The natural warmth of Malaysians is legendary. The country is a land of instant smiles and it is a nation of incredible contrasts. The most visible of these differences which unite the country are the varied ethnic backgrounds of its citizens. The geography and landscape is just as diverse: from urban centres to sun-drenched beaches, and jungle retreats to mountain peaks.
