About:

MALAYSIAM is like two-countries-in-one and cleaved in half by the South China Sea - Peninsular Malaysia and Borneo. The multicultural country flaunts Malay, Chinese and Indian influences as well as ethnic tribes. Throughout these two regions is an impressive variety of microcosms ranging from the space-age high-rises of Kuala Lumpur to the smiling longhouse villages of Sarawak, a perfect amalgamation of modern-day cities and lush wilderness.

Peninsular Malaysia looks like a long finger of land extending south from Asia as if pointing towards Indonesia and Australia. Much of the peninsula is covered by dense jungle, particularly its mountainous, thinly populated northern half. On the western side of the peninsula there is a long, fertile plain running down to the sea, while on the eastern side, the mountains descend more steeply and the coast is fringed with sandy beaches. The other part of the country, comprising more than 50% of its area, is Malaysian Borneo – the northern part of the island of Borneo.

Despite all the pockets of ethnicities, religions, landscapes and the sometimes great distances between them, the beauty of Malaysia lies in the fusion of all cultures, ethnicities, religion and cuisine into a country that is one of the safest, most stable and manageable in Southeast Asia.
