MEDICALTOURISM Medical tourism The term refers to people travelling to a different country to obtain medical treatment. Historically, those from less-developed countries travel to high developed countries to seek medical treatment. People with rare diseases or conditions may travel to countries where the treatment is better understood and require advanced technology in medical facilities. There are certain specialists who are very much sought after in Malaysia. This depends on how well our medical practitioners perform treatments. The higher their success rates, the better chance we have on medical tourism.

ENDLIM Malaysian Games & Past-time Experience the Expressions of Community Malaysians' strong sense of community is reflected in many of their traditional games and pastimes. These activities are still played by local children on cool afternoons and are also a communal activity during festivities such as before or after the rice harvest season and weddings.  Silat This fascinating Malay martial arts is also an international sport and traditional dance. Existing in the Malay Archipelago for centuries, it has mesmerizing fluid movements that are used to dazzle opponents. It is believed that practicing silat will increase one's spiritual strength in according to Islamic tenets. Accompanied by drums and gongs, this ancient art is popularly performed at Malay weddings and cultural festivals.  Sepak Takraw Also known as sepak raga, it is a traditional ball game in which a ball, made of weaving by strips of buluh or bamboo, is passed about using any part of the body except the lower arms and hands. There are two main types of sepak takraw: bulatan (circle) and jaring (net). Sepak raga bulatan is the original form in which players form a circle and try to keep the ball in the air for as long as possible. Sepak takraw jaring is the modern version in which the ball is passed across a court over a high net.  122

Wau ENDLIM A wau is a traditional kite that is especially popular in the state of Kelantan, on the East Coast of Malaysia. Traditionally flown after the rice harvest season, these giant kites are often as big as a man - measuring about 3.5 metres from head to tail. It is called wau because its shape is similar to the Arabic letter that is pronounced as 'wow'. With vibrant colours and patterns based on local flora and fauna, these kites are truly splendid sights. Gasing A gasing is a giant spinning top that weighs approximately 5kg or 10lbs and may be as large as a dinner plate. Traditionally played before the rice harvest season, this game requires strength, co- ordination and skill. The top is set spinning by unfurling a rope that has been wound around it. Then it is scooped off the ground, whilst still spinning, using a wooden bat with a centre slit and transferred onto a low post with a metal receptacle. If expertly hurled, it can spin for up to 2 hours.  Wayang Kulit Wayang kulit is a traditional theatre form that brings together the playfulness of a puppet show, and the elusive quality and charming simplicity of a shadow play. The flat two-dimensional puppets are intricately carved, then painted by hand. It is either made of cow or buffalo hide. Each puppet, a stylized exaggeration of the human shape, is given a distinctive appearance unlike its string puppet cousins that has jointed \"arms\". Conducted by a singular master storyteller called Tok Dalang, wayang kulit usually dramatizes ancient Indian epics.  Congkak Congkak is a game of mathematics played by womenfolk in ancient times that only requires dug out holes in the earth and tamarind seeds. Today, it is an oval solid wood block with two rows of five, seven, or nine holes and two large holes at both ends called \"home\". Congkak is played with shells, marbles, pebbles or tamarind seeds, requires two players.  Sepak Manggis Sepak manggis is a unique outdoor game played by the Bajau and Iranun men of Sabah. Forming a circle and facing each other, players aim to strike the bunga manggis floral carrier that dangles from a 10-metre high pole. The winner will be rewarded with money, gifts or edibles, which are in the carrier. 123
