Getting around Malaysia

Malaysia by Road

As in England and Australia, cars drive on the left. On the peninsula the roads are excellent, although a little crowded.

In Sabah and Sarawak road travel is made harder by the numerous rivers and mountainous interior.

Malaysia by Rail

An international train runs from Singapore to Thailand, through Kuala Lumpur.

The central railway line goes through the jungle to Kota Bahru on the east coast.

There are no railways in Sarawak, but an interesting journey can be had in Sabah; from Kota Kinabalu (Tanjung Aru) to Beaufort and Tenom.
