Kuala
Lumpur, which is also the capital of
Malaysia, function as the center of
Malaysia's political, commercial and
social life. It is a city of delightful
contrast - a combination of modern cosmopolitan,
sophistication and lingering old world
charm; a juxtaposition of gracious colonial
edifices, pre-war shop houses and gleaming
copper domed roofs against a backdrop
of towering skyscrapers. Narrow streets
of quaint old shop houses open out to
wide-open tree-lined avenues. The favorable
climate accounts for the lush greenery
and profusion of tropical blooms in
a riot of colors - a truly fitting background
for its happy mix of multi-racial populace
of Malays, Chinese, Indians and other
races. The end result is unique blend
of age-old customs and traditions: colorful
festivals, songs and dances and a rich
variety of foods to tempt the palate.
