The short answer
Together, the three territories have an estimated 2,304,800 residents in 2026, or 6.7% of Malaysia’s population.
What it means
A shared administrative category does not mean equal populations. Kuala Lumpur contributes most of this combined total.
How the number is read
2,082.3 + 121.4 + 101.1 = 2,304.8 thousand residents.
