50+1 • Malaysia
by QuaChee

50+1 • Malaysia by QuaChee is a pocket-sized book on Malaysia. Because it lends itself as being the “ultimate travel-lifestyle-entertainment guide book for all Malaysians & foreigners,” one can expect the to find some of more common aspects of Malaysia in there. There are chapters on Food, Places to Visit, Things to Do, and Festivals & Events. One chapter, Truly Malaysian, attempts to provide a rare glimpse of Malaysia that rarely sees print—Malaysian Lingo & Manglish. In compiling the book, QuaChee sought out numerous contributors. I was one of them, and it was a kick to see the number of photos and write-ups appear in the book. But the book is limited by its size and page numbers. I admit I was expecting the book to be larger in size and scope. So while it offers the ease of carrying the book around and provide pockets of interesting information, the book lacks the breath and depth that is truly needed to experience a country. Malaysia has much more to offer than what one can find in the printed pages. Even so, the book does make a handy gift for visitors coming from afar, and it can be quite an eye opener even for Malaysians.
