Travel Tips

Hi there ...

Not as far as KL and Penang will leave you with little choices.

If you are for "water", maybe Pulau Sibu (or those around the area), Desaru might fit your needs. Although I think 1 week in either places will be too much.

How about Taman Negara then? With about 4days - 1week, you will have more than sufficient time to see everything.

If not, Fraser hill might be a decent place too. Lesser known than genting / cameron highlands, but it is a very nice place for a short stay (2-3 days!).

If you want, you might be able to combine Fraser Hill with Taman Negara too.
Others

ok....in that case,Malacca would be a good place for you to visit.It has many historical sites for tourists to visit and rich cultural background due to its past Portugese colonization.
Penang is also another good place to visit if you dont mind.The island state itself is not just a hub for foreign tech firm investment,it is also a food paradise where you can find all-time great hawker food like char koay teow ,laksa etc at a cheap rate.Also, you can find nice beach and resorts in Penang.
Malacca is a good place. you can try the a Formosa water world resort.
Malacca is good, Port Dickson although alittle further than Malacca is also a nice place to visit. If you wish to go somewhere nearer, maybe Muar is a good town to visit. Lots of excellent makan there!

If you wish to have a pleasant quiet break, I would suggest Sebana Cove in Desaru. Its a short 30-45 mins ferry trip there and you can enjoy rounds of golf, trips into the forest, etc.
Beware of racial profiling while in malaysia.
If you happens to look like an black african,chinese from china, indian,indonesian,burmese..ple... beware of racial profiling by the malaysian government.

They will just arrest you and detains you for several hours even you have valid papers/documents.
Most recent case involved american blacks, and an indian documentary director detained by RELA and police.
