But there exists a fascinating juxtaposition: one of the fastest-developing nations is driven by some of the most easy-going and hospitable hearts. Set against the backdrop of the Hari Raya and Deepavali festivities, The Gateway is an exclusive backstage pass to Malaysia's multicultural social landscape, one that embraces tradition and modernity with endearing charm.

Denise encounters the wildlife of Borneo, where the Kinabatangan's banks teem with Proboscis monkeys, elephants and rhinos, before plunging into a white-water rafting expedition.

Jamie goes on a journey from the deep forests to the idyllic lakes and coastlines of Malaysia's East Coast to uncover the inspirations behind this bastion of traditional Malay culture.

This is a journey made special by artisans, craftsmen, jungle guides and fishermen, who show how the detail and precision that goes into culture and craft is what secures a lasting identity.
