Malaysia, a great place to visit but ex Prime Minister, Mahathir Mohamad poisoned tourism in the country.

Sad but true,

Malaysia has a "sad" relationship with the west. In the 70s if you had long hair you could have your passport printed SHIT, Suspected Hippy In Transit.

Tourism has never recovered, terrorism in the north hasn't helped.

A very nice country, in need of tourism help.

They are all appealing, but the last is my favorite so far.

They're all interesting, but #3 is more than a tourist picture.

At least to my old eyes, the one on the right has had the dark greens, maybe more,  lifted slightly.
