Malaysia bridges mainland and peninsular
Southeast Asia and is divided into two parts
separated by more than 400 miles of the South China
Sea. Most of Malaysia occupies the southern
tip of the Malay Peninsula, south of Thailand - and
is formerly known as Malaya, or Peninsular or West
Malaysia. ( East Malaysia occupies the northern
portion of the island of Borneo.) Malaya gained
independence from the British in 1957 and in 1963
Singapore, Sabah, and Sarawak joined Malaya to
form the Federation of Malaysia, although Singapore
withdrew from the federation in 1965.
As a nation, Malaysia boasts a diversified population of
18 million people, composed of Malays, Chinese, and,
Indians. Throughout the CD-ROM, the viewer will
hear the sounds, see videos, and gaze on photographs
of Malaysia.

Imagine for a moment "clicking" through the section
entitled "Traditional Musical Instruments of Kelantan."
Read about such instruments as the "rebana" and the
"kertok."
No amount of description can paint an
image of the
kertok in the reader's mind - the sound that comes from
a kertok, or the motion involved in playing this small
coconut drum. - but with Click Malaysia you not
only read--you see the photos...then suddenly the image
begins to move, you hear the penetrating sounds. The
man on the screen is actually playing the kertok!
 Hear the kertok now!
Playing the kertok
The section on the Rainforest features Taman Negara's Kelantan side Kuala
Koh, with the sounds of the rainforest, video, and still photos of the flora
and fauna, the Orang Asli, living in and outside the park. You can even take a 4WD trip through the rainforest in line with the government ecotourism programs.
Hear the rainforest now!
