LIVING IN MALAYSIA

A Vibrant Country

Malaysia, Truly Asia

Experience a wonderful mix of cultural tradition, nature and gastronomy at the hub of South East Asia.

One of the many things to love about Malaysia is its diverse geographical landscape that changes from state to state. For instance, in Kuala Lumpur, you will find a modern city bustling with life, home to skyscrapers occupied by many multinational companies. In east coast states like Pahang and Terengganu, you will be able to enjoy cool climates of the hilly Cameron Highlands, or walk along beautiful stretches of beaches that face the South China Sea, while in northern states of Malaysia such as Perlis or Kelantan, you will be able to witness stunning sceneries of green paddy fields, mangroves, and see “kampung” or village houses that belong to hardworking farmers and their families.
