Genting SkyWorld, Southeast Asia’s most anticipated outdoor theme park is finally open, while Penang has been listed on CNN’s Best Travel Destinations in 2022,” said Dr. Anil Jeet Singh Sandhu.

“A once-in-a-generation transformation, Sunway Resort in Kuala Lumpur is also ready to welcome you with cutting-edge technology, and we have Malaysia’s latest premium beach destination- Desaru Coast which was named one of the World’s Greatest Places of 2021 by TIME Magazine along with other new attractions that await you,” he added.
