Malaysian Borneo is one of the safest regions in the world. People may sometimes have the wrong impression about Malaysia because of incidents that happen in other Asian countries; however one must remember that Asia is a very large area! Malaysia Borneo (Sabah, Sarawak) is politically stable, ethnically & religiously tolerant. Free from epidemics, with good medical treatment widely available. The area is not within any zones of natural catastrophes, with very few strong tropical storms let alone hurricanes or tsunamis. It is this peaceful, pleasant, and culturally diverse environment which is the now the hallmark of Malaysia and one of its greatest assets.
