About Malaysia

Known for its rainforests, beaches and the wonderful melding of Malay, Indian, Chinese and European cultures, Malaysia is a sprawling playground for many tourists. Kuala Lumpur, the capital, is where you will find the 451m high Petronas Twin Towers and the perfect city to rub the digits off your credit card as you swan around one of the many incredible shopping centers and districts such as Bukit Bintang. Sitting in the Southeast of Asia, it has a throbbing population of over 30 million. It is one of 17 "mega diverse" countries in the world with a huge number of endemic species. Multi-ethnic and multi-cultural, Malaysia is a hoi polloi of bodies, an Islamic country, whilst allowing freedom of religion for non-Muslims. Malaysia has one of the best economic records in the whole of Asia that is fuelled by its natural resources and the expansion into tourism, commerce, and the science sectors. It has a "newly industrialized market economy" that is ranked 3rd largest in Southeast Asia. Of its 30,949,962 population, 68.1% are connected to the Internet with 61.4% of that number hopping onto Facebook. Its Wi-Fi is affordable and the government is making rural connectivity a priority, as well as launching a smart village initiative that will allow free Internet to villages everywhere in the country. There is a startup hub happening in Malaysia where there is a technology heritage and many silicon chip manufacturers are based. Malaysia faces a lack of tech talent and programmers with many startups outsourcing to countries such as Vietnam and Indonesia. A recent corruption scandal has made investors scarce, but quite a few startups have been resilient to the crisis with prospects looking good for the homegrown ventures such as KFit (helping people find gym and fitness classes), IFlix (video streaming service), iMoney (personal finance platform) and several other creative wonders.
