Begin your “Malaysian Journey With Jason Scott Lee”

National Geographic Channel (NGC) has again been selected as a platform to help Malaysia Tourism Promotion Board (MTPB) promote Malaysia as a top travel destination in Asia. Five years after the first installment of the eco-travel documentary, "Malaysian Journey," MTPB has signed up for another installment which will focus on the country's rainforests.

The new installment titled "Malaysian Journey: Rainforest" will be presented by Hollywood star and martial artist Jason Scott Lee, and will start airing on April 21 on NGC's global network.

This year's installment of "Malaysian Journey" will focus primarily on Malaysia's famous rainforest regions. "Hutan", a one-hour special, will feature the Kuala Gandah Elephant Sanctuary, Taman Negara National Park, Tasik Kenyir Lake, Kuching, Gunung Mulu National Park and the Bornean Sun Bear Conversation Center in Sabah.

"Malaysia's flora and fauna is mesmerizing," said Lee. "I'm honored and thankful to National Geographic Channel for selecting me again for this second installment of 'Malaysian Journey'. Viewers around the world will be able to see the beauty that Malaysia has to offer and the hospitality of the people from this country."

Lee, who is keenly remembered for his lead role in "Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story", is a fervent environmentalist and conservationist. He shunned the lights of Hollywood and now resides on a 25-acre taro farm in Hawaii. There, he lives out his environmental beliefs of responsible farming and eating what he grows.

The new installment titled "Malaysian Journey: Rainforest" will be presented by Hollywood star and martial artist Jason Scott Lee, and will start airing on April 21 on NGC's global network.
