STUDYING IN MALAYSIA
Forty percent of Malaysia—the more industrialized portion, where glass-walled skyscrapers abut low-rise spice shops—is on the Southeast Asian peninsula. The other 60%, less developed, is on an island shared with Borneo and Brunei, 400 miles across the South China Sea. Each portion is thick with equatorial rainforest. Malaysians themselves represent a collage of cultures. Native Malays share citizenship with ethnic Chinese and Indians, and though the state religion is Islam, Buddhist shrines and Hindu temples are as commonplace as mosques. Yet despite these cultural differences, Malaysia has minimal ethnic tension. Each culture retains its identity but shares its place in Malaysian society with remarkable ease. Visitors from other societies, too, are welcomed with warm hospitality.
School
School plays an important role in Malaysian society. It not only gives knowledge but also helps the family in inculcating moral values and behavior. Teachers will look out for your welfare, and you can ask them for help anytime.
LIVING IN MALAYSIA
Lifestyle and Family Living
Thanks to the diverse structure of Malaysian society, your family may belong to any one of the main ethnic groups: Malays, Chinese or Indian. Customs, values and manners might be very different from those you are accustomed to. A modest and humble attitude will help in communication and adapting to your new environment.
Dress and Appearance
Two things are seen as public interest in a small town: dress and personal morality. A Muslim woman is expected to cover her arms, head and legs. Long-sleeved shirts, trousers and sarongs are acceptable. Short or mini skirts or tight spaghetti-strap dresses are not acceptable in small towns but propriety is slightly flexible in the city.
