Districts Of Malaysia
Districts ( Malay: '' Daerah''; '' Jajahan'' in Kelantan) are a type of administrative division below the state level in Malaysia. An administrative district is administered by a lands and district office (''pejabat daerah dan tanah'') which is headed by district officer (''pegawai daerah''). Classification In Peninsular Malaysia, a district is a subdivision of a state. A '' mukim'' ( commune, sub-district or parish) is a subdivision of a district. In recent years, a mukim is however of less importance with respect to the administration of land; for land administrative purposes, major cities (e.g. Petaling Jaya) are given an equal status with mukim. The state of Perlis is not divided into districts due to its size, but straight to the mukim level. The Federal Territories are also not divided into districts; however Kuala Lumpur is divided into several mukim for land administration purposes. Putrajaya is divided into ''precincts''. In East Malaysia, a district is a subdivisi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
