Since then, Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei have been united in their economic dominance of Southeast Asia. While the tiny Sultanate of Brunei is locked into a paternalistic regime, using its considerable oil wealth to guarantee its citizens an enviable standard of living, the city-state of Singapore has long been a model of free-market profiteering, transformed from a tiny port with no natural resources into one of the world's capitalist giants. Malaysia is the relative newcomer to the scene, though it has an ambitious manifesto by which it aims to achieve First World status by 2020. This will involve doubling the size of the economy and increasing personal income fourfold by that time, with tourism massively expanding in the process. The most ambitious part of this project is the building of the Multimedia Super Corridor, a belt of hi-tech development stretching 50km south from the capital Kuala Lumpur, and including a new, purportedly paperless, administrative city, Putrajaya.

Though Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei don't have the grand ancient ruins of neighbouring Thailand, their rich cultural heritage is apparent, with traditional architecture and crafts thriving in the rural kampung (village) areas, and on display in cultural centres and at exhibitions throughout the modern cities. The dominant cultural force in the region has undoubtedly been the Malay adoption of Islam in the fourteenth century, while in Singapore, Buddhism and Taoism together hold sway among half the population. But it's the commitment to religious plurality - there are sizeable Christian and Hindu minorities - that is so attractive, often providing startling juxtapositions of mosques, temples and churches. What's more, the region's diverse population, a blend of indigenous Malays, Chinese and Indians, has spawned a huge variety of annual festivals as well as a wonderful mixture of cuisines.

As well as a rich cultural life, the region has astonishing natural beauty. With parts of Thailand starting to suffer from overexposure to tourism, it comes as a welcome surprise to discover Peninsular Malaysia's unspoiled east-coast beaches, while both the Peninsula and the Bornean states have some of the world's oldest tropical rainforest. The national parks are superb for cave exploration, river-rafting and wildlife-watching, and provide challenging treks, including that to the peak of one of Southeast Asia's highest mountains, Mount Kinabalu in Sabah.

2007 Kiriyama Prize "Notable Book".

The island of Borneo is a place of great natural beauty and rich biodiversity. From the peaks of the majestic Mount Kinabalu to the enchanting coral-fringed islands that lie offshore, with vast tracts of lush rainforest in between, Borneo's landscape is as varied as it is magnificent. In Wild Borneo, author Nick Garbutt embarks upon a fascinating investigation into the wonders of this island, exploring every aspect of Borneo's terrain, from its rainforest-covered lowland areas to its mountain ranges, highland areas, and winding rivers. He shows us the profusion of flora and fauna living within these habitats, including the enormous Rafflesia flower, the carnivorous Pitcher plants, snakes, frogs and lizards that fly, fish that walk on mud, and rich and varied bird life. The island is home to a diversity of mammal species, some of which are highly unusual, including the outrageous-looking Proboscis Monkey, the remarkably tolerant Bornean Pygmy Elephant, the diminutive and shaggy Sumatran Rhinoceros, the native Bornean Orang-utan, and the doe-eyed, endearing Slow Loris.

Published in association with the World Wildlife Fund for Nature, Wild Borneo also examines the ongoing attempts to preserve the island's natural resources in the face of commercial logging and large-scale land clearing. Illustrated with more than 200 stunning photographs, this book offers a vivid celebration of Borneo's many natural wonders.
