Unit converter

Malaysia local land lengths and areas — links, rantai, Relung, Depa, Ekar, and Rood — converted to and from metric.

Malaysian land is often measured in links/rantai, chain, Relung, Depa, or Ekar rather than metric units. This converts between local length and area measures and metric units, so your fence and farm calculations start from the right number.

Tips

Ekar is simply the Malay-language term for acre — both convert identically.
Relung and Depa are traditional local land measures with regional variation; treat converted values as a practical estimate, not a legal survey figure.
Set “Highlight as” to the unit your supplier or land title quotes in, so the headline number is the one you actually need.
Every unit updates together in the table below — enter a value once and compare all conversions at a glance.
