Product Description

The Rough Guide to Malaysia, Singapore & Brunei is the definitive guide to these three fascinating Southeast Asian countries. There’s detailed coverage of Malaysia’s superb natural attractions, including Taman Negara – the Peninsula’s main national park, with its four gateways – and, in Sabah and Sarawak, Mount Kinabalu and the limestone pinnacles at Mulu. Great beaches and islands also get full attention, including the islands of Langkawi, the Perhentians and the dive mecca of Sipidan. There’s plenty on the indigenous tribes of Borneo too, including how to make upriver trips to traditional longhouses. The book also provides the lowdown on Singapore’s burgeoning entertainment scene – from alternative gigs to cutting-edge theatre – and uncovers the secret charms of secluded Brunei. All the background you need to get the best out of these multicultural nations is here, including a food vocabulary to help you order the best Malay, Chinese and Indian fare, and insights into local etiquette.

Not up to usual Rough Guide standard
A disappointing guide, especially if you want to go Borneo, there's a general lack of detail and a feeling of it being out of date.
Also not much information for scuba divers and the book omitted the island of Layang Layang altogether.
It was better for the more commonly travelled places such as KL and Penang on peninsular malaysia.

Absolutely fantastic! Detailed, concise, accurate...
Once again Rough Guides have proved to be the most definitive guide to wherever I travel. Great stuff, reliable information, and of course its something to read while chilling out in some of the world's most interesting countries!
