About Malaysia

Malaysia is where the old and new co-exist harmoniously. City streets are lined with skyscrapers and buildings left over from colonial times. From the shopping malls in Kuala Lumpur to dense rainforests just two hours away, Malaysia is a testimony of uniqueness in diversity. It has thriving educational and employment sectors, and is rich in traditional and modern art and culture – reflecting the different ethnic groups that make up the country’s population. Malays, Chinese, Indians and indigenous peoples result in a cultural mix that is reflected in the country’s language, religion and food.
