General information about Malaysia

Malaysia has a population of about 22 million. It is a multi-racial country whose social integration has become a model for the rest of the world. Almost 80% of the total population occupy the Peninsular. There are three main races in the country. The Malays, who are Muslims, form the majority in the country. The other two main racial groups are the Chinese, who are mostly Buddhists and the Indians, who are mainly Hindus. In terms of dressing, most Malaysians, regardless of their race, wear Western clothes. However, during special occasions and festivals, many will don traditional costumes complete with their elaborate accessories.

 

The lifestyle here is progressively becoming more modern with great exposure to the western culture. Many Malaysian youngsters do enjoy their night-outings to discos and bars, be it weekdays or weekends. And the scene may not be very much different from that of nightspots in other countries.

 

Present generation of Malaysia are well-oiled for a corporate lifestyle. In Kuala Lumpur especially, road traffic, work ethics and common ambitions are similar to most advanced countries.

 

But it is interesting to note the communicative easiness between contemporary and the devout Malaysian youths. It is a common sight in Malaysia to find girls whose hair and upper torsos are covered. This piece of head covering is called tudung in the Malay Language, literally meaning, "to cover". This is compulsory for Muslim women, but with a democratic government, they are given the freedom of choice.

 
Malaysian Economy

Malaysia is a leading producer and exporter of semi-conductors, audio-visual products, air-conditioners, rubber-dipped products, and oleo-chemicals. It is also one of the largest producers of rubber, tin, timber, pepper, and petroleum in the world.

 

Today, Malaysia spearheads the Information Age by promoting Information technology aggressively. It has embarked on telemarketing, on-line Information services, electronic commerce and digital broadcasting through the Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) vision. The MSC is set to propel Malaysia as the centre of excellence for multimedia industries of the future.

 
Food & Accommodation

Malaysia is a food paradise with a great variety of foods ranging from Malay, Chinese, and Indian to Western Cuisine. There are also International fast-food chains operating side by side with thousands of roadside stalls and food bazaars. Accommodation such as college hostels, apartments, residential houses and condominiums, is readily available at affordable rates.
