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 |
|

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.
