Where else in the world can a visitor take in breathtaking vistas that seem to flow back and forth in time, from an ultra-modern airport to acres of plantations that once spearheaded the country’s agricultural dominance, and from pre-war shop houses all the way to towering skyscrapers?

Here, a tourist can cast his eyes in a sweeping panorama of bewitching million-year-old rainforests to a luxurious five-star resort, and wonder if he has stepped into a Salvador Dali painting.

From the prevalent Malay crafts dating back to the days of sultanate rule, to the exuberant Chinese festivities, Indian trade influences and a smorgasbord of other communities, the imagery of Malaysia’s social fabric is at once vivid and truly unique.

Yet even as words or pictures can articulate the essence of a place, Malaysia’s most intimate nuances, like the genuine smiles of its people to year-round warmth of its tropical climate, must be experienced to be fully appreciated.

So if you’re planning holidays in Asia, your vacation album won’t quite be as colourful or filled with an eclectic mix of sights without a lengthy stopover in Malaysia.
