As the capital, Kuala Lumpur is the most modern and developed city in Malaysia. The once small mining boomtown has gone on to become bustling metropolis city, complete with contemporary high-rises, world-class hotels, glitzy shopping malls and is the home of the world tallest twin towers, Petronas Towers.
Male\', complete with its own artificial beach, swimming track, historic sites, and spectacular skyline of candy-colored skyscrapers, manages to be both an island and a city. Previously a sparsely populated island, Male\' has evolved into a world-class city with all the modern facilities from schools, hospitals, to international restaurants.
The combination of easygoing islander roots, along with the forward-thinking attitude of the locals, has created a laid-back town which both quiet yet fast paced.
