Malaysian Culture Group

 

Explorers Group


From exploring Crab Island, where an entire village stands on stilts and the only mode of transportation is bicycles, to visiting the Yayasan Restu, a foundation that has written and decorated the first Koran with solely Malaysia motifs and using only Malay artists and calligraphers... the Explorers Group is ready to do it all.

The group was founded by MCG members whose sole aim is to get to know their environs more intimately by visiting new places, giving a different aspect to an already known area or meeting some of the interesting people who live in this fascinating country called Malaysia.

Each member of the Explorers Group takes a turn to identify, research and lead the team on a unique excursion. Since there is an abundance of little-known cultural, artistic and historical gems in this area, the group has been actively exploring these opportunities.
