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. Malaysians, being of different races, can be seen on the streets in their various costumes, adding color to the scene. The warm, sunny and wet climate throughout the year makes Malaysia a tropical paradise. Visitors admire the green forested hills, the golden beaches with graceful coconut palms fringing them, the blue sea and, of course, the local cuisine. Foreign tourists find these places ideal for a holiday, as they get away from their cold countries. 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.
Malaysia is a multi-ethnic, multicultural and multilingual society. Its cultural diversity and the amazing contrast of colour, amazing tourism destinations, hi-tech life and the welcoming people truly make Malaysia the perfect holidaying destinations.
