Malaysia is a country of contrast, bathed in the warm tropical sun, endowed with 3,000 kilometers of coastline, several historic cities, a unique cultural mix, a string of cool hill resorts, the world's oldest rain forest - and even Southeast Asia's highest mountain. Add to this a delightful fusion. 

Geographically, somewhat oddly, Malaysia comprises two distinct bodies of land, politically joined in 1963 after independence of Britain. The Malayan peninsula is the historic home of the Malay people, today' s heart and the population center of the dynamic modern nation. East Malaysia claims the northern edge of the huge, wild island of Borneo. Ethnically and culturally, Malaysia is a fundamentally Malay country overlaid with Chinese, Indian and British influences, and possessing several indigenous tribal people such as Iban, Penan and Negrito.
