The multicultural and multiethnic face of Malaysia is indisputable. It is also a country with great contraries. Compared to Asia, it is one of the most developed and largest market economies, focused on tourism, science, medical tourism and commerce.

With roots in Malay Kingdom and history tangled with the British Empire during the 18th century, the nation has a colourful past. The independence of Malaya came in 1948, followed by unification with North Borneo (and also Singapore and Sarawak) in 1963. Singapore was then excluded from this group.
