Elect's take

"Malaysia has a culinary culture and a diversity of landscape that I find consistently rewarding. Penang alone is worth the journey and the combination of cultures and landscapes across the country is genuinely compelling."

Kuala Lumpur is a dynamic and sophisticated capital. The food scene reflects the country's extraordinary multicultural heritage with Chinese, Malay, Indian and Nyonya traditions all expressed through outstanding restaurants and market stalls. Penang is one of Asia's great food destinations with UNESCO recognised street food. Malaysian Borneo offers extraordinary wildlife including orangutan encounters in Sepilok, proboscis monkeys along the Kinabatangan River and the dramatic summit of Mount Kinabalu.
