| Malaysia is a multi-cultural nation where Chinese, Indian and Malay customs and traditions blend together to form the foundation of Malaysian culture. In terms of architecture also you will notice that Malaysians have adopted certain characteristic features of the architectures of these ethnic groups. Malaysia was under the colonial rule for a long time and the influence of British architecture is clearly reflected in the magnificent architecture of Malaysia especially in Penang.
Malaysia boasts of a varied architecture where old colonial buildings blend beautifully with modern skyscrapers to form a charming picture. The mosques in Malaysia, including Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah Mosque in Selangor, are wonderful examples of the glorious Moorish architecture and mesmerize the visitors with their stunning beauty. Leong San Khoo Kongsi in Penang, one of the foremost tourist attractions in Malaysia, is a 650 years old complex and the solidarity and centripetalism of the Khoo clan and the defensive instinct of the Hokkien community of Malaysia during the British rule is clearly reflected in the closely built nature of the complex building. The Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur, world's second tallest buildings, are modern glass and steel structures and are no less beautiful than the historical buildings. The Malay houses along the countryside are built with stilts and have large windows in order to keep the buildings cool and safeguard them from floods. On your Malaysia tours, you must also visit the exquisite temples found in all major tourist destinations of Malaysia to get an understanding of the contributions of the Indians towards the Malaysian architecture.
