In this issue of Senses of Malaysia, we take you on a ‘virtual road trip along the Peninsula’, from north to south. We start with one of the country’s favourite island getaways, the natural wonderland of Langkawi. Next stop as we head south is Ipoh, a small city that is growing tremendously in popularity with visitors and from there we continue heading south to the charming and bustling heritage city of Melaka. We reach the southernmost state of Johor, home of the Iskandar Malaysia development that’s now celebrating its 10th anniversary. We also bring you fascinating stories about Malaysia and Malaysians, as we do in every issue.
