Exploring Malaysia

Malaysian actress Joanna Bessey anchors this three-part series that will give viewers an insight into the people, sights and tastes of her motherland (‘Malaysia, Truly Asia’, according to its tourism slogan). Like so many developing nations, Malaysia is trying to strike a balance between globalisation and preserving its unique traditions. This is no simple task and over the course of three riveting episodes Bessey will try to understand the direction this country is headed in.
