About Malaysia

Updated on: Aug 7, 2012

Capital - Kuala Lumpur

Official Currency - Ringgit (MYR)

Language – Bahasa, Malay, English, Chinese, Indian dialects, Thai

Malaysia is a peaceful, modern, multi-racial and fascinating nation located in the heart of South- East Asia, directly to the south of Thailand, and to the north of Singapore. Since the very beginning of its history, Malaysia is a land of mixing and meeting cultures.

Rich flora and fauna makes Malaysia one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. Malaysia showcases a perfect blend of nature and modernism with dominant cultural values. The state religion of Malaysia is Islam.

Malaysian cuisine is highly influenced by the surrounding regions. It’s a mixture of Chinese, Indian, Thai, Malay, and the like. The food is not similar to the original dishes. Rice and chilies are a major part of many dishes.

Malaysia has a tropical rain forest climate with a steady average temperature of 27 degrees, throughout the year. Malaysia experiences monsoons two times a year, the southwest monsoon and the northwest monsoon.

Malaysia has been in the records for having generated the highest GDP in Asia, and for being the 29th largest economy in the world. The past two decades have witnessed Malaysia emerging as a new international business hub and a role model for many developing countries.

Malaysia Important Vocabulary

Bahasa Malaysia is the official language of Malaysia. English is carried on as a secondary language and is the medium of studies in schools and colleges. People generally speak, write, and understand English in most of the parts of Malaysia.

Some of the common vocabulary in Malay language to communicate with the local people is:

Thank You- Terima Kasih
Welcome- Mengalu-alukan
Help- Membantu
Money- Wang
Hired driver- Pemamdu
Beautiful- Indah
Goodbye- Selamat tinggal
Mister- Tuan
Eat- Makan
Police- Polis
Want- Mahu
Please- Sila

Malay is also spoken in Indonesia, Brunei, and Singapore. It is natively spoken by over 40 million people across the neighboring regions. It is always special to use regional vocabulary in a foreign land to communicate with the native people. However, English is a widely spoken language in Malaysia, so you can do without any knowledge of their vocabulary too.
