However, one reason why Malaysia is hailed as the true Asian country is the presence of various Asian cultures in the country. Different ethnic group stayed together in harmony for many years.

People who come to visit the country find the different Asian groups and also many ethnic groups live in complete coordination and harmony.

The three many cultural groups in Malaysia, namely the Malays, the Chinese and the Indians bring about a rare fusion of various cultures and bring to the fore of what Asia is. Asians have always stood for multi cultures and tribes in a society and the presence of various groups and cultures make the society and the culture more interesting.

Multicultural society had also added a rare dimension to the cultural beauty of the country. Each of the ethnic group present tin Malaysia has their own festivals. If you go to Malaysia, you would come across many kinds of festivals being celebrated in every society. Malaysians enjoy their festivals, and they make the visitors understand the significance of their festivals, which tourists love to celebrate.
