As a people, Malaysians are very relaxed, warm and friendly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Geographically, Malaysia is almost as diverse as its culture. 11 states and 2 federal territories (Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya) form Peninsular Malaysia which is separated by the South China Sea from East Malaysia which includes the 2 states (Sabah and Sarawak on the island of Borneo) and a third federal territory, the island of Labuan.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">One of Malaysia\u2019s key attractions is its extreme contrasts which further add to this theme of \u2018diversity\u2019. Towering skyscrapers look down upon wooden houses built on stilts while five-star hotels sit just metres away from ancient reefs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Rugged mountains reach dramatically for the sky while their rainforest-clad slopes sweep down to floodplains teeming with forest life. Cool highland hideaways roll down to warm, sandy beaches and rich, humid mangroves.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For the perfect holiday full of surprises, the time is now, the place is Malaysia.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">*Further information on the country can also be obtained from the Malaysian government\u2019s official portal,\u00a0<a style=\"color: #0094d2;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.malaysia.gov.my\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.malaysia.gov.my<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a style=\"color: #0094d2;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.tourism.gov.my\/en\/my\/places\/states-of-malaysia\/kuala-lumpur#page1\"><strong>Interesting places in Kuala Lumpur<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/razak.utm.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/210\/2014\/09\/KLCC.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-58\" src=\"https:\/\/razak.utm.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/210\/2014\/09\/KLCC.jpg\" alt=\"KLCC\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/razak.utm.my\/icssa2015\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/210\/2014\/09\/KLCC.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/razak.utm.my\/icssa2015\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/210\/2014\/09\/KLCC-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/razak.utm.my\/icssa2015\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/210\/2014\/09\/KLCC-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To know Malaysia is to love Malaysia \u2013 a bubbling, bustling melting-pot of races and religions where Malays, Indians, Chinese and many other ethnic groups live together in peace and harmony.
