Magazine Description
In this issue
In this issue of Senses of Malaysia, we take a closer look at the country’s two most popular islands, Langkawi and Penang, and learn what it is that makes these two very different islands – both located along Peninsular Malaysia’s northwest coast – so special. From the rich heritage and regionally renowned food in Penang to the whitesand beaches and duty-free shopping in Langkawi, there’s something for everyone on these two beloved islands. We even cover a number of terrific hiking opportunities in Penang! In a special section, we also turn our attention in this issue to one of Malaysia’s most thriving sectors, international education. Boasting a growing number of top-calibre schools and colleges, Malaysia is making itself increasingly known for its educational opportunities, from preschool and Montessori offerings right through to secondary and tertiary education.
