About Malaysia

Malaysia is a Southeast Asian country split between Peninsular Malaysia and the states of Sabah and Sarawak on the island of Borneo. Its mix of Malay, Chinese and Indian influences shapes a destination where modern city life, historic trading ports, rainforests and island coasts sit close together.

Kuala Lumpur, the capital, is known for landmarks such as the Petronas Towers, busy shopping districts and street food. George Town on Penang and Melaka preserve colonial-era shophouses and multicultural heritage, while Johor Bahru and Kota Kinabalu serve as important regional centres.

Beyond the cities, Malaysia offers tropical rainforests such as Taman Negara, cool highlands around the Cameron Highlands, and island destinations including Langkawi, the Perhentian Islands and Tioman. In Sabah and Sarawak, travellers can explore Mount Kinabalu, wildlife-rich national parks and longhouse communities.

Malaysia is an important regional business and trade destination, and its calendar includes cultural festivals, food events and international conferences. Tourism, manufacturing and services all play a role in the country's international profile.

A network of international airports, highways and rail services connects Malaysian cities and regions, making it convenient to travel between airports, hotels, business districts, event venues and tourist destinations.
