To Know Malaysia Is To Love Malaysia

As promises, I try to post some of my local collection. Lets start with the wonderful magnets from my country.


Malaysia is consist of 13 states and 3 federal teritories. Start from the north of Peninsular Malaysia we have Perlis, Kedah, Penang, Perak, Terengganu, Kelantan, Pahang, Melaka, Negeri Sembilan, Selangor and Johor. Not forget 2 Federal teritories which are Kuala Lumpur and Putra Jaya. In East Malaysia we have 2 states, Sarawak and Sabah (my hometown) which are located in Borneo Island.



First, lets explore East Malaysia.

To know the place better, you have to know the people. Sabah and Sarawak are rich with culture. You will be amazed with the people here who have different culture background but yet life in harmony.



Sarawak has more than 40 sub ethnics groups, each has their own language, culture and lifestyle. Unfortunetly not all those ethnics were photographed in magnet. so I only able to collect 3 major ethnics which are Iban, Orang Ulu and Bidayuh.
