Travel Tips
Is this kinda like a tourism assignment?

There's a lot that is great about Malaysia, and having been to Sabah, Penang, Malaka and (staying in) KL, I'd say that there's so much to cover, you'd better decide on the scope of your assignment. Saying that it's about Malaysia would be too generic.

Malaysia has great diversity in terms of:

1) Race
Not only Malay, Chinese, and Indian, but the local aborigines also like Murut, Rungus, Kadazan etc.

2) Culture
With our different races, we've got different practices, celebrations and beliefs. You might want to highlight how we manage to merge our diversified practices, and still live in harmony with each other.

3)Celebrations.
Where else do you celebrate New Year, Chinese New Year, Hari Raya, Thaipusam, Deepavali, Wesak, Christmas etc all in one country? I figure if there are other celebrations to be had, we Malaysians would also be more than happy to celebrate!

4) Food.
Yes, some states are better known for their food than anything else. It's still an on-going debate between my father (who's from Penang) and his best friend (who is from Melaka) who serves the better variety of food. Malaysian staples would be like Satay, Roti Canai, Naan, Nasi Lemak, Laksa, Char Koey Teow, Bubur Chacha, Cendol ...(I'm listing my favourites here) If there's any speciality in Sarawak, go ahead and highlight that as well.

5)Holiday Activities
There's so much to do in Malaysia, you'll have to prioritize what kind of activities to do here:
-- Nature Tourism: Mountain climbing, white water rafting, jungle trekking, river cruise, animal retreats / conservation sites, cave explorations, island hopping etc
--R&R: Beach and resorts all across Malaysia
--Medical Tourism: foreigners actually have their surgery here in Malaysia, and then rest and recover under the excellent care of the Malaysian hotels.
--Culture tourism: visiting the local villages and sometimes staying overnight in an 'authentic' village.

6) Arts and craft
Malaysia has so many types of craft, from rattan to wood to batik to leather to metals. Even our local toys are considered special to the identity of Malaysia: Wau, congkak and gasing are what I can think of right now

7) Shopping
There are plenty of shopping destinations in Malaysia. Duty free items would be in Labuan, Langkawi and most airports. In KL, shopping will definitely congregate at KLCC, MidValley, 1Utama, and The Curve. And those are just the ones I go to.

I hope that some of these points helps you with your assignment. I'm including some online references to help with your research.
