The British colonial heritage, the institutions of state, railways, and grand public buildings adds another layer. This fusion is deepened in Borneo by the added dimension of the aboriginal tribes, their traditional architecture, festivals, and unique cultural heritage.
This sense of ever shifting contrast defines Malaysia. 21st Century skylines provide a glittering backdrop to wonderfully preserved colonial grandeur, timeless attap hut dwellings. Cool hill stations hover above humid rain forest filled with birds, primates, plants, found nowhere else. Pristine white beaches, mangroves rich with life fringe crystal seas studded with islands rarely trodden.
