When Malaysia Tourism campaigns for ‘Malaysia – Truly Asia’, it is no empty slogan. The rich diversity of this country is amazing; Malaysians, Indians and Chinese form the rich kaleidoscope with a veritable mix of customs and traditions, festivals and cultures. There is no better place to look for a complete holiday experience than Genting highlands close to the capital city Kuala Lumpur.

Holiday Travel to Malaysia

Hooked by the Malaysia Tourism ad, we were on a Malaysian Airlines flight from Delhi to KL, as Kuala Lumpur is called. Selamat Detang (Hearty Welcome) they say, and that is how it was.

The meeting point of Kelang and Gombak Rivers was imaginatively named Kuala Lumpur (Muddy Convergence). Malaya came under British rule in 1913 and its economy prospered with the Indian and Chinese immigrant population increasing significantly. Malaya became independent in 1957, and in 1963, Sabah, Sarawak and Singapore combined with it to establish Malaysia. Singapore later became a separate nation.
