About
Malaysia
About Malaysia, just like many other countries,
Malaysia has its hidden gems as well as traps. The idea is to discover the gems
and to avoid the traps. I will share with you all that I know and love about
this beautiful and friendly country where I was born and where I call
home. Though it is a
relatively young country, gaining independence from the British only in 1957,
it has an interesting history and a rich and diverse culture. Here you'll
discover more about Malaysia, and hopefully discover the gems. Check out the
things you can do in Malaysia.

This is followed by the Chinese, at about 25% of its population. The Indians
form about 8% of its population. The others include indigenous people of the
peninsula, Sabah and Sarawak. There are also significant numbers of Eurasians
here too.
