List of local governments in Malaysia

Local government in Malaysia, according to Local Government Act 1971 of Malaysia, means city councils, municipal councils and district councils.

City council

Local governments administrating a city are normally called City Council. However, there are local authorities which are called City Hall. The usage of the term "city hall" is a possible misnomer since a city hall normally refers to the building which houses a city council instead of the local council itself.
