Something about the country Malaysia
|
|||
|
Today I want to introduce you guys something about Malaysia. It’s all based on my own experience, so might not be that objective. I remember the very first Malaysian I know is an Indian, Malaysian Indian. When I first met him, I didn't ask him where he was from, but rather “are you Indian?” He looked at me in the eyes, hesitated for a moment, then smiled, said “Yes but I’m not from India.” I was quite surprised at that moment. Then he told me he was from Malaysia. He later did a brief introduction about his country. I then got to know that there are three races in Malaysia, Chinese, Malay, and Indian. Most Malaysians are Malay. They look somewhat similar to Indian, I think it’s mainly due to their similar skin colors, but you can still tell the difference immediately.  Chinese and Indians are minorities.   Then what’s their role in Malaysian society? This friend told me that Malays dominate Malaysian politics, and Chinese dominate local economy. When it comes to Indians, he fell into deep thoughts. I somewhat mistook him as Malay (one of my friends is Malay and my mind just went blank at that moment.), saying that “So Indians play no role in local society, but are depressed by Malays and Chinese.” Surprisingly he said yes! I can see Indians are indeed unsatisfied with their social status. Then what about their religions? Most Malays are Muslims, most Chinese are Christians, and most Indians believe in Hindu. As you guys can see, there is a great diversity of religions in Malaysian, almost the same as that in India. What’s different is that there are no major religious conflicts in Malaysia, while in India, religious conflicts kill people. Apart from religion diversities, there is also a significant language diversity in Malaysia. One extreme example is that a Malaysian friend of mine can speak five languages including Malay, Mandarin, Cantonese, English, and Indian. An overwhelming majority of Malaysians can speak at least three languages. Some people might say most people in Canton can also speak Mandarin, English and Cantonese. I just put it like this: Malaysians can use these languages as their home languages, but for us Chinese, we may never say we use English thinking although we indeed can use English to communicate. One more thing here you guys might be interested. Most Malays and Indians don’t use toilet paper, but water and their left hand after pooing. Most Chinese use toilet paper. Hope you guys have a better understanding about this country, and its culture. [ Last edited by Lopemann on 2014-1-2 at 19:09 ] |

Good to see you here discussing about Malaysia, my beloved country. Well, I born in Butterworth, which is my hometown and a state of Penang. According to what your friend said, most Chinese are Christians is not true at all. Technically we can say that most Chinese in Malaysia are buddhist, but of course there are Christians among them. Chinese Christian starts to grow in population recently, especially at the south path of Malaysia (fyi: sabah and sarawak). If you discussing about religions in Malaysia, be sure that you are not criticizing any of the religion because most of the believers will refute you. In bad case they will blame you also. Anyway, discussing about religions isn't that bad, but most of them couldn't accept when the other is holding different kind of view. It's true that most Malays and Indians do not use toilet paper. Another interesting is usually they use a pipe that connected to a tap to wash. |
