Malaysia

Malaysia is well-known for being a multi-ethnic and multicultural country, which has led to a diverse vocabulary as well as connecting many people from all around the world with the people of Malaysia. The Petronas Towers, twin skyscrapers located in the capital Kuala Lumpur, were once the tallest buildings in the world and are still regarded as the tallest ‘twin’ buildings. The currency of Malaysia is called the Ringgit. The word ringgit means “jagged,” the connection being that the jagged edges of Spanish silver dollars that were once used in the region led to the name.
