Rasa Sayang -- The most famous folk Song in Malaysia !!
Rasa sayang, eh rasa sayang, sayang eh,
Hei lihat Nona jauh rasa sayang, sayang eh.
Buah cempedak di luar pagar, Ambil galah tolong jolokkan.
Kami budak baru belajar, Kalau salah tolong tunjukkan.
Rasa sayang, eh rasa sayang, sayang eh,
Hei lihat Nona jauh rasa sayang, sayang eh.
Dua tiga kucing berlari, Mana sama si kucing belang.
Dua tiga boleh dicari, Mana sama adik seorang.

Thaipusam-- A big Hindu festival
THAIPUSAM is an annual Hindu festival which draws the largest gathering in multi-racial Malaysia. This big festival is celebrated at various places in Malayisa like Kuala Lumpur, Ipoh, Penang etc in Jan or Feb.
The temple at the Batu Caves, near Kuala Lumpur, often attracts over one million devotees and tens of thousands of tourists.
On the day of the festival, devotees will shave their heads undertake a pilgrimage along a set route while engaging in various acts of devotion, notably carrying various types of kavadi (burdens). At its simplest this may entail carrying a pot of milk, but mortification of the flesh by piercing the skin, tongue or cheeks with vel skewers is also common.
The most spectacular practice is the vel kavadi, essentially a portable altar up to two meters tall, decorated with peacock feathers and attached to the devotee through 108 vels pierced into the skin on the chest and back.
Fire walking and flagellation may also be practiced. It is claimed that devotees are able to enter a trance, feel no pain, do not bleed from their wounds and have no scars left behind.

Gunung Ledang -- Mount Ophir
Gunung Ledang, also known as Mount Ophir, is one of the most famous mountain in Johor because of its beautiful Malay legend about Princess of Mount Ledang (Puteri Gunung Ledang) who was once wooed by the Sultan of Malacca.
In 2006, my colleagues and I had conquered this legendary Mountain (1852m).jpg)
A gorgeous film called Puteri Gunung Ledang (The Princess of Mount Ledang) was crafted to present this beautiful legend on the big screen. And this is Malaysian film industry's successful attempt to venture into global market.
