Discuss the plurality of Malaysian society and how its effect on u.
Malaysia is a multicultural country. The society is multiracial with an estimated 53 per cent Malays, 25 per cent Chinese, 11 per cent indigenous peoples and ten per cent Indians. In Sarawak, the main indigenous peoples – collectively known in that state as the Dayaks – are the Iban, Bidayuh and Orang Ulu (with the Melanau being early settlers); and in Sabah, the Kadazan-Dusun, Bajau and Murut. Other ethnic groups in Malaysia include Europeans and Eurasians.The national language is Malay (Bahasa Malaysia), but English is widely spoken. Other languages include various Chinese dialects, Tamil and indigenous languages such as Iban and Kadazan.Muslims 61 per cent, Buddhists 20 per cent, Christians nine per cent and Hindus six per cent (2010 census). Islam is the official religion; freedom of worship is guaranteed under the constitution. Although Malaysia is officially a Muslim country,all religions are extremely important across the whole country. We can enjoy various of delicious foods, for example nasi lemak(malay), roti canai(India), char kway teow(Chinese) and many more. We have to respect every each other. We need to come to an understanding of other religions, respect and also accept them for the future peace and stability of the country and also for the country to prosper in the future.
