WHAT TO EXPECT IN MALAYSIA?Malaysia is one of Southeast Asia’s top travel destinations, possessing an endless range of attractions and activities that cater for the cosmopolitan shopper, cultural enthusiast, historical buff and nature-lover. Malaysia is well known for Multiculturalism, which has not only made Malaysia a gastronomical paradise, but also made Malaysia home to hundreds of colourful festivals. As a people, Malaysians are very warm and friendly. Geographically, Malaysia is as diverse as its culture. Let’s explore the variety of cultures in Malaysia.

KUALA LUMPUR CITY CENTRE (KLCC)Located in the KL city centre, the Petronas Twin Towers’ architecture is Islamic-inspired and the buildings primarily house the corporate headquarters of the Petronas Company and other offices. Petronas Twin Towers has two identical 88-storey buildings whereby both towers are joined at the 41st and 42nd floors (175m above street level) by a 58.4 metre-long, double-decker Skybridge.

CENTRAL MARKETBuilt in 1928, the Central Market, also known as Pasar Seni is just a short walk away from Petaling Street, along Jalan Hang Kasturi. The focus for the city’s artistic community, inside the building is a warren of boutiques, handicraft and souvenir stalls with traders selling local merchandise such as authentic Malaysian batik prints and more.

BATU CAVESBatu Caves is a limestone hill comprising of three major caves and a number of smaller ones. This 100-year-old temple features idols and statues erected inside and around the main caves and are frequented by visitors from all over the world throughout the year. Incorporated with interior limestone formations said to be around 400 million years old, the temple is considered an important religious landmark by Hindus.

SULTAN ABDUL SAMAD BUILDINGConstructed entirely of brick, the Sultan Abdul Samad building features strong gothic, western and Moorish-style influences with an imposing porch, graceful arches, curved colonnades topped with shiny copper cupolas and a domineering 41.2m-high clock tower. It is frequently seen as the backdrop for Malaysia’s annual Independence Day parades, which takes place at Dataran Merdeka.
