2. ‘‘No culture can live if it
attempts to be exclusive.’’
Mahatma Gandhi
What makes Malaysia unique is actually the varied cultures of the different
people. Morning market is a very local location where you can understand more
about this multi-cultural society.
Culture without colours is bored and unimaginable.
No matter which part of the world you turn to, the colors continue to weave a
path of sheer artistry throughout the culture.
