With Royal Floria Putrajaya just two months away, this is an ideal learning platform and also gives us an opportunity to tell Australians about our Flower and Garden Festival which is into its ninth edition. As a tropical country, Malaysia is predominantly green and has a valuable forest heritage and wildlife that is interpreted via this exhibit."
