Multiculturalism has not only made Malaysia a
gastronomical paradise, it has also made
Malaysia home to hundreds of colourful
festivals. It's no wonder that we love
celebrating and socialising. As a people,
Malaysians are very laid back, warm and
friendly.
Geographically, Malaysia is as diverse as its
culture. There are two parts to the country, 11
states in the peninsula of Malaysia and two
states on the northern part of Borneo. Cool
hideaways are found in the highlands that roll
down to warm, sandy beaches and rich, humid
mangroves.
One of Malaysia's key attractions is its extreme
contrasts. Towering skyscrapers look down upon
wooden houses built on stilts, and five-star
hotels sit several metres away from ancient
reefs.
