Malaysia is one of Southeast Asia’s most friendly and accessible tourist destinations. Most Malaysians speak English well and there are miles of pristine, deserted east coast beaches, delightful colonial cities such as Melaka and Georgetown, cool hill resorts such as the Genting Highlands, and exquisite islands such as Langkawi and Penang. There’s also East Malaysia comprising the lands of Sabah, Sarawak and parts of Borneo. The former preserves of head-hunters, these areas offer fascinating glimpses into the past.
