Malaysia

Malaysia is located in the heart of Southeast Asia and is one of the wealthiest countries in the region. The country consists of two geographical regions divided by the South China Sea:
  • Peninsular Malaysia (or West Malaysia) on the Malay Peninsula shares a land border on the north with Thailand and is connected by the Johor-Singapore Causeway and the Malaysia-Singapore Second Link to the south with Singapore. It consists of nine sultanates (Johor, Kedah, Kelantan, Negeri Sembilan, Pahang, Perak, Perlis, Selangor and Terengganu), two states headed by governors (Malacca and Penang), and two federal territories (Putrajaya and Kuala Lumpur).
  • Borneo Malaysia (or East Malaysia) occupies the northern part of the island of Borneo, bordering Indonesia and surrounding the Sultanate of Brunei. It consists of the states of Sabah and Sarawak and the federal territory of Labuan.
Although politically dominated by the Malays, modern Malaysian society is heterogeneous, with substantial Chinese and Indian minorities. This gives Malaysia a diversity in culture that is both unique and inspiring. Yet, Malaysia is not too foreign, due to the influence of United Kingdom dating back to the colonial days. You will be surprised to see the familiarities in various different ways.

Further, Malaysia boasts a landscape that is both inspiring and breathtaking. From a hyper-modern city with glittering skycrapers to the primary unspoiled rainforest, Malaysia is a land of fascinating sights and attractions. Its sun-drenched beaches, enchanting islands, diverse flora and fauna, forest retreats and magnificent mountains are among the best in this region.

Malaysia is paradise. Visit Malaysia, and it would prove to be a very special experience.
