ABOUT MALAYSIA

“Malaysia, Truly Asia.” This sums up what Malaysia is all about. A country which offers a unique look into the rest of Asia as a melting pot of races, cultures and religions. A fascinating fusion of colourful festivals, gastronomic adventures, shopping splendours, natural wonders and many more thrills and spills.

Malaysia is made up of 13 states from the Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak and 3 federal territories. It is a land of striking contrasts and diversity. On one hand, Malaysia has the world’s tallest twin towers, the Petronas Twin Towers and many skyscrapers. On the other hand, it has some of the world’s finest treasure troves of nature, from the 130 million years old rainforests, the biggest cave chamber, the largest flower to the smallest elephant.

While Malaysia is on the way to become a fully developed nation, it somehow still maintains its Asian nuances and rich cultural heritage, from century-old places of worships, pre-colonial shophouses to Moorish architectural wonders of heritage buildings.

So a holiday or a business trip during this MyFEST 2015 is an experience of endless wonders. One which you will cherish for a lifetime.
