Forget those cookie-cutter travel leaflets… read this book instead!
From spotting lumbering greenback turtles in the postcard-perfect Perhentians, to being scared stiff by a Japanese goddess in seductive Lang Tengah, to getting acquainted with a cheeky kitten-raping monkey in mythical Langkawi, to finding Nemo and his dad in dazzling Selingan… exotic Malaysian islands present an assortment of mind-blowing experience for the diver, snorkeler, sunbather and beachcomber – from the good, to the bad and to the finest.
Knee-slapping, heart-warming and occasionally hair-raising (think lunatic bus drivers, ghosts and snakes), this collection of 30 absolutely dripping-with-local-color tales, as narrated by adventurers who have been there and seen it all, is bound to pack a wallop to the reader’s imagination.

"We deserve the truth"
I have visited quite a few islands in Malaysia and my choice of resorts had always been the result of word-of-mouth, which often comes to me in bits and pieces. This guide is valuable to me for two simple reasons: the book speaks from true experience without hype and misleading facts; it also allows me to choose the best island destinations, which my family and I deserve.
"Stereotype-free travel guide"
Want to know more folk tales of Malaysia? This is definitely the book you need. Although I am born a Malaysian, I am ashamed to say that I have not heard of half the stories that has been compiled here. The contributors did a great job as well - the stories are narrated in such a way that you actually see the islands through their eyes. Hope you enjoy the book as much as I have.

But what I can tell you for sure is that this book WILL make you want to go to Malaysia to see if the writers are telling the truth.
