Living in Malaysia
Strategically located in the economic pulse of Southeast Asia, Malaysia is the leading tourist and commercial destination in
Asia. It borders Thailand to the north, Singapore to the south and Indonesia to the south east.
Apart from being a metropolitan centre with a modern economy, Malaysia also possesses a rich history and vast natural
rainforests. Several UNESCO World Heritage Sites are present here, including the Kinabalu Park and Mulu National Park in
Borneo, and the historical cities of Melaka and Georgetown in the peninsula. In the capital city, the iconic Petronas Twin
Towers render a stunning skyline for Kuala Lumpur.
Home to a diverse population of various ethnicities, cultures, and backgrounds, Malaysia offers no shortage of flavourful
cuisine, vibrant festivals and heritage traditions. You will always have places to go, people to meet, and treasures to discover.
