Abstract

Malaysia might look, at first glance, like a divided nation. About four-fifths of the country's 19 million people live in “peninsular” Malaysia on the Asian mainland. The rest live some 400 miles away, in the Sabah and Sarawak regions on the island of Borneo in the South China Sea. The country is also split ethnically. Malays and other indigenous races, such as the Dayaks and Khadazans, make up 60% of the population. The Chinese form just under one-third (30%) of the total, and the remainder are Indians and other ethnic minorities. On top of all that, the groups have cultures that are almost as diverse as the languages that they speak.
