ALTHOUGH blessed with superb highways and roads, peninsular Malaysia remains relatively undiscovered by many foreign tourists simply because there are no daily intercity bus tours.
As there is much to see and enjoy in these eight wondrous destinations that can be covered clockwise or anticlockwise, the ideal arrangement for the more affluent tourists is to rent a car for two to three weeks and stay two or three days in each city. Tourists on motoring holidays certainly deserve the red-carpet welcome as they spread tourist dollars wherever they go. In contrast, tourists on zero tour fare packages spend most of their money on shopping, benefitting only the shops, tour leader, tourist guide and tour agency.
