Malaysia Pavilion

Malaysia’s low tech pavilion showcases rural building with Minangkabau’s “Rumah Gadang” architecture. After the Expo, the pavilion is to be donated to the county of Wuxi in the People’s Republic of China. Controversies have perhaps ensued as the pavilion boasts a miniature indoor golf course which has nothing to do with Malaysian culture as well as the Minangkabau’s building style which originates from Indonesia.

Many locals are not very proud of the designs as they see it as backward-looking instead of embracing the future when the rest of the world is doing so.

The Malaysia Minister of Tourism is seen by some as having given up on showcasing Malaysian technology as she said although Malaysia could not compete with developed countries like Germany and Switzerland in terms of technology, Malaysia had its uniquity of being multi-racial and multi-cultural.
