See the real Malaysia by visiting the items on my list of things Malaysian. Most possibly these are places you have never heard about before.

The headhunters of Borneo live in Sarawak. For hundreds of years, people rarely visited for a good reason. Those that did often never returned.

Tourists really have no need to worry as cannibalism is now discouraged.
