The geography of Malaysia deals with the physical and human geography of Malaysia, a Southeast Asian country. There are two major parts to this country, Peninsular Malaysia to the west and East Malaysia to the east. In addition, there are numerous smaller islands surrounding both landmasses. Peninsular Malaysia is situated on the southernmost section of the Malay Peninsula, south of Thailand, north of Singapore and east of the Indonesian island of Sumatra. Located near the equator, Malaysia's climate is categorised as equatorial, being hot and humid throughout the year; the average rainfall is 250 centimetres a year and the average temperature is 27 °C. The climates of the Peninsula and the East differ, as the climate on the peninsula is directly affected by wind from the mainland, as opposed to the more maritime weather of the East. Malaysia is exposed to the El Niño effect. Climate change is to have a significant effect on Malaysia, increasing sea levels and rainfall, increasing flooding risks and leading to large droughts.

Malaysia faces two monsoon winds seasons, the Southwest Monsoon from late May to September, the Northeast Monsoon from October to March. The Northeast Monsoon, originating in China and the north Pacific, brings in more rainfall compared to the Southwest Monsoon, which originates from the deserts of Australia. March and October form transitions between the two monsoons. Local climates are affected by the presence of mountain ranges throughout Malaysia, climate can be divided into that of the highlands, the lowlands, coastal regions; the coasts have a sunny climate, with temperatures ranging between 23 and 32 °C, rainfall ranging from 10 to 30 centimetres a month. The lowlands have a similar temperature, but follow a more distinctive rainfall pattern and show high humidity levels; the highlands are cooler and wetter, display a greater temperature variation. A large amount of cloud cover is present over the highlands, which have humidity levels that do not fall below 75%; the highest temperature was recorded at Chuping, Perlis on 9 April 1998 at 40.1 °C.

The lowest temperature was recorded at Mount Kinabalu, Sabah on 28 October 2018 at −2.4 °C. The snowfall was recorded in a year was 3 cm at Mount Kinabalu, Sabah in 1975, 1990 and 1993; the highest rainfall recorded in a day was 608 mm in Kota Bharu, Kelantan on 6 January 1967. The highest rainfall recorded in a year was 5,687 mm at Sandakan, Sabah in 2006. Meanwhile, the lowest rainfall recorded in a year was 1,151 mm at Tawau, Sabah in 1997; the wettest city in Malaysia is Kuching, Sarawak with an average rainfall of 4,159 mm with 279 days of rain a year. The driest place in Malaysia is in Perak with average rainfall of only 1,787 mm a year. Malaysia is located on the Sunda shelf, is tectonically inactive; the oldest rocks in the country date from 540 million years ago, are sedimentary. The most common form of rock is limestone, formed during the Paleozoic Era. Limestone laid down in East Malaysia during the Tertiary period has since eroded, such erosion forms basins of sedimentary rocks rich in oil and natural gas.

The mountain ranges in Malaysia were formed through orogenesis beginning in the Mesozoic era. The total land area of Malaysia is 329,847 square kilometres, the 66th largest country in the world in terms of area, it is the only country to contain land on the Malay archipelago. Peninsular Malaysia makes up 132,090 square kilometres, or 40% of the country's land area, while East Malaysia covers 198,847 square kilometres, or 60%. From the total land area, 1,200 square kilometres or 0.37% is made up of water such as lakes, rivers, or other internal waters. Malaysia has a total coastline of 4,675 kilometres, Peninsular Malaysia has 2,068 kilometres, while East Malaysia has 2,607 kilometres of coastline. Malaysia has the 29th longest coastline in the world; the two distinct parts of Malaysia, separated from each other by the Natuna Sea, share a similar landscape in that both West and East Malaysia feature coastal plains rising to hills and mountains. Peninsular Malaysia covers the southern half of the Malay Peninsula, extends 740 kilometres from north to south, its maximum width is 322 kilometres.

It is mountainous, with more than half of it over 150 metres above sea level. About half of Peninsular Malaysia is covered by granite and other igneous rocks, a third more is covered by stratified rocks older than the granite, the remainder is covered by alluvium. Harbours are only available on the peninsula's western side, the most fertile land occurs when river valleys flow out to the sea; the coastal plains bordering the straits of Malacca are the most densely populated areas of Malaysia, contains Malaysia's capital, Kuala Lumpur. East Malaysia, on the island of Borneo, has a coastline of 2,607 kilometres, it is divided between coastal regions and valleys, a mountainous interior. There are only two major cities and Kota Kinabalu. Much of southern Sarawak is coastal lowlands, which shifts to a series of plateaus going north, ending in the mountainous regions of Sabah. Malaysia is flat, with many mountain ranges but modest in elevation scattered in its territory. With notable exception is Crocker Range, the highest mountain range in Malaysia located in state of Sabah, which divides the state in ha

The men of Springfield become obsessed with a violent new string of mixed martial arts competitions called "Ultimate Punch Kick and Choke Championships".

The kids soon begin to fight in small MMA matches of their own at the playground of Springfield Elementary School. While Bart and Nelson are fighting in one match, Marge sees them and is disgusted by the violent nature of the entire sport, she and a group of concerned women begin protesting the sport in front of the MMA stadium. Marge decides to go on stage before a match begins and demands that everyone cease the sport entirely. Chett Englebrit, creator of the sport, agrees with Marge but only if she can win. Marge begins practicing rhythmic gymnastics. However, the family believes that her methods are unsuitable for the extreme task at hand and get her professional help, she learns boxing from Dredrick Tatum, wrestling from former Yale wrestler Mr. Burns and Judo from Akira, bullying from Jimbo and Kearney. Now trained, she enters the ring with Englebrit and is knocked to the ground. Bart wants to stand up for his mother and runs into the stadium to take her place, but is thrashed by Englebrit.

Marge witnesses this and beats Englebrit, winning their bet. Marge pulls down the ring's microphone and begins to give a speech, having had a change of heart about the demise of the violent sport upon having discovered her own dark side, she realizes, that everyone has left the building to watch a drunken brawl in the parking lot. As Marge and Homer leave to have some MMA-inspired sex and his sister, enter the empty ring and decide to settle their lifelong feud and there; as they approach each other to throw a punch, the credits begin, but the scene returns to depict Lisa punching Bart to the ground. "The Great Wife Hope" was directed by Matthew Faughnan. The writers of The Simpsons had a vast amount of knowledge and appreciation for mixed martial arts and included multiple references and themes of the sport throughout the episode. Former Ultimate Fighter champion Chuck Liddell guest starred as himself, signing photographs for fans, including Bart, at a cost of $25. Liddell commented that being a guest star was "very cool" and that the recording sessions were "easy".

The episode is a satire of the combat sport of mixed martial arts. Throughout the episode, characters perform multiple fighting positions. For example, Bart puts Nelson in a triangle choke at the playground when the two are fighting, while Marge takes out Englebrit with a flying armbar. Marge explains in the beginning of the episode that she found out about a creative new sport called "Crazy Bowling" by typing in "girls having fun"—after ignoring several thousand pages of porn—into the search engine Google. H. R. Pufnstuf is parodied as HufnStuf on Ice, because Englebrit's assistant claims the next day, Hufnstuf on Ice will need the space. Marge claims that the word Ultimate makes everything worse, though Otto Mann protests that it does not affect the popular sport Ultimate Frisbee. Englebrit carries similar traits to the professional wrestling promoter Vince McMahon. Marge tries to train for the match by performing rhythmic gymnastics, she practices boxing with a character named Dredrick Tatum, a parody of renowned boxer Mike Tyson.

Club, giving the episode a "B", wrote that it had "some amusing detours along the way", she compared "The Great Wife Hope" positively to season two's "Itchy & Scratchy & Marge", writing that Marge's attempts to bring down the MMA sport is the parallel to her trying to bring The Itchy & Scratchy Show off the air due to its severe cartoon violence in the latter episode.
