Photo Essay: Faces of Malaysia

Modified: Mar 4, 2020 · Published: Sep 15, 2011 by Guest Blogger |

Malaysia is home to one of the most ethnically diverse populations in all of Asia.

Its distinct population includes significant groups claiming Malay, Chinese and Indian ancestry.

The story of Malaysia is a harmonious country that is a leading example of tolerance and cooperation when it comes to religion & other social factors.

I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to visit several key destinations that included the capital city and two UNESCO heritage sites.

The following is a photo essay of the distinct faces of Malaysia from Penang, George Town, Melacca, Melaka, Kuala Lumpur & the Batu Caves:
