Q. Can you describe your hometown/ village?
A. Sure. As I already said, I come from Johor Bahru, which is the second largest city in Malaysia with more than four hundred thousand population. This is a beautiful city with lots of tourist attractions and many Indonesian tourists love to shop here because of the variety of shopping items and cheap prices. The city was also once known as Little Swatow (Shantou) by the Chinese community. As this is the capital city of Johor, it plays a very important role in the economic welfare of the population of the entire state.

Johor Bahru features an equatorial climate with consistent temperatures, a considerable amount of rain and high humidity throughout the year. Malay is the main language in our city and the Chinese community prefers different dialects. Johor Bahru is one of the fastest-growing cities in our country and its specific location is one of the main reasons it became the main industrial and commercial centre for Johor.

I love the lively streets and diverse culture of our city and I am sure a tourist would find a plenty of things to do and numerous places to visit in my city.

Q. Are there any new hobbies that you would like to take up? Why?
A. Yes, definitely. If time allows I would like to start learning how to play golf. This is a game that interests me a lot but I have never played it except in video games. I love to watch this game on TV and I feel very passionate about playing it. My uncle and father often play it and I went to the Golf course many times in my childhood. I am already 24 years old and I think I will learn to play this game very soon.
