When it comes to having a pleasant, hassle-free trip, Malaysia

is probably one of the best places to visit in South-East Asia.

Several decades of sustained economic growth and political

stability have made it one of the most buoyant and wealthy

countries in the region. So, although political power (Malay)

and economic clout (Chinese) are still traditionally divided

along racial lines, Malaysia has moved toward a pluralist

culture based on a vibrant and interesting contribution of

Malay, Chinese, Indian and indigenous cultures and customs.
