MALAYSIA In Malaysia, steamy jungles and white beaches coexist alongside glass-and-steel skyscrapers and ultramodern shopping malls. Kuala Lumpur, the capital, is the starting point for most corporate groups. Established in 1857 as a tin-mining settlement, KL (as the natives call it) has grown to an international hub of 1.3 million people with a mix of Moorish mosques, Hindu temples, and colonial mansions sandwiched between sleek high-rises.
