ISO 3166-2:MY

Main article: ISO 3166-2

ISO 3166-2:MY is the entry in ISO 3166-2, part of the ISO 3166 standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), which defines codes for the names of the principal subdivisions of Malaysia (whose ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code is MY).

Currently 3 federal territories and 13 states are assigned codes. Each code starts with MY-, followed by two digits (01–13: states; 14–16: federal territories).
