Nelles Guide Reiseführer Malaysia - Singapur - Brunei

Travel Destinations: From Kuala Lumpur, the travel routes lead through the Malaysian states to cities of historical significance like Melaka. Beaches and diving spots in Langkawi or Tioman are part of the itinerary, as well as excursions into the rainforest to visit the Dayak in Sarawak or to the affluent Brunei. A dedicated chapter is devoted to the booming city-state of Singapore.

History: Islamic sultans, British colonial rulers, Malays, and Chinese and Indian immigrants have all shaped the history of West Malaysia, just as the "White Rajahs" influenced the fate of East Malaysia. Little affected by this, descendants of the indigenous people, the Orang Asli, still live in the rainforests today.

Travel Information: The "Yellow Pages" at the end of the book contain all the essential information for travel preparations and for traveling within the country. A language guide complements the practical tips. The info boxes at the end of the chapters refer to restaurants, attractions, and transportation connections.
