How many Perlis populations equal Selangor’s?
A tiny-state, big-state comparison with a surprisingly big answer.
Data-Lah · Source data checked: 28 Sep 2026
25.1×population ratio · Selangor to Perlis
2026 · DOSM
The short answer
Selangor has an estimated 7,454,200 residents in 2026; Perlis has 297,300. Divide the first by the second and you get about 25.1.
What it means
Imagine repeating the population of Perlis about 25 times. That gets you close to Selangor’s total. Both counts include non-citizen residents.
How the number is read
7,454.2 thousand ÷ 297.3 thousand; rounded to one decimal place.
