Malaysia is a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural and multi-lingual society, with many races maintaining a distinct cultural identity and living together in Malaysia for generations, including Malays, Chinese, Indians and many, many others. These cultures interact to shape a culture that is truly Malaysian. There are about 140,000 indigenous people in Peninsular Malaysia, including several different ethnic communities.
The largest ethnic groups in Malaysia are Malays, Chinese and Indians. Sabah and Sarawak are inhabited by various indigenous peoples, each with its own unique culture and heritage.
The Malays are the largest ethnic group in Malaysia, making up more than 50% of the population. In Malaysia, a Malay is a person who has Malay ancestry, practises Islam and Malay traditions, and speaks the Malay language. They practiced Hinduism and Theravada Buddhism until the 1400s, when they converted to Islam due to the decision of the Malacca Sultanate.
Chinese Malaysians are the second largest ethnic group in Malaysia, making up about 25% of the population. They are mostly descendants of immigrants from the Qing Dynasty and are known for their diligence and business acumen. Chinese Malaysians have largely retained elements of Chinese culture, such as Buddhism and Taoism.
Malaysian Indians are the smallest of the three ethnic groups, making up about 10% of the total population. Most of them are descendants of Tamir-speaking immigrants from South India who came to Malaysia in the early days of British Malaya to escape India's caste system. Indian immigrants brought Hindu and Sikh cultures with them, bringing a variety of native cultures to Malaysia, such as ornate temples, spicy food and fine saris. Hindu traditions remain dominant in Malaysian Indian society.
