Malaysia Trivia
Fun Facts, Opinions & Travel News
This Malaysia Trivia section is a fascinating A-Z list of trivia, Malaysia culture, food, statistics, curiosities as well as my opinions and comments on various travel-related news items.
Much of this material used to be in my e-book Offbeat Malaysia which was sold via the Blurb bookstore. I have now decided to discontinue the book but to incorporate the contents free of charge into this Malaysia Traveller website instead so that more people can enjoy it and to make it easier for me to update and expand.
If you want to know:
- why KL Railway Station was built to withstand six feet of snow.
- where is the most polluted place in South East Asia
- which genus of Malaysian mosquito eats ants' vomit
- where you are least and most likely to suffer from food poisoning
- what is the difference between a pawang and a bomoh
- what are the health benefits of dragon fruit
- where litter bugs go after they die
