Kuala Lumpur's country (8)
I believe the answer is:
malaysia
'kuala lumpur's country' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for malaysia that I've seen before include "South-east Asian Commonwealth federation" , "land abroad" , "Sail a yam, strangely, to the Asian state?" , "Kuala Lumpur is its capital" , "Commonwealth country of southeast Asia" .)
