Places In Malaysia That Look Like Overseas
We have 2 more weeks till the Circuit Breaker ends, and many of us in Singapore may be dying to go for a short vacation. I think it's still quite unlikely that we'll get to travel to far places such as Europe or the States since it doesn't seem like the situation is entirely under control, but perhaps in 1-2 months, we may be able to travel to countries nearer to us, such as Malaysia.
If you don't know by now, I'm actually Malaysian and my hometown is in Sarawak! As I've lived there for almost 20 years, I'm also really familiar with the tourist hotspots and hidden gems, and many of them are really scenic and beautiful. So today, I'll be introducing you 30 places in Malaysia that look like overseas destinations!
