"TO KNOW MALAYSIA IS TO LOVE MALAYSIA" Suraya's Profile

Welcome to my homepage. I will try my best to show all of you what Malaysia can offer you. I will try to simplify as possible as I could since there so many places that you guys can visit.

Typical Malay boy

Malaysia has 3 major groups of people and the chief among these is the ancient Malay culture, and the cultures of Malaysia's two most prominent trading partners throughout history--the Chinese, and the Indians. These three groups are joined by a dizzying array of indigenous tribes, many of which live in the forests and coastal areas of Borneo.

Chinese Lady

The Chinese traded with Malaysia for centuries, then settled in number during the 19th century when word of riches in the Nanyang, or "South Seas," spread across China.

An Indian Man

Indians had been visiting Malaysia for over 2,000 years, but did not settle en masse until the 19th century. Most came from South India, fleeing a poor economy.

Sarawak Man

The oldest inhabitants of Malaysia are its tribal peoples. They account for about 5 percent of the total population, and represent a majority in Sarawak and Sabah.
