The great Asian river Mekong does not run through:

Correct Option

The Mekong River is a major trans-boundary river in Southeast Asia, originating from the Tibetan Plateau. It flows approximately 4,350 km through or along the borders of six countries before reaching the South China Sea. These countries are China (where it is known as Lancang Jiang), Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Malaysia is a Southeast Asian nation located to the south of Thailand, and its territory does not lie on the course of the Mekong River. Therefore, the Mekong River does not run through Malaysia.

Incorrect Options

• China: The Mekong River originates in the Tibetan Plateau within China and flows through its Yunnan province, where it is called Lancang Jiang.
• Cambodia: The Mekong River flows through Cambodia, passing through its capital, Phnom Penh, before continuing its journey towards Vietnam.
• Laos: The Mekong River forms a significant portion of the border between Laos and Thailand and also traverses the interior of Laos.
