First, the inedible flowers. In Bahasa Malaysia, flowers on tyres does not mean the pretty part of a plant enveloped by delicate petals. When a traffic policeman warns you that there are “no flowers” on your tyres, he is actually saying the tyres are so badly worn that he himself cannot see the tread patterns anymore. Oh, oh! You are in trouble with the Malaysian traffic law. At the end of a financial year, employees look forward to “flowers” from Malaysian bosses. Most probably, an extra month’s bonus of salary is as beautiful as flowers in their eyes. The same thought applies to “flowers” given by the banks, in this case, it is the interest. The lucky worker who receives “flowers” from his boss and bank can afford to buy “fiery flowers”. He ignites the fuse of a “fiery flower” to send it shooting high up into the sky where it blossoms into a grand display of fireworks.
As with other cultures, the female gender is considered a figurative flower in Bahasa Malaysia. A teenage girl is a “bud” who soon matures into “a flower in the garden” meaning she is single and available to be picked as a wife. If a man chooses her to be “the flower adorning” his hair, he marries her. By using beauty products flooding the Malaysian market, a married woman doesn’t have to go out of shape after having children. She can still be “the flower” of a social gathering, that is, the fairest of them all.

As many a property investor is aware, tourists mean a potentially strong market and, unlike some of its neighbours, Malaysia is now catching the eye of investors by actively touting its tourist industry in a drive to further boost its steadily growing economy. This year, marking 50 years of independence, Visit Malaysia Year is set to increase international awareness of the exotic delights and experiences just begging to be discovered here.
Malaysia has plenty to offer: a superb climate, stunning coastal and rural scenery, a multitude of recreational activities, buzzing city life in Kuala Lumpur and charming, polite, multi-cultural people. On an investment level, excellent international airport links and modern transport within the country allow easy passage to its favourite resorts and cities. With banking and legal systems akin to those in the UK, more cautious property purchasers are undeniably reassured by a purchase in Malaysia. Today the government’s economic policies, formalized in its Ninth Plan and destined for fruition within three more years, are enticing property purchasers to snap up real estate at today’s very tempting prices in the run up to inevitable price increases by 2010.

Malaysia is a fascinating holiday destination offering something for everyone to enjoy. There are three distinct destinations in the country - Peninsular Malaysia and the states of Sabah and Sarawak in East Malaysia. Visitors are often surprised to discover how developed the country is, yet rich and varied in cultural tradition.
The country’s main gateway is Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) near the capital. Other major international airports are Langkawi, Penang, Kota Kinabalu and Kuching. Kuala Lumpur or KL ia a modern cosmopolitan city boasting the world’s tallest twin towers towering at a height of 452m.
