Abstract
Malaysia is a country that proclaimed their independence after
the end of World War 2. At the beginning of their independence,
Malaysia was originally a country that relied on natural resources
as it’s main commodity . But due to the decline in the price of
these commodities in the 1970s, Malaysia began to look at
other commodities as a favorite commodity. Along with
Malaysia's desire to become an advanced industrialized
country in 2020 and the advancement of tourism as a nation
commodity, Malaysia has decided to register as a MotoGP
host country. This study aims to determine the extent of the role
of organizing MotoGP as a media in Malaysian cultural
diplomacy. The research method used in this study is a
qualitative descriptive method with the library research
techniques, specifically by collecting, studying, and analyzing
data taken from published and unpublished official documents,
books, articles, newspapers, magazines , internet, and various
other media.
