Malaysia is a diverse country. From the people — who are a strong mix of Malay, Indian and Chinese — to the food, inspired by its multicultural population; to the landscape of sandy beaches, dense jungles, verdant highlands, colonial ports and sprawling cities. Travellers zip up and down the mainland heading to and from Thailand, but if you have time, get to know the country’s other side: Borneo (Sarawak and Sabah), where wildlife and tribal traditions abound.
