EDITOR'S NOTE: Despite its recent history as a British colony, Malaysia has moved away from universal English-language useage in a big way. Its internet infrastructure is flashy but rather thin and its English-language media presence is surprisingly weak for a nation which, during the 80s, was so highly touted by the western press as one of the most promising of the Asian "Tigers". The reality is that Malaysia is a smallish nation (under 20 million population) which has a few modern urban pockets but is mostly pre-industrial with a laid-back attitude to boot.
