Malaysian Women Scarfs
At the colourful market, Kota Bahru, Kelantan  Some Malaysian women wear colourful scarfs. These Malay TUDONGS come in glorious colours and complement the already photogenic,oval faces of the wearers. Tudong is a Malay word which is commonly translated/referred to as a veil or headscarf in English. They are worn in accordance to Islam's hijab. Usually, the tudong covers the hair while leaving the face exposed. It is part of the standard dress code for office work, school uniforms and formal occasions.  Flickr |

Kenangan Palace
Perak  Istana Kenangan was built around the same time as Istana Iskandariah. After the calamity of the Big Flood of 1926, when the original palace, Istana Sri Sayong, was almost swept away, a decision was made to built a new palace that is on higher ground. Istana Kenangan was built as a temporary mausoleum for the late Duli Yang Maha Mulia Sultan Iskandar Shah (Marhum Kadasallah), while awaiting the completion of Istana Iskandariah nearby. image hosted on flickr  image hosted on flickr  image hosted on flickr  NOTE: Kenangan - Memory Flickr |

Tabur Hill
Bukit Tabur at Klang Gates, Kuala Lumpur  Bukit Tabur at Ulu Klang, next to the Klang Gates catchment area in Kuala Lumpur is of the most surprisingly fabulous walk in Kuala Lumpur. The line of limestone and quartz ridge consists of nine ridges and is supposedly the longest quartz ridge in Malaysia. It is not high- the highest point is only 448 meters- but it affords a panoramic view of the dam of the catchment area and the skyline of Kuala Lumpur city. The ridges can be seen from many places in the northeast corner outside of KL city. I was told that it is one of the choicest places to watch fireworks over KL. image hosted on flickr  image hosted on flickr  image hosted on flickr   View from Bukit Tabur image hosted on flickr  Flickr Last edited by nazrey; June 28th, 2009 at 10:27 AM. |

 world heritage - Mount Kinabalu ParkSABAH  http://www.mount-kinabalu-borneo.com/ ABOUT MOUNT KINABALU Mount Kinabalu towers 4095 meters (13,435 feet) above sea level. It is the highest mountain between the mighty snow-capped Himalayas and Wilhelmina (4509 meters / 14,793 feet) in Irian Jaya. It is also one of the most accessible and spectacular mountains in the world. Because of the earth movement, in is still growing with the rate of 5 mm (1/4 inches) a year. Ever changing, it is the mountain of tropical rainforest, colorful blossoms and golden sunset, but also dark and violent storms. At times, a ghostly mist shrouds the mountain and it is easy to believe the local Kadazandusun's claim that it is the homeland of their spirit world. In 1964 Kinabalu Park was established to protect Mount Kinabalu and its plant and animal life. Its 754 square kilometer (291 square mile) terrain stretches upward from lowland rain forest to montane forest, cloud forest and sub alpine meadow, before finally reaching a crown of bare granite. Only at Mount Kinabalu can you eat breakfast in a lowland rainforest, lunch in a cloud forest, and enjoy dinner in a subalpine meadow! The trail to the highest peak winds along the southern side of the mountain. It is an 8.5 kilometer (5.25 mile) trek to the top. For most people, from a 9 month-old baby (carried by father) to an 83 years-old New Zealander, the journey takes two days. The Kinabalu Park Headquarters is located 90 kilometers (56 miles) from Kota Kinabalu, Sabah's capital city. More than one million visitors have enjoyed the park since it opened. In the year 2000, UNESCO have declared Mount Kinabalu as The World Heritage Site. by Broddy87@flickr image hosted on flickr  image hosted on flickr  image hosted on flickr  image hosted on flickr  image hosted on flickr  image hosted on flickr  image hosted on flickr
