Malaysia is one of
the most pleasant, hassle-free countries in
South-East Asia. Several decades of sustained
economic growth and political stability have made
it one of the most buoyant and wealthy countries
in the region, and although political power
(Malay) and economic clout (Chinese) are still
traditionally divided along racial lines,
Malaysia has moved towards a pluralist culture
based on a vibrant and interesting fusion of
Malay, Chinese, Indian and indigenous cultures
and customs.
Most visitors to Malaysia stick to the Peninsula,
where the insane headlong rush of Kuala Lumpur is
offset by the colonially soothing Cameron
Highlands Hill Station or the hedonistic torpor
of Langkawi. Far fewer make it to Sarawak or
Sabah, on the island of East Malaysia, with their
spectacular wildlife, longhouses and the
awe-inspiring Mt Kinabalu.
