There is a cave where they harvest bird’s nests.
The Gomantong Caves in the Sabah state are one of the most well-known places where edible bird’s nests are harvested. They are used in soups pretty often. Swiftlets make nests from their saliva. During the cooking process, the nests dissolve and create a gelatinous texture for the soup. Nests can be black (with impurities) and white (clean).
In the 1990s, the production of bird’s nests became an industry, so they began to build special structures like multi-story buildings for swiftlets. But in the Gomantong Caves, this delicacy is still harvested in the traditional way. 2 times a year, only after the young abandon the nest, licensed collectors with rattan ladders and bamboo poles come to the caves to carry out the harvest.

Serene,
it is its own country so stfu about "womens rights" sh#t when you havent been there. lived there for ten years and you made a stupid judgement based off of a poorly put together picdump on a country on which it was heavily focused on the muslim aspect of life. there are thai, malaysian, japanese, korean and many other nationalities that live there... you are a f@#ked up person for basing others lives on your standards. Again, stfu.

Malaysian here, most of the facts are more diversed of culture some of it are based on written from old tradition, mind you old tradition is different with Religion, so learn history first before you type what comes into your mind.certain words maybe used incorectly because it is not my native language, visit Malaysia first and decide which part of you think is right or wrong.

It's my favourite country as all the people are so friendly and helpful. Many times I would go to pay the bill in a restaurant and find that a family has already paid it and left without saying a word to me. The people make a country and the Malays should be proud of their wonderful country.

17 I’ve been to these caves, they smell like nothing else. And floors are black with guano which appears to move = crabs and other animals live in it. It’s fascinating and gross all at once!
