Congratulations Malaysia ! It’s always a pleasure for me to visit your country, from Penang to Cameroon Highlands, Langkawi to KL and Malacca , and plenty more places to come.
I have always found your people to be most charming and helpful , and the often perfect command of English is a huge bonus ! Of course, I won’t forget the food of which I am very fond. See you soon .
