Malaysia, a Unique Country

Malaysia is a multiracial country. Malaysia is unique because of its diversity of races,

religions and cultures, and the stability of the country 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. 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.

Following this, there are also international achievements of our country. Those achievements
include the existence of Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA), 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,
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.

In short, Malaysia is unique that it has diversity of races, religions and cultures, a stable and
peaceful environment, and some internal achievements. Those are important characteristic of
our nation. It is rich of cultural heritage; it would be worth to play a visit here.
