Malaysia is a beautiful and diverse country
with many highlights. The many different regions, each with their own
characteristic features, make this country the perfect destination for
tourists. However, Malaysia does not entirely depend on tourism. This country's
economy has been going strong for years. On the contrary to what some people still believe, Malaysia is not a third world
country. The country has developed itself enormously in the past 50 years and
this is clearly noticeable when visiting it. Especially in Malaysia's capital,Kuala Lumpur, you will see many modern buildings, a modern light rail transit system, many luxurious shopping mall and countless expensive cars on
the roads. Life outside of the capital is often less developed; but even there
the times of people only being able to afford a motorcycle are long
gone.Malaysia is located in Southeast Asia, between Singapore, Thailand and
Indonesia. The huge island of Borneo is shared with Brunei and Indonesia, and
borders in the north to the Philippines. Eating out is
very common in Malaysia The biggest
part of the population seldom cooks at home. The main reason is that eating out
is generally cheaper than buying ingredients at the supermarket and cooking
your own dishes. Another reason is that eating outside is part of the Malaysian
(and other Asian) culture, there is no better place to get in touch with
friends and relatives than during a delicious meal. Most dishes in Malaysia are
either based on rice or mee. Malay dishes often contains beef, chicken, mutton
or fish; but never pork as Malay food needs to be halal. Chinese dishes often
contains pork. Indian dishes are often vegetarian; and they never contain beef
(though Indians do eat chicken, mutton and fish). Most dishes will be served
with some vegetables; either mixed through the dish or served as a side dish.There are many special dishes from different nation, for example malay’s
special dishes are nasi lemak,nasi kerabu,nasi dagang and laksa.And chinese’s
special dishes are chicken rice, mee sup and wantan.Indian dishes are tosai,
roti canai, tandoori and curry.
Malaysia have a lot of interesting historical facts that people should
now. For example The National Monument (Tugu Negara) is a
sculpture that commemorates those who died in Malaysia's struggle for freedom,
principally against the Japanese occupation during World War II and the Malayan
Emergency, which lasted from 1948 until 1960. It is located in Kuala Lumpur, nearby
Lake Gardens. The monument depicts a group of soldiers holding the Malaysian
national flag. Each of the bronze figures symbolizes leadership, suffering,
unity, vigilance, strength, courage and sacrifice. And the unique about Malaysia is they have the biggest flower in the
world,called Rafflesia. Rafflesia is a genus of flowering plants that
is made up of 16 known species. The best known of these species is Rafflesia
arnoldii, which has the distinction of being the world's largest flower,
reaching a diameter of about three feet. The Rafflesia flowers have been found
only in Indonesia - on the islands of Sumatra and Java - and Malaysia, in
particular in the East Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak. All of the known
species of Rafflesia are threatened or endangered. One of the
most popular destinations in Malaysia is Sabah
,the Kinabatangan
River This river has a length of 560 kilometers and stretches
through half of Eastern Sabah. Alongside the riverbanks there is an abundance
of wildlife. During a river cruise you will have a chance to spot the rare
orangutan, the pygmy elephant, proboscis monkeys and saltwater crocodiles.
During night cruises you might spot the leopard cat, numerous sleeping birds,
wild boars, snakes and many crocodiles.Beside, Malaysia
also have Sepilok rehabilitation centre is one of the biggest and most well known
orangutan sanctuaries in Malaysia. The sanctuary is located nearby Sandakan;
the total site is over 43 square kilometer in size. Around 75 orangutans roam
free within the forest reserve. During their rehabilitation the animals rely
heavy on the help of the people that work at the centre; and also on the
donations from tourists. Tourist can snap precious pictures during daily
feeding time. TAR Marine Park is
the perfect place to enjoy scuba diving, snorkeling and light jungle treks. The
marine park is made up of five small islands: Gaya, Manukan, Sapi, Sulug and
Mamutik. The best beaches and probably also the best corals can be found around
Gaya island; the biggest of the five islands. The marine park is only a 20
minute boat trip away from the city of Kota Kinabalu. Malaysia is a good country to explore and one of the most pleasant holiday countries in the world. Many tourists
who have visited this country will wholeheartedly agree. It is a safe and well-organized country, this makes Malaysia suitable as a holiday destination for each type of
tourist even for children.We hope Malaysia will always be a better country and will keep the
peacefull enviroment
