Malaysia has a population of about 34 million, with Malay as the official language and English, Mandarin, and Tamil widely spoken. Its currency is the Malaysian Ringgit (MYR), and the climate is equatorial, warm and humid year-round with tropical rainforests, monsoon seasons, and coastal breezes that shape its landscapes.
Visitors come to Malaysia for its mix of cultures, flavors, and natural beauty. You can explore Kuala Lumpur’s skyline and street markets beneath the Petronas Towers, wander the heritage streets of George Town in Penang filled with art, temples, and cafés, or visit Malacca for its Portuguese and Dutch colonial history. In Borneo, Sabah and Sarawak offer wildlife encounters with orangutans, rainforest treks, and longhouse villages that preserve Indigenous traditions. Malaysia’s beaches in Langkawi and the Perhentian Islands invite rest and diving adventures in clear waters. The cuisine is bold and diverse, blending Malay, Chinese, and Indian influences in dishes like nasi lemak, laksa, roti canai, and satay, shared at bustling hawker stalls and night markets. The population reflects this cultural mix, and celebrations such as Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Chinese New Year, Deepavali, and Gawai Dayak fill the year with color, food, and community spirit.
