Malaysia Travel Warning Malaysia History and Culture History Aboriginal Malays (Orang Asli) began moving down the Malay peninsula from south-western China about 10,000 years ago. The peninsula came under the rule of the Cambodian-based Funan, the Sumatran-based Srivijaya and the Java-based Majapahit empires, before the Chinese arrived in Melaka in 1405. Islam arrived in Melaka at about the same time and spread rapidly. Melaka's wealth soon attracted European powers, and the Portuguese took control in 1511, followed by the Dutch in 1641. The British established a thriving port in Penang in 1786 and took over Melaka in 1795. The British colonised the interior of the peninsula when tin was discovered. East Malaysia came into British hands via the adventurer James Brooke (who was made Rajah of Sarawak in 1841 after suppressing a revolt against the Sultan of Brunei) and the North Borneo Company (which administered Sabah from 1882). Britain took formal control of both Sabah and Sarawak after WW II. The indigenous labour supply was insufficient for the needs of the developing rubber and tin industries, so the British brought large numbers of Indians into the country, altering the peninsula's racial mix.

The Malays are the largest community. They are Muslims, speak Bahasa and are largely responsible for the political fortunes of the country. The Chinese comprise about a third of the population. They are Buddhists and Taoists, speak Hokkein, Hakka and Cantonese, and are dominant in the business community. The Indians account for about 10% of the population. They are mainly Hindu Tamils from southern India, they speak Tamil, Malayalam, and some Hindi, and live mainly in the larger towns on the west coast of the peninsula. There is also a sizeable Sikh community. Eurasians and indigenous tribes make up the remaining population. Despite Bahasa Malaysia being the official language, when members of these different communities talk to each other, they generally speak English, which was recently reinstated as the language of instruction in higher education. The main indigenous tribe is the Iban of Sarawak, who number 395,000. They are largely longhouse dwellers and live along the Rejang and Baram rivers. The Bidayuh (107,000) are concentrated on Sarawak's Skrang River. The Orang Asli (80,000) live in small scattered groups in Peninsular Malaysia. Traditionally nomadic agriculturalists, many have been absorbed into modern Malaysia.

Where are the Borders? William Van Der Heide. Malaysian cinema, Asian film: border crossings and national cultures . Amsterdam University Press. 2002. ISBN: 9 05356519 1 US$32.00 (pb) The dearth of publications on Malaysian cinema makes William Van Der Heide's comprehensive study of Malaysian film culture valuable. Malaysian cnema, Asian film: border crossings and national cultures , is the first book published in English solely devoted to Malaysian film culture. However, the value of the book lies not just in the little known (even marginalized) Malaysian cinema but also in the interesting approach that Van Der Heide has chosen to study this subject. Van Der Heide considers cinema and film culture to be two very different things. Cinema, he writes, "refers to a specific film production aggregate based on national, regional, ethnic, linguistic, gender or any other identity characteristic" and "film culture or film refers to the collective film experience of a particular community both synchronically and diachronically" (11). Therefore, the point of interest in the book is how Van Der Heide brings together these two varying concepts in his analysis of Malaysian film culture. Labu dan Labi (1963). He shows how Hollywood, Japanese, Hong Kong and Indian film have intermingled, shaped and changed Malaysian cinema. He interestingly (even entertainingly I might add) presents his arguments using pejorative culinary labels that have been tagged on Westerns, especially those that have strayed from the authentic Hollywood "Hamburger" Western, such as the Spaghetti Western, Sauerkraut Western, Paella Western, Camembert Western, Chop Suey Western, Noodle Western, Borsch Western and Curry Western - would

Next: Educational Policy Malaysian Tamils and Tamil Linguistic Culture Harold F. Schiffman University of Pennsylvania The purpose of this paper is to examine the position of Tamil as an ethnic minority and language in Malaysia, and to make some predictions about the prognosis for survival of Tamil in the twenty-first century. Tamils are the largest of the language groups that form the `Indian' minority in Malaysia, which constitutes around 9% of the population, or 1.5 million. Within this number, people classified as Tamil-speaking are about 85%.Below I will deal with the subject of the increasing number of Tamils who are not actually Tamil speakers. In a fairly recent compendium of articles on South Asian immigrants in Southeast Asia (Sandhu and Mani, eds. 1993) over half of the articles are devoted to the question of Indian communities in Malaysianineteen out of a total of 37, the rest being devoted to Brunei, Indonesia, Myanmar (Burma), the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand. Language policy in Malaysia is a topic that cannot be openly discussed without fear of being charged under the Sedition Act of 1948.The policy, as stated in the Constitution (Amendment) Act, 1971, is that the status of Malay as official and other languages as tolerated, ``may no longer be questioned, it being considered that such a sensitive issue should for ever be removed from the arena of public discussion." (Suffian bin Hashim, 1976:324) It is only one of those taboo issues (the place of Islam, the special status of Malays) that may not be discussed in Malaysia, for fear of disturbing certain ethnic sensibilities. Therefore the only writing one finds on the topic of language policy are filiopietistic articles extolling the virtue of the system, its natural fairness, its commitment to building up the national culture, and so forth. It can be described, but it cannot be criticized, so criticism of it will only be made outside the country.

Performing Arts (a) Dance Click to listen the narration The graceful steps of a traditional Malay dance The Melaka Portuguese community have produced many great musicians. In Malaysia, dances can be clearly defined into two categories: traditional and modern dances. The traditional dances were initially an integral part of the animistic rituals that adorned the lives of the early Malays. They served to placate the various spirits which governed numerous facets of their lives. Through the passage of time and with various religious influences, they became more structured and refined to serve both ritualistic and secular functions. During the realm of the Melaka Sultanate, the court dances were differentiated from folk dances by their refinements, courtly etiquette and regal ambiance. With the advent of new knowledge and technology, the religious functions of dance were slowly eroded. There was no longer any need to placate the spirits of the rain for padi-planting nor was there any necessity to appease the spirits of the land when there was an epidemic. Furthermore, most thanksgiving and offerings are performed in the Islamic manner - through prayers, supplications and reciting of the holy Qur¡¯an. Hence, the court and folk dances remain to mainly serve the secular entertainment function.

Company Products History in Brief Situated in the heart of Southeast Asia at one of the world's major crossroads, Malaysia has always been pivotal to trade routes from Europe, the Orient, India and China. Its warm tropical climate and abundant natural blessings made it a congenial The arrival of Europeans in Malaysia brought a dramatic change to the country. In 1511, the Portuguese captured Malaka and the rulers of the Melaka Sultanate fled south to Johor where they tried to establish a new kingdom. They were resisted not only by the Europeans but by the Acehnese, Minangkabau and the Bugis, resulting in the sovereign units of the present-day states of Peninsular Malaysia. The Portuguese were in turn defeated in 1641 by the Dutch, who colonized Melaka until the advent of the British in the Dutch exerted any profound influence on Malay society. The British acquired Melaka from the Dutch in 1824 in exchange for Bencoolen in Sumatra. From their new bases in Malaka, Penang and Singapore, collectively known as the Straits settlements, the British, through their influence and power, began the process of political intergration of the Malay states of Peninsular Malaysia. After World War II and the Japanese occupation from 1941-45, the British created the Malayan Union 1946.This was abandoned in 1948 and the Federation of Malaya emerged in its place. The Federation gained its independence from Britain on
