Malaysia

Malaysia is a multiracial country. Malaysia has a population of 23.27 million consisting of 61 percent Malays, 30 percent Chinese, 8 percent Indians and 1 percent of other ethnic groups. Malaysia is unique because of its diversity of races, religions and cultures, the stability of the country and many places of interests. Besides, there are many international achievements which are the pride of our nation.

Diversity of races, religions and cultures is a significant characteristic of our nation. Malaysia is a multiracial country with a rich cultural heritage. Unique to Malaysia is the 'Open House' concept where during the various cultural and religious festival like Hari Raya, Chinese New Year, Deepavali, Gawai Day and others, friends and families and even strangers would visit the homes of those who are celebrating the festival, to wish them well and enjoy the feast prepared by the hosts. Although the visitors may be from different races, they still can tolerate with each other and live under the same roof where they celebrate the festival together. This will help to strengthen the ties among themselves.

Moreover, the stability and peacefulness of Malaysia is also a uniqueness of us. We live harmoniously in a country where there are no wars and conflicts among Malaysians. War is dreadful and it may deteriorate humans' lives. We are fortunate that our country is safe and runs off the war. So, people can live safely here. Somehow, Malaysia is a paradise for those Iraqis or Pakistanis. Besides, our country is freed from natural disasters such as earthquakes. Earthquakes may bring death and destroy many buildings. Therefore, Malaysia is unique because of the stability and peaceful environment.

On top of that, there are many places of interests in country such as beaches, islands and rain forest. Malaysia's rain forest is considered as the oldest in the world. The diverse species of animals and plant life continue to excite a great deal of scientific research. Many believe that some undiscovered plant may hold cures to many currently incurable human diseases. There are many islands in our country such as PulauLangkawi, PulauRedang, PulauKetam and many others. PulauLangkawi has a lot of historiticalinformations. Those who are in favour of history can go there to explore the history of that place. All the beaches in those islands are beautiful. The sand is soft and white. The accommodation is well-established and that makes those islands ideal places to visit.

Following this, there are also international achievements of our country. Those achievements include the existence of Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA), Formula One (F1) racing circuit and the Petronas Twin Towers. KLIA is unique because it has all that is needed for business, entertainment and relaxation within its boundaries. The airport is part and parcel of the Multimedia Super Corridor where high technology industries are being actively developed. Nevertheless, there is a Formula One Race Track near the airport, so foreign car racing enthusiasts from all over the world can come for a visit to gather here. Besides that, Petronas Twin Towers which is a building that soars 452 metres into the sky is once upon a time, the tallest building in the world and yet it is a national pride to the people of Malaysia.

Assalamualaikum and good morning @ evening

      This is my second entry in this blog. For today story I will tell about ‘PETS’.

      Pets. Did you know what is pets? In Malay we say it ‘haiwan peliharaan’ such as cat, dog, hamster and other. I don’t have a pets but my younger brother has a pet at my village. My brother’s pet not a cat or dog or hamster but it is a goat. It sound a little weird right? But it is true. My brother’s pet names ‘Taiko’ because it have a good genetic, Barbados genetic.

Example of Barbados genetic

     

 Nowadays, as we know many people have some weird taste to have a pets. Jellyfish, poisonous snakes and scorpions. And there must have some people have illegal pets like raccoon and caimans that is in a categorize as endangered species.

  In Malaysia, there maybe one or two people that have pets like that because there are many Malaysia law to secure the endangered species. Many Malaysian just get the cat or hamster and dog for non-muslims as a pet. For the peoples who have a lot of money, they will buy a cat that have high value and good genetic. Some of the cat like British shorthair, Bengal, Exotic shorthair, Himalayan and Birman.

Friendships

Close friendships are hard to come by these days. In an ever-changing world with people striving to achieve their interpretation of  success, it is hard to know who your true friends are. Fortunately, I found my best pal early at the tender age of seven. We were both enrolled at the same school .

Abu and I got acquainted as both of us were in the same class and sat next to each other. Abu was a happy-go-lucky boy. He always knew what to say and would voice them at the best possible moments. Both pupils and teachers alike enjoyed her company and liveliness. There was hardly ever a dull moment when he was around with his funny quips and expressions.

Abu was born in a simple family. His father was a businessman and his mother owned a boutique. Both her parents were very caring towards him as he, just like me, was the only child of the family. Abu came to school each day with a smile. He was a very nice person to be around with. He and I used to go everywhere together and both of us were rarely seen apart. We used to talk about so many things as we walked, thoroughly enjoying our time together.

One day, I went to school and forgot to ask my parents for lunch money. At first, I was not hungry and thought I could bear going without a meal but soon, my stomach begin to growl. Without asking, he generously paid for my meal and drinks during recess. The incident revealed to me how lucky I was to have such a caring and compassionate friend.

Currently, Abu and I are studying at different college. It was hard to be apart at first, but technology in the form of instant messaging ,Whatsapp, Facebook and Instagram have helped to bridge the gap in our friendship. I sincerely wish our friendship will never end and I hope that we can achieve success to face the real and cruel world out there.
