About
Malaysia |
|||||||
Malaysia, in the region of
Southeast Asia, is located just south of Thailand and north of
Singapore. It’s not a really big country, but promises plenty of
pleasant surprises. Malaysia has a population of about 23 million
people and is more diverse than many could imagine. There are the
Malays, Chinese, and Indians and then there are the Punjabis,
Eurasians, Peranakan (hybrids!) and even the aboriginal people. In the
state of Sabah and Sarawak, there are the Bajau, Kadazan, Murut, Iban
and various other tribes. However, we all live in peace as Malaysians
and everybody is well represented. The capital of Malaysia is none other than Kuala Lumpur. Also, Malaysia comprises of 13 states and three Federal Territories (Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya and Labuan). The 13 states are Johor, Pahang, Negeri Sembilan, Melaka, Selangor, Perak, Terengganu, Kelantan, Kedah, Pulau Pinang, Perlis, Sabah and Sarawak. Weather here is mostly sunny… but it can be chilly, rainy or cool, depending on the time of the year and location. Malaysia has plenty of spots where holiday goes would absolutely love. There are beautiful sandy beaches (more important is, beaches in Malaysia is not crowded, many times, it’s like you have the beach all for yourself!), scenic mountain ranges and nature tracks, virgin forests, shopping is great here and Malaysian city life. I think, what makes Malaysia a really nice place to be is the warmth and friendliness of the people. Malaysian people are very welcoming towards everybody. Brief History of Malaysia During the late 18th and 19th centuries, Great Britain established colonies and  protectorates
in the area of current Malaysia; these were occupied by Japan from
1942 to 1945. In 1948, the British-ruled territories on the Malay
Peninsula formed the Federation of Malaya, which became independent in
1957. Malaysia was formed in 1963 when the former British colonies of
Singapore and the East Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak on the
northern coast of Borneo joined the Federation. The first several years of the country's history were marred by Indonesian efforts to control Malaysia, Philippine claims to Sabah, and Singapore's secession from the Federation in 1965. Getting to Malaysia BY AIR There are no direct flights from Canada to Malaysia, but onward connecting arrangements with other airlines exist. A large number of visitors to Malaysia arrive by air. There are six international airports in Malaysia with the main gateway being the KL International Airport (KLIA) at Sepang in the state of Selangor. The rest of the country including Sabah, Sarawak and the Federal Territory of Labuan in East Malaysia is well serviced by 14 domestic airports and airstrips for the rural areas. BY SEA Both Peninsular Malaysia and Sabah and Sarawak in Borneo are accessible via their sea ports. Malaysia's largest modern sea port is Port Klang, located midway on the-west coast of Peninsular Malaysia. It has excellent harbourage and is a major shipping and cargo terminal. Other sea ports are in Penang and Langkawi, in the north of Peninsular Malaysia, Johor to the south and Kuantan to the east. BY ROAD Located 48km north of Alor Setar in the northern state of Kedah, Bukit Kayu  Hitam
is the main entry point into Malaysia for visitors from Thailand. The
Malaysian immigration and customs post is located near restaurants,
shops, car parks and a duty-free shopping complex. The North-South
Expressway links Bukit Kayu Hitam to Kuala Lumpur, 490km away. Padang
Besar in Malaysia's northern-most state of Perlis serves as another
entry point. It is on the main rail route and a daily train service
from Bangkok stops here. Keretapi Tanah Melayu (KTM) or Malayan
Railway provides the international express from Butterworth to Haadyai
in Thailand and has regular services from Padang Besar to Kuala Lumpur
and on to Singapore.Location Located between 2 and 7 degrees north of the Equator, Peninsular Malaysia is separated from the states of Sabah and Sarawak by the South China Sea. To the north of Peninsular Malaysia is Thailand while its southern neighbour is Singapore. Sabah and Sarawak are bounded by Indonesia white Sarawak also shares a border with Brunei. Language Bahasa Melayu (Malay) is the national language but English is widely spoken. The ethnic groups also speak various languages and dialects.. |
