Senses of Malaysia - May - June 2017

I dette nummeret

In this issue of Senses of Malaysia, we turn our eyes to a city that has long been one of Malaysia’s star attractions, Melaka.In other parts of the country, we introduce you to the enjoyable delights of Sungai Petani and its treasure trove of ancient archaeological heritage. Meanwhile, in Perak, we visit Kuala Kangsar and learn about its royal roots. And finally, we take you around Malaysia to explore its various war monuments, most of which honour the sacrifices made by not only Malaysians, but nationals of other countries fighting for Malaysia, too. On a more back-to-nature note, we revisit Greater KL’s popular Forest Research Institute Malaysia, and take a final stroll across its landmark canopy walkway before it closes in late June. We also talk to the WWF and learn about their efforts to protect and preserve East Malaysia’s population of Borneo elephants.In a special focus in this issue, we also take a look at the growing range of quality tertiary educational opportunities available in Malaysia, and why the country is becoming a celebrated hub for college and university education in the region.
