Halo semua , akan kembali ! 

( Hello everyone , Welcome Back ) 👋😊

Last time remember i took you through the interesting history behind the flag of Malaysia. Now i am back with yrt another interesting peice of information to grab !! 

Did you see the picture above ? What is that ? Yes u guessed it right 👍 . But wait...it's just not a tiger..it is the Malayan Tiger ( the national animal of Malaysia ). 

Today i am going to introduce you all about this Malayan Tiger. Excited isnt it ??😃 

                                              Let's Begin !!! 

You already got to know that Malayan tiger is considered as the national animal of Malaysia. Do you know why the Malaysians wanted this animal to be their national animal. Is there any hidden secret behind it ? Let's discover. So , the significance behind this is that Malayan tiger showcases bravery and strenght to Malaysians. It is also the nickname given to the Malaysian national Football team. 

Wait...it's not just over. I have got something that will blow your mind as well !! 


Here are the interesting facts you have been waiting for !! 


  1. I love swimming. Do you ? Yes , we all love to swim in pools and water bodies. If yes then you  may have got something common with Malaysia's favourite  national animal. Yes ,  the Malayan Tiger are    excellent swimmers. It enjoy playing in shallow water bodies . It swims by keeping it's head up. Arent u shocked ??😃



2. The Malayan tiger will gladly enjoy a carnivorous fare of sambar deer, wild boars, bearded pigs, tapirs, goats, monkeys, rhino calves, and yes , even  elephants. So don’t let your baby elephant roam in the wild in Malaysia.

The Malayan tiger is also known to feed on livestock, which is a big problem for local farmers.



3. Now comes the sad part. Do  u know there, are only 250–340 Malayan tigers left in the world.😞 The tiger has been recognized as an “endangered species”  by IUCN. 



4. It is born blind

Cubs are born with their eyes entirely closed and, therefore, blind. Their eyes typically peek open between 6–12 days after birth, and they gain full sight in 2 weeks. This is not unlike most tiger species.



5. Only 50% of cubs live past 2 years old

Only 2–5 cubs are born every birth, and only half of these will survive past 2 years old.


6. Have you seen a Ninja ?? It can camouflage itself better than a ninja.

Thanks to its black stripes on orange fur, the Malayan tiger is surprisingly adept at blending in with rainforest trees and the edges of streams and rivers.


7. Its greatest threat is human

The Malayan tiger sits at the top of the food chain, so its survival isn’t threatened by dung beetles and cicadas. But it is threatened by human aspirations (commercial development projects, allocation of land for agriculture, habitat fragmentation) and, sometimes, just plain human carelessness.


Okay !! These facts just amazed me... I hope it amazed you as well. We have learnt quite for now. Let's wait for more. Malaysians are really proud to have Malayan tiger as their national animal...

Stay tuned for the next post 😊😉

Sehinga selamat tinggal ( Till then bye ) !!👋

 Welcome To Batu Caves  Guarded by a monumental statue of Hindu deity Lord Murugan, the Batu Caves is a Malaysian national treasure and an incredible day trip from Kuala Lumpur. These limestone caves harbour Hindu temples where dioramas of mythic scenes glow beneath stalactites, bats flutter in the shadows, and monkeys prey on tourists hiking the 272 stairs to Temple Cave. this holy monument incorporates both the stunning features of Malaysia’s limestone mountains and religious sculptures of the Hindu faith. Join us in a little history lesson about this fantastic part of one of Malaysia’s most visited sites. The hollow limestone tower has been around for 400 million years, its caverns, crags and crevices formed in the prehistoric era. Its earliest known recorded homo-sapien inhabitants were the Bersisi, or the Temuan tribe of indigenous people. By the 1860s, when Malaya was flourishing as a developing nation under colonial rule, immigrant Chinese settlers who came to here for work, mad

Hai Semua !! Today while i was sitting under a tree , i just remembered something really exciting. I thought of sharing a small story.  A little girl named Alpha had visited Kerala with her parents for her winter break. She reached Allepey , Kerala.  Alleppey in  Kerala  is a significant point for  boat  trips into  Kerala's  backwaters with numerous  lakes  and canals. The backwaters of Alleppey connect Kumarakom and Kochi in the north; it hosts the snake  boat  race every year. She saw a lot of woods which were kept nearby for  making boats. Her parents told her that it is the teak tree brought from Malaysia. She didnt know what was so special about this tree that it was used for making boats. She went back home and started learning .   So lets also learn something that Alpha had learnt.  A trivial information to grab is here at your doorstep. So scroll down and starting exploring with me .                                                                👇👇 Do you know the name o
