| Malaysia, in every sense of the
word is truly 'cosmopolitan’. Strategically located at the junction of the Indian
Ocean and the South China Sea, it held an irresistible attraction for adventurers and
explorers, traders and raiders, missionaries and evangelists. Seafaring Chinese, Indians,
Eurasians, Portuguese, Dutch, British, Japanese- all found their way to Malaysia. |

Many settled
here and are now more 'native’ than the Malays; some came, made their fortunes and
left; others caused so much trouble that they were evicted. But all added in one way or
the other to the rich and fascinating multi-hued cultural tapestry that is Malaysia. |
