Malaysia

Land of 'Rasa Sayang'

Malaysia encompasses rugged mountain ranges and tropical rainforests, busy cities and peaceful villages, cool hill stations and over two hundred islands, tumbling rivers and jungles rich with wildlife.

It is blessed with fair and balmy weather all-year round. Its idyllic beaches offer a respite from the hustle and bustle of city living. The coast is lined by clear waters, soft sand and secluded bays shaded by palms and casuarinas. Sunny skies and golden sandy beaches make a perfect getaway.

Malaysia is as diverse as its culture. This is a land of cultural fusion – the indigenous Malays, absorbed Chinese, Indian and European influences, blending them together to create ‘Rasa Sayang’ – a feeling of love. Malays, Chinese, Indians and many other ethnic groups have lived together in Malaysia for generations. They have influenced each other, creating a truly Malaysian culture. Multi-culturalism has made Malaysia a gastronomical paradise and home to hundreds of colourful festivals.

One of Malaysia’s key attractions is its extreme contrasts. Gleaming skyscrapers tower over wooden houses built on stilts and five-star resorts overlook ancient reefs.

Be captivated by the country’s gorgeous landscape, its varied races and religion and many wonderful attractions. With its hospitable people, warm climate and variety of attractions – from river rafting to jungle trekking, shopping, golf to scuba diving, Malaysia has just about everything a holidaymaker could desire.
