We are heading to Malaysia for a holiday. We have been before and really enjoyed it. We stayed at Sunway Beach Lagoon and the kids had a ball.
This time we are going to stay in KL for a short while (The Renaissance) then the Mines Resort for 3 nights.
Can anyone give me any further info on this resort. It looks great on the internet.
Many thanks.

Qatar has a pleasant winter. The temperature may drop down 7deg.C at night during the winter but the afternoon balanced out with hot sun makes the afternoon pleasant indeed. But now in May, the temperature is rising. The season is changing again. Winter is out, spring is here. Flowers continue blooming. Tomatoes ripening. 26deg.C in the morning and temperature rises to 42deg.C at noon. Cumulus Nimbus in the sky, occasional thunder storm, humidity rising. It almost reminds you of Malaysia. Until of course the sandstorm hits you. It is windy out there at the moment. Occasionally you can hear the hailing wind. I can hear some of the plastic bottles flying around. I looked outside the window, the sky has lost it blue and it seems that the whole world is changing to orange. Sandstorm is brewing out there. A very common phenomenon in the Middle East. It is called Shamal. Shamal is an Arabic word literally means north. Essentially, the Shamal is an event which occurs as a result of the Arabian Gulf being influenced by a part of the Monsoon circulation where the heat low over Pakistan and Afghanistan forms a secondary low pressure center to the south of the Zagros Mountains in Iran. The different pressures finally create an enhancement of the winds over the Arabian Gulf. They are often driven by fierce northwest wind from Iraq and the Persian gulf. These winds scour the dust and sand off the surface and loft it into the air and carry it wherever it goes. It may set in suddenly at any time, and generally lasts from one to five days, dying down at night and freshening again by day; however, in May to early July it continues almost without cessation. When you are outside walking in the wind, it is hot and dry and rusty. You can't really see the sand. It is very fine. But your lashes, your face and your hands will get dusty. Sometimes it is hard to breathe too. I coughed the first time I walked through it. Unfortunately this might trigger asthma and lung problem if you don't have it already. At certain places, you can't see anything. Like driving through haze. There is also orange tint at certain areas. So dense is the sand. The dust will also creep into your house adding extra household chore. Sandstorm enveloped Qatar last 2nd March 2007. Temperature in Qatar will continue to increase in Summer and can reach up to 50 deg.C.

Kawe in Doha

One of my favourite place to go. Until recently they start catering tourists from the middle east. The hotel we used to go in Kuala Lumpur (New World Hotel) took the pork from breakfast table. When my husband ask, they said they concentrate to middle east tourists now.

Been to Tioman, Genting, Cameron Highland, KL (loads of times), Penang Island and Melaka.

Next time we want to go to Langkawi.

Favourite food from Malaysia is Penang Laksa and Nasi Lemak :-) Now i am hungry :-(

Yes, if some of you visit Malaysia, please take your time to visit :

1. KLCC Area
2. Berjaya Times Square
3. Midvalley City
4. Mines Wonderland
5. Sunway Lagoon & Sunway Pyramid
6. Putra Jaya Alamanda
7. Genting Highland

If you want to taste a beach..

This Lake is almost 1/2 of Qatar.

Enjoy lah Malaysia.

What's the best time to visit malaysia.

What would be the weather-like in Dec / Jan...Too much rain.?

Cheers,

i Missed Malaysia the last time i went on a trip. went to thailand and singapore, fitting malaysia into the schedule seemed too much, so Malaysia is on the travel agenda.

yup do tell us when is the best time to visit malaysia?

happy heart
DRIVE SAFE,someone is waiting for you at home

It's always raining, but it's not bad. It's a good break from Qatar's heat, especially Genting Highlands,at a point we had to wear jackets over there.

Yes, Malaysia can be visited in every time, but for the east coast area, please refrain to visit during DEC to JAN.. it a heavy rain season and sometime flood.

Others area is always cheering at the time.

3 Major City which recommended are :

1. Penang
2. Kuala Lumpur
3. Melaka.

Dont forget to bring a big size memory card to your digikamera and shoot.

Hey I'm intersted in buying property there as well... any one has any information on that please pass it on.

Just wanted to know a few more things abt Malaysia- How is the cost of living compared to that of Qatar?

If I were to look for an IT job there would I get paid more than Qatar? More than India?

I went there for my honeymoon and absolutely loved the place. I think some day I want to settle in Malaysia.

I dream of a better tomorrow where Chickens can cross the Road without having their motives questioned - Unknown

Cost of living in Malaysia is certainly cheaper than Qatar. At least the traffic fines and rents are affordable although it doesn't mean traffic offences can be committed more often than in Qatar! I am not from the IT industry but I think salaries here are higher than in Malaysia. Then again, you'd have to compare the cost of living too. With the IT industry in Bangalore and other cities in India booming right now, I wouldn't be surprised if India too pays top dollars to attract Indians back to the country.
Yes, Malaysia is a lovely country for a honeymoon and is worth considering for retirement.

Thanks a lot for the info novi n orange.

Qatar airways is terrible! We will never use them again. We took a Qatar/KL flight in December 2006, as food was about to served the plane hit some bad turbulence and lost height dramatically. An older muslim lady at the rear of the plane (just behind us) started panicking and praying loudly, the stewardess's abandonded their food trolleys and two of them crouched down in the aisles. The whole plane was shaking quite violently and I really thought we were going down, this continued for 30 to 45 minutes and during this time there was no reassurance at all from the flight crew. Eventually we levelled out and the shaking stopped, but later on in the flight we experienced the same thing for 3 or 4 short periods. We eventually landed safely at KL, and I can tell you we were never so glad to have our feet on solid ground again! So 'bye 'bye Qatar Airways, we don't want to go near another of your flights ever again...

turbulence happens everytime, its really scary. Its not bcos of Qatar Airways...everyone who has flown that route has experienced it

Ummmm.. which post where? Bro smoking weed is illegal and bad for your brain.

Hi,
I have been working as a banker having specialization in corporate banking in Malaysia. I have been offered a job in Qatar for a RM position with a salary of approximately QR 21K of which QR13.5 will be for base salary and the remaining for my transport & housing allowances. I want to know will this amount be sufficent as I was informed 30% of ur salary allocated for ur accomodation. Not sure the remaining amount will ensure u to live comfortably and make any savings part of my salary. Will this amount be sufficient for me?
I want to know about living expenses in Qatar as of now.

Thanks.
