  • Crossing Street Techniques
  • by l_joo
  • Send Photo to a Friend
  • Make sure you walk slowly when crossing streets, very slowly, do not run, do not give way to vehicles, do not be nervous, be serious, stare hard at drivers, keep walking slowly, bring out a pack of cigarette, put on sunglasses, etc. Please remember, always try to make yourself look cool while crossing streets, or else you will lose face. Face losing is very much unacceptable, never do such thing, your friends will laugh at you, hahahaha........!

    Things To Do: Local Malaysians having foods
  • Tip Rating:
  • Local Malaysians having foods is not a must for tourists to see, but you can see if you want to see. This is a group of Malay-Muslim women in Baju Kurung (traditional costume) and Tudung (head scarf). Malay-Muslims in Malaysia were converted mostly during the Melacca Sultanate days in 15th century, and in year 1957, it was a must, today 99.99% Malay peoples are Muslim.

  • Visit the village of Aborigines is a must to understand more about Malaysia, to see the lifestyle of peoples, what they do, what they talk, what they eat, etc. This is a picture taken from Selangor state's Sungai Lui's village (Hulu Langat district) where a little piglet is busy searching. Early History of Malaysia did mention early inhabitants who arrived 10000+ years ago plus evidences, so here they are, the aborigines in real life for you to look at. Please click to see more pictures under the piglet.

    Things To Do: Rubber process
  • Tip Rating:
  • Malaysia - Latex dropping into the cup
  • Latex dropping into the cup
  • by l_joo
  • Send Photo to a Friend
  • Here is one photo which I took from one of the rubber plantation estate somewhere in Pahang state of Malaysia. Rubber plantation is just everywhere the moment you drive out of Kuala Lumpur. Oil Palm plantation estate as well. Rubber that we use today in our car tyres and many other daily products were originated from the rubber trees which is what you see in this photo. The tree is commonly known as rubber trees but its botanical family was Hevea tree. To get the latex out from the trees has to wait many years for it to grow up and to know the skills of tapping as well. The tapping procedures is to use a special custom made knife only for rubber tapping very sharp to shave off some of its outer layer to let the latex comes out and drop into the cup. The tapping skills is not just that easy but needs practice before one can simply tap. The cup was later to be send to the rubber factory to start the process and last sent to the tyre factory.

    Things To Do: Malaysian beach
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Most tourists from the West came to visit Malaysia beaches in the East Coast, nobody wants to visit the West Coast as the water was highly opaque due to over commercial of the famous Straits of Melacca. Please remember to visit the East Coast of Pahang, Terengganu and Kelantan states, especially the remote islands.
