-Malaysia
has two
parts, west Malaysia and
east Malaysia
and is facing the South
China Sea
at the East Coast
of Malaysia and Borneo
plus the Indian Ocean at the
west coast of the Malaysian
peninsular. The Malaysian
part of Borneo is also known
as Sabah and Sarawak.
Malaysia is a multiethnic
Asian
society especially in
the big cities and such as
Georgetown Malaysia at
Penang and Kuala Lumpur.
Holiday and vacation in
Malaysia go under the
slogan, "Malaysia truly
Asia" and that's quite
correct since you can find
lots of different ethic
groups in Malaysia. Like
Chinese, Indian, Sri Lanka,
Bangladeshi, Arabs,
Europeans and so on.
Malaysia
and in particular
Kuala
Lumpur and
Penang
has great hotels just
right for
tourism Malaysia.
A very interesting hotel is
Hotel Malaysia in Kuala
Lumpur China Town. The Hotel
Malaysia is in the center of
Kuala Lumpur China Town with
great nightlife enjoyment
and shopping at Petaling
Street. Petaling street is
somehow like Patpong in
Bangkok, but without go-go
bars. A Malaysian and
actually Penang hotel with a
great colonial style flair
is the
Eastern & Oriental Hotel in
Georgetown, there
almost everything is still
colonial style.
In
recent years Malaysia became
a outdoor vacation
destination.
You can climb high
mountains, Sabah is famous
for, have a several day
river cruise into the Borneo
jungle on the Rajang River
in Sarawak. Enjoy one o
greatest national park in
central Malaysia, easily
reachable from Penang and
Kuala Lumpur, its
Taman Negara National
Park
and explore
exotic Asian traditions in
both parts of Malaysia. Such
as Sibu (a old Chinese
settlement) in Sarawak and
Malacca on the Malaysian
peninsular.
The infrastructure for
your Malaysia Tour is very
good. Malaysia

airlines, Air Asia,
Firefly and some other small
airlines bring you to
anywhere in Malaysia, Asia
and worldwide, its ready for
Malaysia business. But be
careful with Air Asia, they
are the champions in delays.
They even make big banners
that if one experience
delays they do all kind of
compensation, if you
experience the delay,
usually at a ticket counter
and by the hours with the
airplane departure, they
tell you they have other
things to do.

If you travel Kuala Lumpur
and use a taxi you will find out that most of the taxi drivers are of Indian origin and they are the worst in south east Asia, even beating the legendary Thai taxi driver in Bangkok and the lowest of the bottom in Manila. KL taxi driver etc. come below that, this is not bla bla, this is bad
experience over years.
-There is the relatively new Kuala Lumpur International Airport
just about a half hour train or car ride out of KL, KL stands for Kuala Lumpur and is widely used in Malaysia. The KL airport is a great piece of architecture designed by a Japanese design company.
-Malaysian History
started
well
before
the
first
Portuguese
settled
at
Malacca,
known as
Melaka
in
Malaysian
language.
In 1511,
Alfonso
de
Albuquerque
a
Portuguese
who was
the
ruler of
Portuguese
India,
the area
around
today Goa,
came to
conquer
Malacca
with
about
1000 men
and 14
ships.
After
some
back and
forward
fighting
he
sacked
Malacca
and the
local
Sultan
who had
a army
of about
20.000
men,
fled.
-Malaysia
and
Islam
In the
last
decade
the
trend to
Islam
became
more and
more
visible,
huge
Mosques
are
built
everywhere
and
already
young
schoolgirls
are
ordered
to cover
the head
and wear
long
dresses.
When I
was in
Malaysia
first
time in
the 197x
I could
hardly
see even
one
female
person
covering
her
head,
even at
the west
Malaysia
east
coast, a
strong
hold of
dedicated
Malaysian
Muslims.
Time is
changing
lots of
Arab
money
poured
into
Malaysia
and
Islam
became
visible
more and
more.
Malaysia
is a
country
with
open
minded
people
and very
accessible.
Since
years
welcoming
tourists
and
before
somehow
pulled
slightly
over by
the
British
colonialists
who
grabbed
Penang
in the
18 th. Century
and took
over
Malaya.
After
WW2
Malaysia,
Singapore
and
Brunei emerged as

independent countries out of this constellation.
More or less within one
century Malaysia made a
transition from a society of
fisherman, farmers,
headhunters, Chinese
traders, British rubber
barons and Indian workers
into a modern society who
shows to the world the
Petronas Twin Towers and the
Formula One Grand Prix at
Sepang close to Kuala Lumpur
International Airport -among
others-.

Malacca is just about half way
between Singapore and Kuala
Lumpur Malaysia and is
good connected for a
Malaysia travel tour, by
car, train and bus, bus is
quite cheap. From Kuala
Lumpur to the north is a
good 4 lane toll way
connecting Malaysia to
Thailand via
Ipoh
and Penang, actually its
Butterworth since Penang is
the Island off Butterworth
connected by a the great
Penang Bridge.
