The tragedies of the MH370, which disappeared earlier this year in March, and MH17, which was recently gunned down while flying over Ukraine, has understandably made people question the safety of flying with Malaysia Airlines; yet there are a ton of reasons to visit Malaysia itself. A beautiful country that has yet to be bombarded with tourists, people would do well to set aside their fears and take in such a complex culture.
Whether treating themselves to a luxurious stay at a boutique hotel surrounded by a jungle or a trip to a one-of-a-kind theme park that looks like it is straight out of Jurassic Park, these reasons to visit Malaysia only scrape the surface of what the country has to offer.
