A High Price for Prosperity Some Southeast Asian countries—
such as Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore—have become major
economic centers. They manufacture goods and export natural
resources. One possible negative impact of this economic prosperity
might be the destruction of the region’s beautiful
landscapes.

South of China and east of India lies Southeast Asia. This region
includes thousands of islands and a long arm of land called the
Malay Peninsula. Several countries lie entirely on the mainland of
Southeast Asia. They are Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and
Vietnam.
Myanmar Myanmar, also called Burma, is about the size of Texas.
Rugged,
steep mountains sweep through its western and eastern borders. Two
wide rivers—the Irrawaddy (IHR•ah•WAH•dee) and the Salween— flow
through vast lowland plains between these mountain ranges.
Monsoons, or seasonal winds that blow over a continent for months
at a time, cause wet summers and dry winters in Myanmar.
About two-thirds of the country’s people farm. The main crops are
rice, sugarcane, beans, and peanuts. Some farmers work their fields
with tractors, but most rely on plows pulled by water
buffalo.

Myanmar exports wood products, gas, and foods such as beans and
rice. The country provides about 75 percent of the world’s teak-
wood. Myanmar’s prized forests are decreasing, however, because of
deforestation. This is the widespread cutting of trees.
Fortunately, the country also exports precious gems. Precious gems
are valuable stones such as rubies, sapphires, and jade.
Almost 75 percent of Myanmar’s 49.5 million people live in rural
areas. The most densely populated part of the country is the
fertile Irrawaddy River valley. Many rural dwellers build their
homes on poles above the ground for protection from floods and wild
animals.
The capital and largest city, Yangon (formerly called Rangoon), is
famous for its modern university and its gold-covered Buddhist tem-
ples. Buddhism is the main religion in Myanmar. Most people are of
Burman heritage, and Burmese is the main language.
Myanmar was part of British India for many years. It became an
independent republic in 1948. Since then,military leaders have
turned Myanmar into a socialist country. Socialism is an economic
system in which most businesses are owned and run by the
government. Some

people have tried to build a democracy in Myanmar. A woman named
Aung San Suu Kyi (AWNG SAN SOO CHEE) has become a leader in this
struggle. In 1991 she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for her
efforts but still faces opposition from the government today.
Where is Myanmar’s most densely populated area?
Thailand The map on page shows you that Thailand looks like a
flower
on a stem. The “flower” is the northern part, located on the
mainland. The “stem” is a narrow strip on the Malay Peninsula. The
country’s main waterway—the Chao Phraya (chow PRY•uh) River—flows
through a central plain. Like Myanmar, Thailand has wet summer mon-
soons and dry winter monsoons.
Once called Siam, Thailand means “land of the free.” It is the only
Southeast Asian country that has never been a European colony. The
Thai people trace their independence as a kingdom back to the A.D.
1200s. Thailand is a constitutional monarchy with a king.
One of Thailand’s agricultural products is rubber. The government
has taken steps to limit deforestation to protect this industry.
Thailand is also one of the world’s leading producers of tin and
tungsten. Most manufacturing is located near Bangkok, the capital.
Workers make cement, textiles, computers, and electrical
appliances. Tourism is an important industry as well.
Most of Thailand’s 63.1 million people belong to the Thai ethnic
group and practice Buddhism. Hundreds of Buddhist temples called
wats dot the cities and countryside. Buddhist monks, or holy men,
walk among the people to receive food offerings.
About 80 percent of Thais live in rural villages, although
thousands look for jobs in Bangkok. This city has beautiful temples
and royal palaces that are surrounded by modern skyscrapers and
crowded streets. Bangkok has so many cars that daily traffic jams
last for hours.
Thailand is a leading producer of what two elements?
Laos and Cambodia Landlocked Laos is covered by mountains. Southern
Laos includes
a fertile area along the Mekong (MAY•KAWNG) River, Southeast Asia’s
longest river. Once a French colony, Laos became independent more
than fifty years ago.
Laos is an economically poor country. Its Communist government has
only recently allowed tourism. About 80 percent of Laos’s 5.6
million people live in rural areas. Farmers grow rice, sweet
potatoes, sugarcane, and corn along the Mekong’s fertile banks.
Industry is largely undeveloped because of isolation and years of
civil war. A civil war is a fight among different groups within a
country. Laos lacks railroads and has electricity in only a few
cities. Vientiane (vyehn•TYAHN) is the largest city and capital.
The Communist government discourages religion, but most Laotians
remain Buddhists.
Life as a Monk After his grandfather
died, Nattawud Daoruang became a novice Buddhist monk. “You see,”
he says, “Thai Buddhists believe they can get to paradise by
holding on to a monk’s robe. So I became a monk for a month to help
my grandfather get to para- dise. The novice monks had to get up at
5:00 A.M. and meditate. After that, we had free time so we read
comics and played games on the monks’ Play Station™. In the
afternoons, we walked around the vil- lage with the monks to get
food and drink.”

Cambodia For many years, Cambodia was a rich farming country that
exported rice and rubber. By the 1980s, its economy was in ruins
because of years of civil war and harsh Communist rule. Cambodia’s
few factories produce items such as wood products,textiles,and
rubber.
Most of Cambodia’s 12.6 million people belong to the Khmer
(kuh•MEHR) ethnic group. About 82 percent live in rural villages.
The rest live in cities such as the capital, Phnom Penh (puh•NAWM
PEHN). Buddhism is Cambodia’s main religion. About 1,000 years ago,
Cambodia was the center of the vast Khmer Empire. During Khmer
rule, huge temple complexes like Angkor Wat were built.
In modern times, Cambodia was under French rule, becoming inde-
pendent in 1953. Since the 1960s, there has been almost constant
war- fare among rival political groups. A Communist government led
by the dictator Pol Pot took control in the mid-1970s. Pol Pot
forced many city dwellers to move to rural areas and work as
farmers.More than 1 million Cambodians died. Some fled to other
countries. In 1993 Cambodia brought back its king, but rivalry
among political groups continues.
Why is Cambodia’s economy in ruins?
Vietnam Vietnam’s long eastern coastline borders the Gulf of
Tonkin, the
South China Sea, and the Gulf of Thailand. In the north lies the
fer- tile delta of the Red River. A delta is an area of land formed
by soil deposits at the mouth of a river. In the south you find the
wide,swampy delta of the Mekong River. Monsoons bring wet and dry
seasons.
Farmers grow large amounts of rice, sugarcane,cassava, sweet pota-
toes,corn,bananas,and coffee in river deltas.Vietnam’s mountain
forests provide wood, and the South China Sea yields large catches
of fish.
Architecture The temple of Angkor Wat in northwestern
Cambodia was built during the 1100s. Dedi- cated to the Hindu god
Vishnu, much of the temple is covered with elaborately carved char-
acters from Hindu legends. The Khmer people designed Angkor Wat to
represent the Hindu view of the universe. The moat surrounding the
temple stood for the oceans. The tall central tower symbolized
Mount Meru, center of the universe and home of the various forms of
the Hindu supreme being.
Looking Closer How does the design of Angkor Wat reflect the
beliefs of the builders?

With almost 80.8 million people, Vietnam has the largest popula-
tion in mainland Southeast Asia.About 75 percent live in rural
villages. The largest urban area is Ho Chi Minh (HOH CHEE MIHN)
City, named for the country’s first Communist leader. Located in
the south, it used to be called Saigon (sy•GAHN). Vietnam’s
capital, Hanoi, is located in the north. Most people are Buddhists
and belong to the Vietnamese ethnic group. The rest are Chinese,
Cambodians, and other Asian eth- nic groups.Vietnamese is the major
language,but Chinese,English,and French are also spoken.
The ancestors of Vietnam’s people came from China more than 2,000
years ago. From the late 1800s to the mid-1950s, Vietnam was under
French rule. Vietnamese Communists drove out the French in 1954.
The Communist government controlled northern Vietnam, while an
American-supported government ruled the south. In the 1960s,
fighting between these two groups led to the Vietnam War. During
this extended conflict, more than 2.5 million Americans helped
fight against the Communists. The United States eventually withdrew
its forces in 1973. Within two years, the Communists had captured
the south. Many thousands of people fled Vietnam, settling in the
United States and other countries.
In recent years, Vietnam’s Communist leaders have opened the
country to Western ideas, businesses, and tourists. They have also
loos- ened government controls on the economy. In these two ways,
the Communist leaders hope to raise Vietnam’s standard of
living.

Contour intervals in meters200
A trail map would show the paths you could follow if you went
hiking in the moun- tains. How would you know if the trail fol-
lows an easy, flat route, though, or if it cuts steeply up a
mountain? To find out, you need a contour map.
Learning the Skill Contour maps use lines to outline the
shape—or contour—of the landscape. Each contour line connects all
points that are at the same elevation. This means that if you
walked along one contour line, you would always be at the same
height above sea level.
Where the contour lines are far apart, the land rises gradually.
Where the lines are close together, the land rises steeply. For
example, one contour line may be labeled 1,000 meters (3,281 ft.).
Another contour line very close to the first one may be labeled
2,000 meters (6,562 ft.). This means that the land rises 1,000
meters (3,281 ft.) in just a short distance.
To read a contour map, follow these steps:
• Identify the area shown on the map. • Read the numbers on the
contour lines to
determine how much the elevation increases or decreases with each
line.
• Locate the highest and lowest numbers, which indicate the highest
and lowest elevations.
• Notice the amount of space between the lines, which tells you
whether the land is steep or flat.
Practicing the Skill Study the contour map above, and then
answer the following questions.
1. What area is shown on the map? 2. What is the lowest elevation
on the map? 3. What is the highest elevation on the map? 4. Where
is the landscape flattest? How can
you tell? 5. How would you describe the physical
geography of this island?
Turn to page 10 in the Geography Handbook. Use the contour map of
Sri Lanka to answer the five questions above.

The island countries of Southeast Asia are Indonesia, East Timor,
Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei (bru•NY), and the Philippines.
Indonesia is Southeast Asia’s largest country. It is an archipelago
of more than 13,600 islands.
Indonesia and East Timor The map on page shows you the major
islands of Indonesia—
Sumatra, Java, and Celebes (SEH•luh•BEEZ). Indonesia also shares
two large islands with other countries. Most of the island of
Borneo belongs to Indonesia. In addition, Indonesia controls the
western half of the island of Timor. Another country—East
Timor—lies on the eastern half.
Indonesia lies where two of the earth’s tectonic plates
meet.Tectonic plates are huge slabs of rock that make up the
earth’s crust. Indonesia’s location on top of these plates causes
it to experience earthquakes.

The volcanoes that formed Indonesia have left a rich covering of
ash that makes the soil good for farming.Because Indonesia lies on
the Equator, its climate is tropical. Monsoons bring a wet season
and a dry season. The tropical climate, combined with fertile soil,
has allowed dense rain forests to spread.
Economic Activities Foreign companies build factories on the island
of Java because labor is inexpensive. Agriculture provides work for
nearly half of the people of Indonesia. Farmers grow rice, coffee,
cassava, tea, and peanuts. The country of East Timor also has
agricul- tural products such as coffee, mangoes, and vanilla.
Indonesia has large reserves of oil and natural gas. Its mines
yield tin, silver, nickel, copper, bauxite, and gold. Dense rain
forests provide teak and other valuable woods. Some companies that
own large tracts of land are cutting down the trees very quickly.
The environment suf- fers from this deforestation. When the trees
are cut down, rich soil runs off into the sea during heavy
rains.
People of Indonesia and East Timor Indonesia has about 220.5
million people—the fourth-largest population in the world. It is
also one of the world’s most densely populated countries. On Java
you will find Jakarta (juh•KAHR•tuh), Indonesia’s capital and
largest city. It has modern buildings and streets crowded with cars
and bicycles.
Forty-five percent of Indonesians belong to the Javanese ethnic
group. The official language, Bahasa Indonesia, is taught in
schools. Indonesia has more followers of Islam than any other
country. Other religions, such as Christianity and Buddhism, are
also practiced. On the beautiful island of Bali, Hindu beliefs are
held by most of the people.
Thousands of years ago, Hindus and Buddhists from India settled the
islands that are today Indonesia. Their descendants set up king-
doms. These kingdoms grew wealthy by controlling the trade that
passed through the waterways between the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
In the A.D. 1100s, traders from Southwest Asia brought Islam to the
region. Four hundred years later, Europeans arrived to acquire the
valuable spices grown here. They brought Christianity to the
islands. The Dutch eventually controlled most of the islands as a
colony. Inde- pendence finally came to Indonesia in 1949.
In the late 1990s,severe economic problems led to
unrest.Indonesia’s people forced their dictator to resign. Today
the country has a demo- cratic government. With so many different
ethnic groups, many small political parties arise. As a result,
Indonesia’s leaders find it difficult to form a government that is
strong enough to deal with challenges.
Most recently, the people of East Timor, who are largely Roman
Catholic and were once ruled by Portugal, voted for independence
from Indonesia. In 2002 East Timor was internationally recognized
as independent and the world’s newest democracy. About 800,000 peo-
ple live here.

Malaysia Malaysia is located on the southern end of
the Malay Peninsula and also on the island of Borneo. Dense rain
forests and rugged moun- tains make up the landscape. The Strait of
Malacca lies to the west of the Malay Peninsula. A strait is a
narrow body of water between two pieces of land. The Strait of
Malacca is an impor- tant waterway for trade between the Indian
Ocean and the Java Sea.
Malaysia is a world leader in exporting rub- ber and palm oil. The
country also exports petroleum and natural gas.Malaysia is rich in
tin, iron ore, copper, and bauxite. Consumer and high-technology
goods, including microchips, are produced here. Malaysia’s ports
are impor- tant centers of trade as well. Kuala Lumpur (KWAH•luh
LUM•PUR) is the capital and largest city. The Petronas Towers—among
the world’s tallest buildings—soar above this city. In con- trast,
many rural villagers live in thatched-roof homes built on posts a
few feet off the ground.
Most of Malaysia’s 25.1 million people belong to the Malay ethnic
group. Their ancestors came
from southern China thousands of years ago. In the 1800s, the
British—who then ruled Malaysia—brought in Chinese and South Asian
workers to mine tin and to work on rubber plantations. As a result,
in marketplaces today you can hear Malay, Chinese, Tamil, and
English spoken. Most Malaysians are Muslims, but there are also
large numbers of Buddhists, Christians, and Hindus.
Where are the Petronas Towers located?
Singapore, Brunei, and the Philippines
Singapore lies off the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula. It is
made up of Singapore Island and 58 smaller islands. Singapore is
one of the world’s smallest countries, yet it has one of the
world’s most productive economies. The city of Singapore is the
capital and takes up much of Singapore Island. Once covered by rain
forests, Singapore Island now holds highways, factories, office
buildings, and docks.
The city of Singapore has one of the world’s busiest harbors. It is
a free port. This is a place where goods can be unloaded, stored,
and shipped again without payment of import taxes. Huge amounts of
goods pass through this port. Singapore’s many factories make high-
tech goods,machinery,chemicals,and paper products.Because of their
productive trade economy, the people of Singapore enjoy a high
stan- dard of living.

Founded by the British in the early 1800s, Singapore became an
independent republic in 1965. Most of the country’s 4.2 million
peo- ple are Chinese, but Malaysians and Indians make up about 25
percent of the population.
Brunei On the northern coast of Borneo lies another small nation—
Brunei. Oil and natural gas exports provide about half of the
country’s income. Brunei’s citizens receive free education and
medical care, as well as low-cost housing, fuel, and food. Today
the government is investing in new industries to avoid reliance on
income from fuels. All political and economic decisions are made by
Brunei’s sultan, or ruler.
The Philippines The Philippines includes about 7,000 islands in the
South China Sea. Volcanic mountains and forests dominate the
landscape. About 40 percent of the people farm. They have built
ter- races on the steep mountain slopes. Terraced fields are strips
of land cut out of a hillside like stair steps.
Cities in the Philippines are busy and modern. Manila, the coun-
try’s capital, is a great commercial center. Factory workers here
pro- duce high-tech goods, food products, chemicals, clothing, and
shoes.
Named after King Philip II of Spain,the Philippines spent more than
300 years as a Spanish colony.As a result of the Spanish-American
War, the United States controlled the islands from 1898 until World
War II. In 1946 the Philippines became an independent democratic
republic.
The Philippines is the only Christian country in Southeast Asia.
About 90 percent of Filipinos follow the Roman Catholic religion,
brought to the islands by Spanish missionaries. The culture today
blends Malay, Spanish, and American influences.

718 CHAPTER 25
Late at night, long after dark has fallen on a small stage in Java,
a shadow puppet show is about to begin. The glow of a lamp shines
behind a wide linen screen. Puppets stand hidden from direct view.
The “good” characters are on the right. The “bad” ones are placed
on the left. The audience waits anxiously on the other side of the
screen. Once the story begins, the performance will continue until
dawn.
The Performance
Wayang kulit, the ancient Indonesian shadow puppet theater, dates
back at least 1,000 years. Today there are several thousand
puppeteers. This makes shadow puppets the strongest theater
tradition in Southeast Asia.
Shadow puppets are flat leather puppets. Many have movable limbs
and mouths that are operated by sticks. During the show, the pup-
pets cast their shadows onto the screen. The dalang, or puppeteer,
sits behind the screen and manipulates the figures. He brings each
to life in one of the more than 200 traditional puppet
stories.
The Stories
Although Islam is now the major religion of Indonesia, much of the
traditional shadow pup- pet theater is based on stories from two
ancient Hindu epics from India. At one time, the principal purpose
of shadow puppetry was to provide moral and religious instruction
in Hinduism. Now the stories combine Hindu themes with elements of
Buddhism and Islam, as well as Indonesian his- tory and folklore.
Often the performance is given in celebration of public or
religious holidays or to honor a wedding or birth.
The Puppeteer
The skill of the dalang is critical to the show’s success. The
dalang operates all the pup- pets, narrates the story, provides
sound effects, and directs the gong, drum, and flute orchestra that
accompanies the puppet show. The pup- peteer changes his voice to
create an individual sound for each character. The dalang performs
without a script or notes, adding jokes and mak- ing small changes
to suit the crowd and the occa- sion. Because a shadow puppet show
can last as long as nine hours, the dalang must have both a
tremendous memory and great endurance.
Many dalangs carve their own puppets, hav- ing learned this art
from earlier generations. Each figure must appear in a specific
size, body build, and costume. Even the shape of the eyes tells
about the figure’s character and mood.
