MALAYSIA
This is the Porta de Santiago, the only remnant of the A'Famosa, once the mighty fortress of the Portuguese.

MALAYSIA
This is the Prime Minister's Office Complex (Perdana Putra, domed building in the back) and the Putra Mosque, two of the most significant landmarks in Putrajaya. The lake, Putrajaya Lake, is human-made.
Thanks dybb for the card (MY-67161).

MALAYSIA
The first card is a picture of a Putra Mosque in Putrajaya, the administrative capital of Malaysia. The seat of government was shifted in 1999 from Kuala Lumpur due to the overcrowding and congestion there. Nevertheless, Kuala Lumpur remains Malaysia's national capital. The Putra Mosque showcases a main dome that is 36-meters in diameter. The Five Pillars of Islam are represented by its five-tiered minaret rising 116 meters high.
The sender must have forgotten he sent me a card because I got another a week later. The second is of Penang UNESCO World Hertiage site. It is the inner part of the city of Georgetown in Malaysia.
Thanks for the great card (MY-61170).

MALAYSIA
This postcard is from Terengganu, Malaysia. The photos of the area look beautiful. Terengganu is well-known for its wood carving crafts and yacht-making. Malay is the main language; English the second. Lynn included these Malay translations for me:
Apa khabar - How are you?
Khabar baik - I'm fine.
Terima kasih - Thank you
Sama Sama - You're welcome
Jumpa lagi - See you again.
Thanks Rozlinda for the card (MY-50387)
