Malaysia: Brief Introduction


Located just north of the equator, Malaysia borders Thailand, Indonesian Kalimantan and Brunei, and has sea boundaries with Indonesian Sumatra (Strait of Malacca), Singapore (Strait of Johor) and, in the South China Sea, the Philippines and the disputed Spratly Islands.

Both West (or Peninsular) Malaysia (area 131,794 sq km) and East Malaysia (198,000 sq km) consist of rugged forested mountainous interiors descending to coastal plains. The total area is about half that of New South Wales. Malaysia’s (also South-East Asia’s) highest peak is Mount Kinabalu at 4,100 metres in East Malaysia. Malaysia’s climate is hot (up to 34°C) and humid (2 to 4 metres of rain annually).

Our national language is Bahasa Melayu (Melayu Language) but since we are multi racial country, English language is widely used. So if you're from Europe/Middle East/America...I believe you will not be having any language problems here.

I'm not going to touch on the political issues since the purpose of this blog is to share the best vacation experience you'll be having in Malaysia.

How can you arrive here?? We have our own airline system which is Malaysia Airlines System or simply MAS. Please give a visit to their webpage http://www.malaysiaairlines.com/splash.aspx or check with your country's airline company on itinerary to Malaysia.

From the Kuala Lumpur Internantional Airport (KLIA), there will be many public transportation to use, either you want to rent a vehicle, bus, trains, taxis, limos or other transportation you can think of.

OK, enough for the introduction. Our first destinantion...Port Dickson beaches.
