So if you are looking for a holiday within the country, here are some film locations that may capture your fancy.
Crazy Rich Asians may have been based in Singapore, but the 2018 film adaptation was filmed in Malaysia with many of the movie’s crucial scenes were shot throughout the country.
This scene plays a significant role in the movie as it is when Rachel finally stands up to Eleanor. The building served as the ideal backdrop, complementing the emotional intensity of the scene.
Merdeka 118 @ Kuala Lumpur
From the trailer itself, fans will notice shots of the Menara HSBC South Tower in Lebuh Ampang exploding while Pugh’s character casually strolls away. Merdeka 118 is also said to make an appearance. Last June, Pugh alluded to filming a scene at the building in an interview.
The Merdeka 118 stands at 678.9m tall, coming in second after Dubai’s Burj Khalifa at 828m.
While the 1999 movie Anna and the King was based on the late King Mongkut of Thailand, it was mostly filmed in Malaysia with Kellie’s Castle in Ipoh hosting the cast.
As such, production was prohibited from proceeding in Thailand. Penang, Ipoh and Langkawi instead had the privilege of hosting the cast. Kellie’s Castle in Ipoh was among them.
Batu Caves @ Selangor
The principal photography mainly took place at Batu Caves, where Rajinikanth shot several of the film’s action sequences there. This brought significant attention to Malaysian locations and it resulted in a collaboration between Tourism Malaysia and AirTravel Enterprises India Limited (ATE), coming up with a travel package to attract Indian tourists to Malaysia.
For RM1,500 per person, Indian nationals could visit all the featured locations throughout their four-day and three-night stay.
About 80% of Jay Chou’s 2012 action film The Viral Factor was shot in various locations in Kuala Lumpur. Director Dante Lam reportedly spent over RM70,000 on apartment rentals to ensure the cast was comfortable during their time here.
The mall’s parking entrance can be seen in one of the film’s action sequences, as a car is blown upside down in front of the entrance.
Thanks to the 2000 Hong Kong drama film Summer Holiday, More More Tea Inn has become a popular tourist attraction in Redang Island in Terengganu.
Commonly known as mo mo cha, the bright-coloured building was initially built as a temporary set for the movie. Actress Sammi Cheng and actor Richie Ren shot their scenes there. The building, however, deteriorated quickly once filming was wrapped. This is because it was unable to withstand the harsh weather at the island. Fortunately, in 2003, it was restored by Laguna Redang Island Resort to its former glory. These days, it serves as a souvenir and snack shop, which is frequented by tourists, particularly by those who have seen the movie.
