The Carnival of Colours : Malaysia
Malaysia has a wonderful potpourri of different races comprising three main group - Malays, Chinese and Indians besides the Portuguese, Chitty, Singh and Orang Asli in Peninsular Malaysia, and numerous indigenous groups such as the Ibans, Kadazans, Kenyahs, Bidayuhs and Muruts in Sabah and Sarawak.

Culture and Heritage are statements of our history...
they provide us with the sense of place and lifestyle of people lived at a certain time.

The wonderful multi-racial character of Malaysia was achieved through decades of developing a high degree of racial, cultural and religious tolerence among all races. Each races are rich in their cultures, customes and traditions. Festivals abound, and events celebrations whether for the pure joy of art or to glorify the gods, can be found throughout Malaysia. These elements had make our country a land of festivals celebrated throughout the year.

A city without old buildings is like a man without memory.
Furthermore, through preserving our architectural heritage, we recognise and celebrate the achievements of our nation and our people. Old buildings are mostly unique, they express our character and give us an identity. Each heritage building or landmark tell a story. They are unique and representative or cultural traditions of their era. Without physical legacy and sound traditional values, the country may one day became a robotic fast-paced society whose only concerns are of the 'perceived achivements'.

As a kaleidoscope of people, places, cultural, festivals and events, Malaysia are always welcome the world to experience firsthand's beauty and charm of an exciting and diverse nation of Malaysia. So, what are you waiting for!
