Visit Malaysia 2007

Happy New Year 2007!!! This year is going to be different, right? So, where are you going in 2007? emmm.. how about Malaysia. Nice place!

The Malaysian government has ushered in its Visit Malaysia Year 2007 program. Malaysia is rich in the diversity of its geographical features such as lush rainforests, pristine beaches, mysterious caves and captivating seas.

Malaysia has many things to offer to oversea and local tourists alike. Many of Malaysia’s attractions are not too well-known to people, even the locals. What’s more, not many Malaysians have actually experienced its own unique diversity. While many other countries may have many things to offer, Malaysia is actually the perfect place for almost everything.

Malaysia has some of the most beautiful islands in the world - from Penang to Langkawi and Tioman Island - imagine sandy beaches, beautiful clear and blue sea and pina colada. Malaysia is full of culture and heritage - from traditional Malay food to Chinese’s Lion Dance, from deep-rooted Baba & Nyonya architectures in Malacca to the long wooden house of Kadazhan in Sarawak - Malaysia is the only nation with so many people of different races living together in harmony, you’ll get to experience the most unique diversity in your life! Not only that, in Malaysia, you get to experience adventures of your life time - from mountain hiking in Kota Kinabalu in Sabah to white water rafting in Kuala Kubu, Selangor, and jungle trekking in the world’s oldest tropical rain forest - yes, we have the world’s oldest rain forest - far older than the equatorial forests of the Amazon or the Congo! That also means Malaysia has the world’s rarest and most remarkable animals - the Sumatran Rhinoceros, the Clouded Leopard and Malaysian Tiger, the Sun Bear, the Monitor Lizard, and the Orang Utan. This does not mean you can come here to hunt them with your rifle - these animals are endangered and protected. Even though Malaysia is still a third-world country, it is not as many have had imagined - a banana republic. Malaysia is the world’s most developed third world country - with one of the tallest skyscrapers in the world in Petronas Twin Towers, one of the biggest airports in the world in KLIA and many more. If you fancy your cup of espresso, we have Starbucks all over the country. If you miss that chunk of porkchop at home, we have Chinese restaurants that serves pork. In fact, we even have “Bah Kut Teh”, lean pork meat in soup with Chinese herbs and rice - something you can’t find anywhere else in the world! Though Malaysia is a muslim country, we are blessed because we are still a very open-minded country with races other than Malay embracing different religions which include Buddhists, Christians, Hindus among others. Malaysia also practises consociationalism in politics, meaning “communal interests are resolved in the framework of a grand coalition”. Therefore, Malaysia is a peaceful country and is free of terrorists.

What else are you waiting for? Don’t wait until the Internet broadband’s fiber optic cables are repaired. Visit Malaysia while the sky is clear and while Johor is flooded (and big foot is hiding, LoL! Yes, we have big foot too! In fact, there are more than one of them, so they are called big feet!). What the hell are you waiting for?

let's TRAVEL!!!
