Malaysia’s dominant ethic group is Malay, which is defined by the constitution as someone who “professes the religion of Islam, habitually speaks the Malay language, and conforms to Malay custom.” It is this group that the constitution favors. (Incidentally, it is illegal to convert out of Islam in Malaysia.)
The indigenous locals, Chinese, and Indians are all minorities.
- redis_mlc 5y agoWe both know what "the constitution favors" means, and it isn't pretty. By locals I meant Malay, since there aren't a lot of Dayak, etc. walking around the cities. But I forgot to mention that prostitution is allowed for Chinese women in Malaysia, so the first floor in most hotels is a giant brothel. Gotta love Islamic countries. :)
