   ridges,cascading rapids and icy cold waterfalls.The primeval rainforests,
   untouched for about 130  million years, are home to  numerous  species of 
   birds and wildlife.The flora is rich.And it really is a mesmerizing sight 
   taking in the  views  of  virgin  forests  and  their  somnolent canopies 
   stretching seamlessly to misty tops of  fabled  mountains. The setting is 
   perfect for bird-watching,trekking, white-water rafting,cave exploration,

   holiday  in  Malaysia  fulfilled. Both the  western and eastern shores of
   Peninsular Malaysia as well as Sabah and Sarawak offer endless  stretches

   Malaysia presents an exotic blend of old and new. In the cities,the signs
   of  modernity  and  technological  progress is evident in the intelligent
   skyscrapers, high  speed urban transportation, advanced telecommunication
   systems and information technology revolution.Yet a short drive away from
   the  cities  brings one to see the country at its rustic best. Visualized
   scattered wooden houses with smoke seeping out and engulfing the air with 
   a whiff  of  the  lazy fragrance of wood-fire and the aroma of local home
   cooking.  The  lush  carpets  of  paddy fields, local children reeling or
   scooping up fish from the canals,the rolling plains of rubber estates and
   the pleasant green plantations of oil palm are simply breathtaking.
