Malaysian Culture

Malaysia is a country that is known for its rich and cultural heritage. People here strongly believe in respecting each other’s culture, race and religion. In the country of Malaysia one can find a good mix of Malay, Chinese and even Indian in the communities.

The Malay people of Malaysia cover more than half of the population here and they are about 62 percent in the community. As for the laws of the Malaysian Constitution, all the Malays are basically Muslims and one can get a good glimpse of the traditional Malay culture in the village areas.

The Malaysian culture also includes the Chinese. When the Chinese were here some of them have married the Malays where the males were to be called as the babas and the females were known as the nyonyas. The Chinese therefore are the second largest group here in Malaysia and are about 24 percent in total of the community. 

The Indians are the third largest group of people in the society of the Malaysian cultures. Thus we can now see how a part of the culture here in Malaysia of different races have been formed. Here in Malaysia unity and diversity can be seen in the celebration of various types of festivals by all different races. This forms to be at least 8 percent of the total population here in Malaysia. 

We have many cultures here in Malaysia and everyone lives in harmony here. Now Malaysia have reached its 53^rd independence day this year of 2010. The independence day was celebrated at the stadium of Bukit Jalil on 31/08/2010.
