Malaysia, A Unique Country

Malaysia is a multiracial country. Malaysia has a population of 23.27 million

consisting of 61 percent Malays, 30 percent Chinese, 8 percent Indians and 1
percent of other ethnic groups. Malaysia is unique because of its diversity of races,
religions and cultures, the stability of the country and many places of interests.
Besides, there are many international achievements which are the pride of our
nation.

Diversity of races, religions and cultures is a significant characteristic of our nation.

Malaysia is a multiracial country with a rich cultural heritage. Unique to Malaysia is
the 'Open House' concept where during the various cultural and religious festival like
Hari Raya, Chinese New Year, Deepavali, Gawai Day and others, friends and
families and even strangers would visit the homes of those who are celebrating the
festival, to wish them well and enjoy the feast prepared by the hosts. Although the
visitors may be from different races, they still can tolerate with each other and live
under the same roof where they celebrate the festival together. This will help to
strengthen the ties among themselves.

Moreover, the stability and peacefulness of Malaysia is also a uniqueness of us. We

live harmoniously in a country where there are no wars and conflicts among
Malaysians. War is dreadful and it may deteriorate humans' lives. We are fortunate
that our country is safe and runs off the war. So, people can live safely here.
Somehow, Malaysia is a paradise for those Iraqis or Pakistanis. Besides, our country
is freed from natural disasters such as earthquakes. Earthquakes may bring death
and destroy many buildings. Therefore, Malaysia is unique because of the stability
and peaceful environment.

On top of that, there are many places of interests in country such as beaches,
islands and rain forest. Malaysia's rain forest is considered as the oldest in the world.
The diverse species of animals and plant life continue to excite a great deal of
scientific research. Many believe that some undiscovered plant may hold cures to
many currently incurable human diseases. There are many islands in our country
such as Pulau Langkawi, Pulau Redang, Pulau Ketam and many others. Pulau
Langkawi has a lot of historitical informations. Those who are in favour of history can
go there to explore the history of that place. All the beaches in those islands are
beautiful. The sand is soft and white. The accommodation is well-established and
that makes those islands ideal places to visit.

Following this, there are also international achievements of our country. Those
achievements include the existence of Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA),
Formula One (F1) racing circuit and the Petronas Twin Towers. KLIA is unique
because it has all that is needed for business, entertainment and relaxation within its
boundaries. The airport is part and parcel of the Multimedia Super Corridor where
high technology industries are being actively developed. Nevertheless, there is a
Formula One Race Track near the airport, so foreign car racing enthusiasts from all
over the world can come for a visit to gather here. Besides that, Petronas Twin
Towers which is a building that soars 452 metres into the sky is once upon a time,
the tallest building in the world and yet it is a national pride to the people of Malaysia.

In short, Malaysia is unique that it has diversity of races, religions and cultures, a
stable and peaceful environment, places of interest and some internal achievements.
Those are important characteristic of our nation. It is rich of cultural heritage; it would
be worth to play a visit here.
