My dear friend and intrepid traveler,

After much planning, I have prepared a new and exciting challenge for you. Called Around the World in 80 Caches!, it requires patience, ingenuity, and the ability to handle the unexpected. In this journey, you will be venturing into several countries, 80 in all, in search of concealed artifacts. The countries will lead you to continents, and the continents will lead you to the ultimate prize, hereafter known as "The World." Based on your experience and past adventures, I am confident you will succeed. As always, travel safe and be sure to document your findings. I look forward to hearing all about your grand expedition.

Your great admirer,

IMPORTANT NOTE: Information in this cache will help you solve Asia: ATW80 (GC1MGA9), a puzzle cache tied to the related countries.


Malaysia borders Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, Brunei and the Philippines. The country is located near the equator and experiences a tropical climate. Malaysia as a unified state did not exist until 1963.

Malaysia has a biodiverse range of flora and fauna, and is also considered one of the 17 most Megadiverse countries in the world.

Malaysia is one of the top exporters of natural rubber and palm oil, which together with sawn logs and sawn timber, cocoa, pepper, pineapple and tobacco dominate the growth of the sector.

In the 1970s, Malaysia began to imitate the four Asian Tiger economies (Taiwan, South Korea, Hong Kong and Singapore) and committed itself to a transition from being reliant on mining and agriculture to an economy that depends more on manufacturing. Between the 1980s and the mid-1990s, Malaysia experienced significant economic growth. The period saw a shift from an agriculture-based economy to one based on manufacturing and industry in areas such as computers and consumer electronics.

Although the Malaysian constitution theoretically guarantees religious freedom, in practice the situation is restricted. Additionally, all non-Muslims who marry a Muslim must renounce their religion and convert to Islam.

In the cache you'll find some trade swag and some Malaysia related theme items. Please leave the theme items in the cache for others to enjoy:
- One Malaysia Ringgit
- One fine piece of consumer electronics manufactured in Malaysia.
- Genuine fake Rolex watch bought in the streets of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
- The Malaysia National Flag
- Sea shells from the shores of Melaka, Malaysia
