, dont list Kuching North and Kuching South. This article is about "Cities of Malaysia" not "City Councils of Malaysia" kawaputra torque 05:46, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Something wrong
About the Template list: the text just above the Template says Kuala Lumpur is by far the largest city, but in the template "Subang Jaya" is the #1 city.

Also the template has top 20 cities, but the above list has only 12 of which one is not in top 20. So, apart from Subang Jaya, there are other 8 missing. 85.217.47.157 (talk) 22:48, 26 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Ive changed the word city to "urban area". Perhaps just as a temporary solution. I believe the list in the template is talking about population of administrative districts local govt areas. Which could be roughly be translated to mean "city". If that's the case then KL would not be the largest city anymore. But if thats not the case then the template might have to be amended: Template:Largest cities and towns of Malaysia.


 * Another thing we might have to make clear is the meaning of "city". The 12 listed cities in the article are places which has been officially granted city status. So in that sense maybe we should amend the template list to reflect this. ќמшמφטтгמ torque 04:48, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
