And that’s what makes our nation home to the most colourful and enchanting cultures in the region 🙌🏻
This year, our nation takes centre stage as we become the proud host of Visit Malaysia 2026 - welcoming travellers far and wide into our one big family. So let’s commemorate the moment with RENTAK MALAYSIA, our exclusive Malaysia Tourism Year artwork, featuring the colours, sights and sounds of the place we call home.
MANY CULTURES, ONE Rhythm
Just like it's name, RENTAK MALAYSIA highlights the everyday rhythm of what it’s like living in the country through a playful visual approach with lots of #IYKYK moments 😏 A lively, cheeky and fun-filled design, packed with moments only true Malaysians would understand. Jom! Let’s take a closer look at these little moments (and see which references you get)
always egg’cellent weather
Living in the tropics gives you good weather almost all year round - the only exception is the Southwest Monsoon season when it’s so hot, you can cook an egg outside!
better together
The hot to your cold, the yin to your yang, the durian to your mangosteen 😍 Some pairs just go so well together because they balance each other out, especially when their seasons overlap.
rm1 happiness
“Uncle, wait! Uncle!” - Only real ones remember what it’s like chasing after the ice cream man 😭 Packeted ice cream is good, but nothing beats a colourful scoop of happiness - always with its own unique flavour mix.
bet you did nasi that coming
A national treasure fr. Rich, creamy coconut rice with a fiery sambal kick - the nasi lemak brings Malaysians together, especially when kena claim by other people, hmm 🫢
‘buaya’ memandu secara berbahaya
Petrol cars, EVs, kapcai or buaya? Our favourite mode of transport comes with a V-cute engine 😉 But beware! There’s ‘mata’ everywhere - they might just saman you if you go over the speed limit.
wok hey all the way
You know food’s gonna be LIT the moment you see flames like that 🔥🔥🔥 Psst, ‘wok hey’ literally means ‘breath of the wok’ - do you think Tanjiro would have mastered it?
no tarik, not menarik
Caffè lattes are great, but nothing beats a comforting cup of kopi tarik! Smooth and creamy with a thick, frothy top - it’s the perfect pick-me-up whether you’re starting your day or trying to get through one.
what's your wifi password?
Was it THREE or TREE? 🤔 They say the signal gets stronger the higher you go. Our personal fav - the Meranti tree ‘cause it makes a great WiFi peranti 😏
summon the rain
But of course, when it’s a little too hot - we can always rely on our Pak Bomoh to help us make it rain 🌧️ with his magical fruits!
beauty comes in all shapes & smells
Two queens, one iconic feat. The Hibiscus and the Rafflesia are polar opposite botanical wonders, yet everyone wants a piece of them - especially when they’re on our bank notes 💰
