What is .مليسيا?
IANA delegated .مليسيا on September 20, 2012, as part of the effort to let people use domain names entirely in their own script.
A little context on Malaysia: the capital is Kuala Lumpur, languages include English and Malay, the currency is the Malaysian ringgit (MYR) and the international dialing code is +60.
Next door on the map, you'll find .bn for Brunei, .id for Indonesia and .th for Thailand.
IANA lists MYNIC Berhad as the manager of .مليسيا, with an address in Malaysia. The registry's website is http://www.mynic.my. ccTLD managers set their own policies — who can register, which second-level names exist, pricing to registrars — so those rules differ from country to country.
Under the hood, the root zone points to 6 name servers for .مليسيا, every one of them reachable over IPv6. The delegation is DNSSEC-signed, so resolvers can verify that answers for .مليسيا haven't been tampered with on the way. Registration data is published over WHOIS (the WHOIS server is whois.mynic.my).
Malaysia also has another country-code domain in the root zone: .my.
