Dear teachers,
"It is divided into two regions, known as West Malaysia and East Malaysia."
I will rewrite the sentence like this:
"It is divided into two regions, the names of which are West Malysia and East Malaysia."
Please tell me if they are correct.
Thanks a lot.

Yes, Coco, they're correct, but there's a much simpler way of writing this sentence:

It is divided into two regions, West Malaysia and East Malaysia. Smile
