Southeast Asian country whose capital is Kuala Lumpur (8)

I believe the answer is:

malaysia

(Other definitions for malaysia that I've seen before include "SE Asian country" , "SE Asian state" , "Country of SE Asia" , "land abroad" , "Kuala Lumpur is its capital" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
