Malaysia

Golbez, Mdzafri

Anyone who's seen the news recently will know all about the trouble that happened here in the past 3 weeks, the missing plane, #prayformh370 and all that goes with it. The Malaysian government has been heavily criticised, mostly by the Chinese, about how they dealt with the situation but apart from that Malaysia is a perfectly stable country and much safer than neighbouring Indonesia in terms of crime rates.
The capital is Kuala Lumpur but other major cities are Johor Bahru, Putrajaya, Kuala Terengannu and Malacca.

Kuala Lumpur

Compiled by Azreey

Kuala Lumpur has many interesting things to see and do. The Petronas Towers are the tallest twin towers in the world and are both linked by a bridge. The Chinatown (top centre) is a popular destination because of its exotic flavours and shops but I always wonder why people don't just go to China for that kind of thing. There's also the Jamek Mosque, one of the oldest mosques in Malaysia. (top right)

Penang

I first heard of Penang because there is a Chinese restaurant near me called Penang Garden. When I looked it up I discovered Penang was actually in Malaysia...

This is the second smallest state in Malaysia (apparently Perlis is smallest but I don't know much else about it) and is mostly on an island with parts on the mainland. It is famous for the beaches, the tropical climate and a Chinese opera festival that takesplace every year.

Sabah is located on the island of Borneo. It is known for its beautiful landscapes and rainforests. The capital of the state is Kota Kinabalu. I'll let the pictures do most of the explaining...
