Malaysian Culture 101 (Introducing My Topic)

If you are currently reading this, thank you for taking the time to stop by to discover the rich and diverse culture of Malaysia.

A country filled with the essence of unique diversity, Malaysia boasts a rich combination of ethnicity, cultures, festivals, religions and customs. Malaysia is made up of three major races that is the Malays, Chinese and Indians, together with multiple ethnic groups. With an abundance of races in Malaysia, different festivals are celebrated throughout the year such as “Hari Raya”, “Harvest Festival”, “Chinese New Year” and “Deepavali”. More festivals also mean more public holidays! Malaysia can also be considered a country that is gastronomically diverse, as it has a smorgasbord of flavours/food to try. It can truly be considered as a “Food Paradise” indeed! This also extends to the diversity of languages and places of interest that are unique to each race and religion.

There is a famous slogan from Malaysia and some of you might have heard of it before.

“Malaysia, Truly Asia”

Yes, there are no other countries that are “Truly Asia” as Malaysia itself. A multicultural and multi-ethnic country, Malaysia is the place to experience sights, sounds, colours and flavours of Asia in one place.
