To know Malaysia is to love Malaysia - a bubbling, bustling
melting-pot of races and religions where Malays, Indians, Chinese and many
other ethnic groups live together in peace and harmony. Our multiculturalism
has made Malaysia a gastronomical paradise and home to hundreds of colourful
festivals. It's no wonder that we love celebrating and socialising. As a
people, Malaysians are very relaxed, warm and friendly.
Geographically, Malaysia is almost as diverse as its
culture. 11 states and 2 federal territories (Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya) form
Peninsular Malaysia which is separated by the South China Sea from East
Malaysia which includes the 2 states (Sabah and Sarawak on the island of
Borneo) and a third federal territory, the island of Labuan.
One of Malaysia's key attractions is its extreme contrasts
which further add to this theme of ‘diversity’. Towering skyscrapers look down
upon wooden houses built on stilts while five-star hotels sit just metres away
from ancient reefs.
Rugged mountains reach dramatically for the sky while their
rainforest-clad slopes sweep down to floodplains teeming with forest life. Cool
highland hideaways roll down to warm, sandy beaches and rich, humid mangroves.
For the perfect holiday full of surprises, the time is now, the
place is Malaysia.
