Malaysia in Brief
Part of the South-East Asia continent, Malaysia consists of 13 states which are Johor, Kedah, Kelantan, Melaka, Negeri Sembilan, Pahang, Perak, Perlis, Pulau Pinang, Terengganu, Selangor ,Sabah and Sarawak and 3 Federal Territories which are Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya and Labuan.
Its people are a mix of Malay, Chinese, Indian and the Indigenous peoples. All with different cultures, beliefs and lifestyle yet Malaysians are tolerant of each other and live in peace. Islam is the country’s official religion but
citizens are guaranteed the freedom to worship.
Geographically, the country is relatively free of natural disasters and its tropical weather attracts many tourists. Temperatures are usually between 20-30°C (68-86°F). The region has a monsoonal climate, but only the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia has a real rainy season. The wettest season on the west coast of the peninsula is between September and December; on the east coast and in Sabah and Sarawak it is between October and February.
It is not too much to say that Malaysia appeals to almost anyone with its offerings. For example, city lights and socially alive Kuala Lumpur, breezy hills of Cameron Highlands, sand and sea of the East Coast, wildlife and one of South East Asia’s highest mountains, Mount Kinabalu in East Malaysia.
No one really leaves Malaysia without being treated to a wide range of food. Each cuisine brings a different experience. Depending on the occasion and budget, you can dine in five-star hotels, food courts, 'kopitiam' (Chinese coffee shops), restaurants, fast food outlets or by the roadside.
The Malaysian Ringgit (RM) is issued in notes from RM1 to RM100 and coins. Major credit cards are accepted in cities and large towns. All commercial banks are authorized foreign exchange dealers, and licensed money changers can be found in urban centres, key entry/exit points and shopping complexes.
The Malaysian flag upholds the country and its people’s identity. It consists of 14 fourteen red and white stripes representing the 13 states of Malaysia. The left top corner blue represents the unity of the people while the crescent in the blue canton represents Islam, the national religion. A star with fourteen points again signifies the 13 states of the federation with the federal government. The colour yellow is the colour of royalty.
