    Company in a snap shot

Most of them are either students studying in Malaysian universities or young people coming to immigrate to developed counties .On the other hand, according to a mutual agreement, both countrys citizens no need to request for Visa in origin country. Hence, many Iranian families can easily travel to Malaysia to visit their family members temporary/permanently living in Malaysia. And they want to be entertained during their journey.
