Correct the discrepancy in map image


FOR many decades, RTM viewers have been shown falsely smaller geographical sizes of Sabah and Sarawak viv-a-vis the size of Peninsular Malaysia (Malaya) on images where both east and west Malaysia are represented on the same graphic.

In fact, Sarawak is just slightly smaller than Peninsular Malaysia while Sabah is almost half the size of the peninsula. Thus, the true image of Sabah and Sarawak combined should be one and half times the size of Peninsular Malaysia. This should be the true geographical representation of the two parts of Malaysia on maps and images on RTM.
