14 February 2004
For a weekend break from the hectic pace of Kuala Lumpur, representatives of Equator Prize 2004 finalist communities and other community delegates travelled to the Malaysian countryside. While visiting the traditional settlement of Kampung Endah, community members from around the world were able to gain a taste of local culture and experience the natural history of the Malay Peninsula.
