- An imposing and yet incongruous unfinished building can be seen from afar... rising bizarrely out of a Malaysian tropical forest, within a vast palm oil estate. "Kellie's Castle", as it is known locally, was named after its owner, a colonial Scottish planter - William Kellie Smith, who is said to have designed and constructed this styled manor house for his beloved wife Agnes... thereby creating a pocket of Victorian Scotland in the rich British colony of Malaya in the early 20th century. Kellie's Castle is as misunderstood, as it is enigmatic. Its history is distorted by rumour, speculation and folklore, causing its walls and corridors to be shrouded in mystery, and its passageways, believed by many, to be haunted by the colonial master himself. Let Enigmatic Malaysia take you on a journey back in time... to that of one man's dream... his aspirations... frustrations and untimely death. A tale of ambition and devotion in the remarkable story of William Kellie Smith and his castle - a structure that remains a Malaysian enigma in the world of today.

- 500 years ago, the Portuguese Viceroy of India, Alfonso D' Albuquerque, led an armada of 19 war ships with 800 Portuguese soldiers, destined for the ancient port city of Melaka. However this premeditated attack on Melaka to avenge the ill-treatment of a former mission was merely a front, with the ultimate mission being to capture Melaka, and gain control of the Eastern Spice Trade. After the successful conquest, Albuquerque immediately ordered the building of a fortress to defend the city and its lucrative spice trade from his arch enemies - the Dutch. Today's Melakan Portuguese are descendants of 600 Portuguese soldiers who survived and were encouraged to assimilate with the locals, yet maintaining their unique identity. The fall of the respectably famed Melakan Empire into the hands of the foreign colonist is a historical enigma that is said to have had a strong influence in shaping today's Malay civilisation. Enduring the numerous invasions from the Dutch, British and Japanese this community is an interesting phenomenon that still maintains its strong roots and yet has no desire to return to their native land. Enigmatic Malaysia allows you to experience the rich cultural heritage of the Malaysian Melakan Portuguese community... their propensity to survive and propagate their language, tradition, religion and arts.
- Batik is a vibrant art form that is firmly entrenched in Malaysia. Today it can be found in both its traditional and contemporary forms, popular amongst locals and tourists alike... and it is fast gaining popularity in the international arena. But just where did Malaysian batik originate from? The origins of batik are a mystery. While the countries in the Nusantara claim that batik originated from there, other countries in the world have also been practising this art form. But wherever its origins, over the years this craft has developed its own particular aesthetic design, peculiar to Malaysia... with motifs that tend to favour free-hand geometric and plant designs. Enigmatic Malaysia will take you on a journey of the perhaps murky history of batik, from its possible origins to where it stands today... the batik making process... batik as an art... and finally, batik in the limelght.

- The Malaysian "Wau" or kites can be found in all shapes and colours, with their bamboo frames brightly decorated by intricate floral cutouts and designs pasted on shimmering paper in a multitude of vibrant colours. A bow-shaped device attached to the neck that emanates a pleasant, high-pitched humming sound when it soars the skies further enhances the eye-catching wau. Wau-making is an ancient art form, and one that is traditionally passed down from father to son. Traditionally, wau flying was especially popular in the east coast states of Peninsular Malaysia, namely Kelantan and Terengganu, where it was commonly flown at the end of harvesting season. Today, the cultural heritage of the Malaysian "Wau" is preserved, as it has become a popular sporting activity amongst the Malay community. Come join us in Enigmatic Malaysia and follow the life of three Wau makers as they prepare for the International Kite Festival in Tumpat Kelantan.
