Malaysia
Malaysia, posited in Southeastern Asia is a peninsula bordering Thailand and northern one-third of the island of Borneo, bordering Indonesia, Brunei, and the South China Sea, south of Vietnam. Malaysia is a middle-income country, that transformed itself from 1971 through the late 1990's from a producer of raw materials into an emerging multi-sector economy. Growth was almost exclusively driven by exports - particularly of electronics.
 "Malaysia Tourist Spot")
Malaysia is one of the most pleasant, hassle-free countries to visit in South East Asia. It is buoyant and wealthy, and has moved towards a pluralist culture based on a vibrant and interesting fusion of Malay, Chinese, Indian and indigenous cultures and customs. Most visitors to Malaysia stick to the insane headlong rush of Kuala Lumpur, the colonially soothing Cameron Highlands hill station or the hedonistic torpor of Langkawi. However, East Malaysia, on the island of Borneo, offers spectacular wildlife, longhouses and the awe-inspiring Mount Kinabalu.

Cameron Highlands
The Cameron Highlands, in the center of Peninsular Malaysia, comprises of a series of hill stations at altitudes between 1500-1800m (4920-5904ft). This fertile area is the center of Malaysia's tea industry and it's the place where locals and visitors come to escape the heat of the plains. Attractions include jungle walks, waterfalls, tours of tea plantations and beautiful gardens. The cool weather tempts visitors to exertions like golf, tennis, and long walks, normally forgotten at sea level - but this is really Malaysia's R 'n' R capital par excellence for those who don't like the beach and enjoy a bout of colonial nostalgia.
Kuala Lumpur
 "Kualalumpur - Malaysia Tourist Spot")
Kuala Lumpur is an Asian tiger that roars: in almost 150 years, it has grown from nothing to a modern, bustling city of almost two million people. Take in its high-flying triumphs from the viewing deck of the world's tallest building, then dive down to explore its more traditional culture in the back lanes of Chinatown. It's a modern Asian city of gleaming skyscrapers, but it retains much of the local color that has been wiped out in other Asian boom-cities such as Singapore. It has plenty of colonial buildings in its center, a vibrant Chinatown with street vendors and night markets, and a bustling Little India.
Penang Island
The 285 sq km (177 square metres) island of Penang, off Malaysia's northwestern coast, is the oldest British settlement in Malaysia and one of the country's premier resort areas. Alongside Georgetown, the island's beaches are touted as the major drawcard but they're somewhat overrated.
Melaka (Malacca)
Located on the West Coast of the Malaysian Peninsula, is the state of Melaka (or as it was formerly known as Malacca). Malacca is about 120 km south east of Kuala Lumpur and about 250 km. north-west of Singapore and is easily accessible by road via the North-South highway. Melaka is a melting pot of different races, cultures, religions and languages that has evolved over the past 600 years. All races now live, work and play together to forge a harmonious and progressive environment.
Weather
The climate is moderate and tropical with two monsoons,
the annual southwest (April to October) and northeast (October to February). Malaysia is hot and humid all year. Temperatures are usually between 20-30°C (68-86°F); humidity is usually 90%. The region has a monsoon climate, but only the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia has a 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's between October and February. Rain, when it comes, generally interrupts the sunshine only briefly; most of it falls in short, strong bursts.
