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.
