This week, it’s right into the heart of south-east Asia as TravelSmart turns its eye to Malaysia, a country of extraordinary beauty and diversity.
Simon Calder, The Independent’s travel correspondent, shares his fondness for the islands of Langkawi and Penang, while Annabel Grossman explores what to do in Kuala Lumpur, the nation’s capital. The pair also discuss Borneo, the world’s third-largest island and home to the East Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak.
