Malaysia is made up of two regions, the western Peninsular Malaysia and the eastern Malaysian Borneo which are separated by the South China Sea. Both regions are enormously popular for tourists and business visitors and this has resulted in the rapid development of many luxury Malaysia hotels.

Malaysia is situated near the equator and shares borders with Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, Brunei and the Philippines. The climate is tropical, hot and humid with monsoons and a high rainfall. Both East and West Malaysia have similar landscapes featuring low-lying coastal plains that rise up to densely forested hills and mountains. The area is well known for its rich biodiversity of fauna and flora which is one of the many attractions to the country.
International trade has always played a major role in the economy of Malaysia notable of which was its involvement in the spice trade many centuries ago. At one time, Malaysia was the largest producer of tin, rubber and palm oil. Today palm oil along with the cultivation of high-value trees like teak and other trees for the pulp and paper industry are the mainstays of the Malaysian economy.
Petroleum and natural gas are the mainstays of the mineral extraction sector and also make a significant contribution to the economy.Kuala Lumpur is the capital city of this beautiful land characterized by rich diversity and a vibrant mosaic of cultures. The predominant ethnic groups are the Malays, Chinese and Indians who have lived together for generations.

The main language to be spoken is Malay but many other ethnic languages and dialects can be heard. However, English too, is widely spoken particularly in the big cities. Islam is the largest religion but many other religions are represented including Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism and various Chinese religions. Malaysia is truly a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural and multilingual society.
