MALAYSIA

Travel to Malaysia means to fall in love with Malaysia. A

bubbling and bustling melting pot of races and religions,

where Malays, Indians, Chinese and many other ethnic groups

live together in peace and harmony.

Multiculturalism has not only made Malaysia a gastronomically

paradise, but also home of hundreds of colourful festivals. It's

no wonder that we love celebrating and socialising.

Malaysians are very laid back, warm and friendly.

One of Malaysia's key attractions is its extreme contrasts.

Towering skyscrapers looking down upon wooden houses built

on stilts, and five-star hotels sit several metres away from

ancient reefs. Cool hideaways can be found in the highlands

that roll down to warm, sandy beaches and rich, humid

mangroves.

For the perfect holiday full of surprises: the time is now, the

place is Malaysia.

Objectives According to resources –

The Star Online [4th March 2012], graduates emerging

from the Malaysian education system fail to

meet the expectations of prospective employers due to a lack of critical thinking

skills and poor communication. This has

resulted in employers having to provide additional

training to fit them into their respective job scopes. Many

graduates also have to accept employment that
