The story of Peninsular Malaysia is painted large in the historic cities of Kuala Lumpur (KL), Melaka and Penang. Many of the pivotal events in Malaysian history - the first Chinese settlements, the rise of the Melaka sultans, the arrival of the British, the declaration of Malaysian independence in 1957-took place in these three fascinating cities.
