MATA Blog

In Malay Language 'mata' means eyes. The MATA (MAlaysia Tourist Attractions) Team will be your 'sight-seeing' eyes to Malaysia's unique travel and tourist destination.

We, the MATA Team, will chronicle all our trips and journey around Malaysia on this page. These are travel reports on places that we really do go and visit.

We tell you as it is. We are not being paid to promote a certain place or area. If we think a tourist attraction is great, we'll recommend it. If it's not, we'll let you know why.

We really do love travelling and sight-seeing and would like to share our thoughts and experience with everyone out there.
