1. Come with us on a journey to the South East Asian gem – Malaysia. Explore
the untouched forests, exotic marine life and the hidden archaeological
treasures. Welcome to the land of water sports, bio-diverse terra and
amazing adventures.

2. One of 13 member states of Malaysia, Sabah is often referred to as the "Land Below The
Wind”. It currently has six national parks. One of these, the Kinabalu National Park, was
designated as a World Heritage Site in 2000. Apart from that there is the famous
Sipadan Island off Sabah which is one of the world’s top diving spots.

3. Terengganu Marine Park is a collection of six islands off the north eastern coast of Peninsular
Malaysia. Redang has spectacular coral and fish, while Kapas, the smallest and most isolated
island with a beautiful beach and a few small hotels, is ideal for honeymooners.

4. Taman Negara is reputed to be the oldest jungle in the world. A Natural Wonder of the
world, its flora and fauna has evolved over hundreds of millions of years. See the Chestnut-
breasted Malkoha or Gibbons as you travel along the way to reach this rich thicket.

5. Johor offers recreational and leisure activities such as the Royal Museum, the Sultan Abu
Bakar Museum, the Grand Palace, the Johor Art Gallery, the Mawar Handicraft Centre.
Desaru, a 25 km-long beach flanking the South China Sea, offers excellent
fishing, snorkelling, windsurfing, canoeing, swimming and jungle-trekking facilities.

6. Sarawak Chamber in Gunung Mulu National Park was discovered only in 1981. This huge
cavern on the island of Borneo is the biggest in the world, and is part of an extensive cave
system. It takes an hour for even experienced people to get from end to end—gives you an
idea of the scale of the cavern, doesn’t it?

7. Malacca holds an enduring appeal due to its vivid and fascinating history. No place in Malaysia
can rival Malacca when it comes to tales of civilisation and battle. Each of the ruling cultures
has left an indelible print on Malacca’s architecture and when you visit the Cheng Hoon Teng
Temple or the St Paul’s Hill, you will know what we are talking about.

8. 300 km north of Kuala Lumpur and 97 km south of Penang lies the rather unexplored
Taiping, an old mining centre. With beautiful lakes, colonial architecture, museums, and the
misty hill views, it is worth visiting. Maxwell Hill, an old, unchanged hill station nearby, should
not be missed.

9. Irrawaddy dolphins are among the friendliest and share a special relationship with the
fishermen of Kuching. In 2008, the Department of Forestry and Sarawak Forestry Cooperative
in Sarawak established a protected area for Irrawaddy dolphins on the Kuching Wetland.

10. Kuala Lumpur is a paradise for shopaholics. Central Market in the city has a variety of
handicrafts, art, kebaya, songket, batik and authentic Malaysian souvenirs to offer. This
landmark of Malaysian culture and heritage is decorated with themes reflecting the
multiracial diversity of Malaysians during the nation’s major festivals.

11. Bako National Park, located in Kuching is a must-visit destination for wildlife lovers and
trekkers. The erosion of sandstone over millions of years has created a coastline of steep
cliffs, rocky headlands and stretches of white, sandy bays. Wave erosion has carved many of
the rocky headlands into fantastically shaped sea arches and sea stacks with coloured

12. The Penang Butterfly Farm in Taluk Behang, Penang, is a ‘live museum’ as well as a research
centre. A visit to Penang Butterfly Farm is likely to make you feel like you are in an enchanted
wilderness, dotted with colourful gems.
