Malaysia used to rely on mineral resources to develop, why is it now focusing on tourism?

Because with the transformation of Malaysia's production structure, focusing on tourism is more conducive to Malaysia's long-term development than relying on mineral resources. Malaysia is not only rich in agricultural products, but also the reserves of mineral resources are also very large, and it is not difficult to mine. However, with the changes in Malaysia's domestic situation, Malaysia is now focusing on the development of tourism.

The first reason is that the storage of mineral resources is not unlimited, and Malaysia has also realized that if it only relies on mineral resources for development, it will be empty sooner or later. Although Malaysia is rich in mineral resources, and exporting mineral resources can indeed make Malaysia earn a lot of foreign exchange. But after all, the formation of mineral resources requires millions of years of accumulation, and Malaysia will sooner or later deplete its mineral resources if it only relies on mining for development, so Malaysia's development of tourism can be regarded as a transformation of the industry.

The second reason is that relying on the development of mineral resources and bringing a lot of social problems to Malaysia, if you don't look for new industries, Malaysia may have no room for development. Although mineral resources can make money, mining and later processing of mineral resources will also bring a lot of money. For example, air pollution, water pollution and other situations have also had a serious impact on Malaysia.

Therefore, from the perspective of environmental protection and sustainable development, focusing on other industries is also the way Malaysia must go.

The third reason is that Malaysia's unique geographical environment is also more suitable for the development of tourism, and tourism can promote the development of Malaysia more than mineral resources. Due to the large number of islands in Malaysia and the beautiful scenery, Malaysia has a natural advantage in developing the tourism industry and does not require too much capital investment. The most important thing is that tourism can drive the development of many industries in Malaysia, and has a very positive role in promoting employment and social development.

Mineral resources are finite and can cause irreversible damage to the environment, and the transformation of the business structure is actually to find another way out for the economy.

Mineral resources belong to a kind of resource that is used less and less, and if it is used up, it will not be used again, but tourism, basically does not need to consume anything, and can still make a lot of money.

Because mineral resources are limited, with the exploitation of resources, the environment will be damaged to a certain extent, and measures to protect the environment will be taken over time. On the one hand, the main tourism is to increase financial revenue, and on the other hand, to protect the environment.

Tin is Malaysia's most important mineral resource. According to relevant information, Malaysia's tin reserves rank second in the world and are the highest-grade tin mines in the world. Its tin ore is mainly distributed in West Malaysia.

In West Malaysia, apart from Penang, all other states contain a large amount of tin ore. In West Malaysia, the regions with the richest tin reserves are the Kinta Valley in Perak and the capital Kuala Lumpur. However, due to years of mining, the tin resources in these two places have been dwindling, and the Malaysian mining sector is turning to tin mining in other regions.

Iron is another important mineral in Malaysia after tin. Its iron ore reserves exceed 100 million tons, including magnetite, hematite, limonite, and brick red soil iron ore. It also has a high iron ore grade, with an iron content of more than 50%.Iron ore ore is mainly distributed in the three states of Pahang, Terengganu and Johor.

Oil and gas occupy an important position in Malaysia's mineral resources. Oil is mainly found in the offshore areas of Malaysia. **Light oil with low sulfur content. Natural gas is mainly distributed in the offshore areas of East Malaysia.

Copper mines are mainly found in Mamu, on the southern slopes of Mount Kinabalu in East Malaysia. Copper ore reserves are nearly 200 million tons.

Gold deposits are found in some areas of East Malaysia and West Malaysia, with Kelantan in West Malaysia being abundant.

In addition to the above, Malaya's mineral resources include antimony, manganese, bauxite, chromium and rare metal minerals such as titanium, uranium and cobalt.

The Malay Peninsula (West Malaysia) actually has oil, and the east coast of the Malay Peninsula is in the Terengganu and Kelantana belts.

You have analysed it well, considering that (a tin natural rubber oil palm) and these are the most important economic ** raw products of Malaysia. In fact, the answers of A and C are correct, Malaysia is also an important oil producer in Southeast Asia, I think your teacher chose C because of the geographical conditions that Malaysia itself is also an oil producer.

If it is me personally, I will focus on answer (a) with you, because the first question is "Kuala Lumpur port loading and shipping".

"Kuala Lumpur Port" is Port Klang. Port Klang is located on the southern shore of the Kelang estuary on the western coast of the Malay Peninsula in Malaysia, bordering the eastern side of the Strait of Malacca. Also known as Portswettenham, it is the largest port in Malaysia.

It is the outer harbour of the capital city of Kuala Lumpur (Kuala-Lumpur) at a distance of about 37km. Kuala Lumpur, the country's largest city, supplies for daily necessities and industrial raw materials are imported and exported through Hong Kong.

As far as I know, Port Klang's main exports are timber, plywood, palm oil, rubber and agricultural products.

The most important thing is tin, and the others are oil palm, natural rubber, petroleum, bauxite.

But Malaysia is not destined to become a developed country, because the first condition of a developed country is to have an excellent industrial system, and if there is no excellent industrial system, the country will be vulnerable to economic sanctions from other countriesIf other countries choose to impose an economic blockade on Malaysia, it will cause serious disruption in Malaysia's economy.

Although Malaysia is particularly rich in resources, because its industrial facilities are particularly weak, it cannot form its own production capacity at all, so it can only rely on imports, so it cannot become a developed country at all.

Because Malaysia discriminates against the Chinese, the unequal policy has divided the Malaysian society, and Malaysians are lazy by nature, without the hard work of the Chinese, there will be no continuous innovation and development momentum. Malaysia's economy is heavily dependent on foreign trade, which can be hit hard in the event of an economic crisis. Malaysia's exports are selling cheap resources, which makes it difficult to form a stable development momentum for the country.

To become a developed country, we need not only abundant resources, but also a large number of talents suitable for the social environment of talent retention, and the spirit of innovative scientific research.
