To know Malaysia is to love Malaysia. A bubbling, bustling melting pot of races and religions where Malays, Indians, Chinese and many other ethnic groups live together in peace and harmony.
Multiculturalism has not only made Malaysia a  gastronomical paradise, it has also made Malaysia home to hundreds of  colourful festivals. It's no wonder that we love celebrating and  socialising. As a people, Malaysians are very laid back, warm and  friendly.
Geographically, Malaysia is as  diverse as its culture.Malaysia is divided into 13 states and 3 Federal  Territories, separated by the South China Sea with 11 states and 2  federal territories (Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya) in Peninsular Malaysia  and two states and 1 federal territory (Labuan) in East Malaysia.One  of Malaysia's key attractions is its extreme contrasts. Towering  skyscrapers look down upon wooden houses built on stilts, and five-star  hotels sit several metres away from ancient reefs.Cool hideaways are  found in the highlands that roll down to warm, sandy beaches and rich,  humid mangroves.
For the perfect holiday full of surprises, eclectic cultures and natural wonders, the time is now, the place is Malaysia.
