As a multicultural country, we are blessed with three major races, Malay, Chinese and Indian peppered with other races such as Sikh, Eurasians, Portuguese and so forth all co-existing in harmony creating a cultural mosaic making us all multi-ethnic, multi-cultural and multi-lingual.

Malaysia is blessed to be situated in a geographically stable position where there are no natural disasters such as typhoons, earthquakes, volcanoes and such to affect us. The only ‘disasters’ we get are the annual monsoons which generally only affect the East Coast of the Peninsula. Situated in a valley, Perak is sheltered by the Titiwangsa mountain range from the monsoons and strong winds.
