Amplitude Modulation (AM) stations

Malaysia does not own any AM stations since the last remaining AM station by Sabah FM was closed by RTM in 2015. All of the AM stations able to be received in Malaysia are from other Asian countries with high power transmitters. Reception is much better at night.
