Political change?
For nearly 60 years, Malaysia has been independent of British rule. But a quick glance will show there are remnants of the old Malaya, as it was known during the British colonial rule, which ended in August of 1957.
Carcosa Seri Negara, the former British ambassador's residence in Kuala Lumpur, sits in the pretty Lake Gardens (modeled on London's Kew Gardens) and is now a hotel which serves high tea. School children can be spotted, even in the "kampung" or village, wearing uniforms similar to those in Great Britain. Tea plantations dot the country's higher elevations, complete with Mock Tudor houses and pubs.
Still, for a country which prides itself on its cultural mix of its three main groups, there is tension simmering below the surface.
Despite its motto "One Malaysia", the country's ruling body has been in power for 56 years and many, including the opposition, feel it's time for a change.
Opponents of the ruling National Front claimed major electoral fraud in the 2013 elections, allegations the ruling party strongly denied.
In August, thousands attended protests calling for the resignation of Malaysia's Prime Minister Najib Razak, over his alleged involvement in a financial scandal. Mr. Razak has denied any wrongdoing.
