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 wellestablished 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.
