| Situated just north of the equator and
essentially in the heart of south east Asia,
Malaysia is a country full of character and
soul; a cultural pearl of the orient that
shimmers intensely with its distinct
peoples, colorful festivals, rich natural
heritage, exotic traditions, interesting
folklore and scintillating culinary delights.
Malaysia is a mix of old and new, a fast becoming one of the world's premier tourism destinations. It's high-tech infrastructure, stable political and economic climate and not forgetting its innate attractive qualities represents for the most part an unforgettable and pleasant experience for any who comes and visit. Malaysia is a relatively young country with long history. Formed in the year 1957 and became independent from colonial rule when the Union Jack was lowered and the first Malaysian flag was raised in Kuala Lumpur's Merdeka Square on midnight 31st August 1957. Six years later, the expanded Federation of Malaysia was formed in 1963 through a merging of Malaya and Singapore as well the eastern states of Sabah (then known as North Borneo) and Sarawak in Borneo. It was then that the name Malaysia was officially adopted, to reflect the new nation's diverse cultural and racial landscape. As Frank Swettenham had wrote, Malaysia's land is inspired by a feverish desire for growth and reproduction. Not only this desire permeates its lands or 'flora and fauna but its people as well. In the relatively short span from its inception, Malaysia has transformed itself from a fledgling backwater country into one of the fastest growing economies in the world. In this context, Wawasan 2,02,0 or Vision 2,02,0 that is a Malaysian ideal introduced by the former prime minister of Malaysia, Mahathir Bin Mohamad in 1991 can be mentioned as the ideal symbol of Malaysia's desire for growth. The vision calls for a self-sufficient industrial, developed nation, complete with an economy in 2,02,0 that will be eightfold stronger than its economy of the early 19903, a target that Malaysia is well on its way to. But this vision may well remain just a vision if not for the peoples of Malaysia that is the driving force striving to turn it into reality. Essentially a multicultural society, Malaysia's population is of a diverse ethnic, religious and cultural make-up. Consisting of Malays, Chinese, Indian and various indigenous peoples, the population of the country is living proof that various disparate races and cultures can live and work together in harmony and achieve mutual benefits. Another result of Malaysia's multicultural society is there is hence also a profusion of faiths and religions, with Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, Taoism, Hinduism, Sikhism and even shamanism woven into Malaysia's rich spiritual tapestry. Modern Malaysia has made its mark on the global platform. It is a recognized venue for many international events and the successes it had attained have considerably raised its standing internationally. Due to the fact that many of the principled and weighted policy pursued by Malaysia over the years had produced tangible results, either it is economically, environmentally or in a social context, Malaysia is among the leading prosperous nations of South East Asia. This prosperity is reflected in Malaysia's rapidly changing skyline such as the internationally known The Petronas Twin Towers. The towers (also known as the Petronas Towers or Twin Towers), in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia are the world's tallest twin buildings. The 88-floor towers are constructed largely of reinforced concrete, with a steel and glass facade designed to symbolize strength and grace using geometric principles typified in Islamic architecture. Completed in 1997 and rising up 1,483 ft (451.9 m) like sentinels in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, the towers are joined at the 4ist and 4^nd floors (i75m above street level) by a 19:? ft-long (58.4 m) double-decker sky bridge - linking the two sky lobbies and facilitating the movement between the two towers. The sky bridge is opened to the public but the free passes; limited to 1700 people per day must be obtained on a first-come, first-served basis. The sky bridge is i7om above the ground and offers a thrilling bird's eye view of the capital Kuala Lumpur. With people that are warm, friendly and laid back, Malaysia continues to welcome the world unto its beautiful shores. Blessed with countless scenic, cultural, entertainment and gastronomic attractions, Malaysia is truly a destination not to be missed. Its infrastructure is among the most modern and efficient in the world, making any visitors visit a quite pleasant matter. One of the unique experiences Malaysia offers is of course its immense natural beauty; the very same thing that the Resident General Frank Swettenham admired so much more than a century ago. Although entirely committed to progress and industrialization, Malaysia remained committed in persevering its rich variety of landscapes and natural treasures. Officially listed as one of the world's 17 megadiverse countries as identified by the UNEPWorld Conservation Monitoring Centre, Malaysia is home to a majority of the earth's species and is therefore a haven for nature lovers. A large part of Malaysia's verdant tropical forests remains untouched, and even today it still strikes the visitors as remote, somewhat strange and breathtaking. Many books and travel literature have been written about Malaysia containing many different opinions. But almost all of which agree upon the fact that Malaysia is a spectacular country that is worth a visit. Still in its 5oth Independence or Merdeka Day celebrations and Visit Malaysia Year, it is indeed an ideal time for holidaymakers to come discover and experience unforgettable moments in Malaysia.
