Why the Malacca Strait is considered a crucial choke point for trade?
If it gets blocked, can’t ships go through the Indonesian archipelago, like the Sunda Strait between Java and Sumatra??

If it gets blocked, can’t ships go through the Indonesian archipelago, like the Sunda Strait between Java and Sumatra??
I know “best” or “most pleasant” is subjective but here are some criteria I was thinking about:
• Reasonable temperature range: 0°C – 30°C
• Moderate precipitation: 400mm – 800mm
• Reasonable relative humidity: 30% – 60%
• Four distinct seasons
If you have other preferences or factors, please state them.
So which medium to large city (population > 200,000) in the Middle East has the best climate?
