Talk about Malaysia in Southeast Asian countries

Malaysia, a country located on the Malay Peninsula in Southeast Asia, is a country with rich tropical customs and multi-ethnic cultures, which makes many foreign tourists yearn for it.

In China, if you take a tour group, most travel companies make tourist destination routes that are often referred to as "Xinmatai". This tourist route is called "New Matthew" in Beijing, which is already considered as old terrier. The abbreviations of three Beijing place names, Xinjiekou, Madian and Taipingzhuang, are homonyms for "New Matai".

Jokes aside, let's get to the point. The tourist route of Xinmatai is also very popular among China tourists. Firstly, it is relatively cheap. Secondly, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand are rich in tourism resources, whether it is natural landscape or human landscape. Among these three countries, Malaysia impressed me the most. I was fortunate enough to have studied and lived there for half a year, and I was deeply impressed by the natural environment and customs there. The following homepage describes my views on Malaysia, a Southeast Asian country, from the aspects of natural environment, human history, educational environment and current situation, and I hope to exchange views with friends and bring more or less inspiration and help to each other.

Malaysia is located in Southeast Asia, which is divided into two parts, East Malaysia and West Malaysia, separated by the South China Sea, among which Kuala Lumpur (the capital of Malaysia &; The largest city is located in west Malaysia. Malaysia's climate is tropical rain forest and tropical monsoon, with four seasons like summer, relatively hot and abundant precipitation. When I just landed in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on an AirAsia flight from Beijing Capital Airport, I just got out of the plane door and a heat wave came on me, thinking that the tropical climate really deserved its reputation. But it didn't take long to discover that the Malaysian fever is totally different from our summer of beijing fever. During the hottest days from the end of July to the beginning of August in summer in Beijing, the somatosensory temperature is very high, which will make people very uncomfortable and suffer. However, the tropical climate in Malaysia is dry and hot, and it will be very comfortable as long as it rains or the sun goes down.

There are three major ethnic groups in Malaysia, namely, Malay ethnic group (main ethnic group), Chinese ethnic group and Indian ethnic group. Malays belong to the local indigenous people, accounting for more than half of the total number of Malaysian nationals. They believe in Islam, hold the administrative power of the country and run the state machine, so most officials of the Malaysian government, whether at the top or at the local level, are from Malay ethnic groups.

The Chinese ethnic group is the second largest ethnic group in Malaysia, second only to the local indigenous Malays, accounting for about 22% of the country's total population. Most of them settled in China, Guangdong, Fujian and other underground Nanyang during the Ming and Qing Dynasties and the early Republic of China, thus forming today's Chinese ethnic group. Chinese people firmly control Malaysian industry and commerce with their diligence and clever minds, and many well-known local entrepreneurs are Chinese. Of course, there are also well-known sports stars and entertainment stars, such as the famous badminton player Li Zongwei, the famous singer Fish Leong and Guang Liang. When I arrived in Malaysia that year, I found that there were many Chinese, and they could be found almost everywhere in many downtown areas, so there was no problem of language communication. Through in-depth contact with local Chinese ethnic groups, I found some interesting details. First of all, a considerable number of Chinese in Malaysia have a deep affinity and yearning for the culture of China and China. In other words, they don't want to break the ties with China from the bottom of their hearts, and they still live in the heart of China, even though their nationality is Malaysia. Most Chinese can speak Mandarin, and of course they can also speak Cantonese and Minnan. The local Chinese can be said to have innate language talent. I have seen a Chinese guy who can speak eight languages, including Mandarin, Cantonese, Minnan, Malay, English, Japanese and German. It can be said that Chinese people are gods in language. Moreover, you can not only speak but also write in simplified Chinese characters and traditional Chinese characters. Advertising signs and signs of Chinese characters can be seen everywhere on the streets of Malaysia. This is mainly due to the fact that the local Chinese have a strong sense of cultural identity in China, and all ethnic Chinese send their children to Chinese schools sponsored by Malaysian Chinese entrepreneurs for education. Therefore, these Malaysian Chinese have received systematic education from a Chinese background since childhood, and the textbooks used in Chinese, history and even mathematics and physics are all from People's Education Press. To sum up, the Chinese ethnic group who settled in Malaysia has retained many traditional Chinese cultural elements, even not inferior to China. Secondly, the interesting detail is that Malaysian Chinese are unwilling or even disgusted with foreigners calling them Malays. I was new here at that time and called my Malaysian Chinese friends Malays, which made them speechless and unhappy, because at that time, I was confused about the concepts of Malays and Malaysians. In fact, their logical relationship is that Malays must be Malays, but Malaysians (Malaysian nationality) are not necessarily Malays, because there are three major ethnic groups in Malaysia. However, some details can be seen from the fact that Malaysian Chinese don't want to be called Malays by foreigners, for example, Malaysian Chinese treat Malays (the main ethnic group in Malaysia & The ruling class has always had bad feelings, which stems from the various oppression and differential treatment policies of Malays to Chinese. It is very difficult for Chinese to fight for their rights and interests in politics. Malays have set up a "apartheid ceiling" for Chinese, which has almost cut off the possibility of Chinese going into politics. Even Chinese have been hindered from getting into Malaysia's top national universities. It can be said that although many Malaysian Chinese are engaged in business, their political status is low and they have no right to speak. They often talk about "second-class citizens" in their mouths, which really reveals their helplessness and resentment. Let's talk about the specialties of local Chinese ethnic groups. Because most of the local Chinese migrated from Fujian, Guangdong, many local cuisines are mainly Cantonese cuisine and Fujian cuisine, preferring to eat fish. I prefer local specialty snacks, such as fish ball powder, Wonton Noodles and so on.

In addition to the Malay ethnic group, there are also a few Indian ethnic groups in Malaysia. On the streets of Malaysia, you can see those dark-skinned Indians dressed in Indian national costumes. The relationship between Indian ethnic groups and Chinese is fairly harmonious. You can often see them eating in restaurants run by Chinese, and you can also see Chinese skillfully eating curry with their hands in Indian restaurants. All this is like a silent running-in, and two ethnic groups with different cultures can adapt to and integrate into their different cultures and eating habits.

after talking about Malaysia's natural climate and humanistic diet, let's talk about Kuala Lumpur, the capital and largest city of Malaysia, which is the political center, economic center and educational and cultural center of Malaysia. One of the largest cities in Southeast Asia. Located in the tropics, it is a standard tropical city with abundant rainfall and good greening environment. Here are some tourist attractions that I think are good.

The towering Twin Towers stand in downtown Kuala Lumpur and were built in the 199s. As one of the four tigers in Asia, Malaysia's economy began to develop rapidly in the 199s. At that time, the Twin Towers became a coordinate building in Kuala Lumpur and even Malaysia as a postcard for Malaysia's external publicity. The Petronas Twin Towers are magnificent for sightseeing during the day or at night, especially at night with city lights.

In the 199s, with the rapid economic development in Malaysia, the city of Kuala Lumpur developed rapidly, and high-rise buildings sprang up one after another, but the old architectural style of Kuala Lumpur was also preserved, echoing the newly-built modern buildings. The sense of history and modern fashion set off the unique charm of Kuala Lumpur and even Malaysia. Cichang Street, located in the old city of Kuala Lumpur, is also known as Chinatown in Kuala Lumpur. Although it is small, it is very lively, whether it is day or night. Especially at night, it's more like a festival, and it's a famous local night market. In Cichang Street, you can eat all kinds of special snacks, such as rice rolls, braised duck, Wonton Noodles, etc. Besides, there are Chinese restaurants everywhere. Friends who have a special liking for roadside stalls come here to ensure that you can feast your eyes. In addition to delicious food, you can also see all kinds of Chinese archways, all kinds of Chinese buildings and Chinese-style stalls along the street in Cichang Street. The shops here are basically run by Malaysian Chinese, with striking Chinese signs and advertisements written in traditional Chinese characters. Being in it makes people indulge in the unique historical and cultural atmosphere. Cichang Street is also a good place for shopping. Not only can you buy inexpensive handicrafts, but also you can buy some works by Malaysian Chinese writers, literature and current affairs reviews in the featured Chinese bookstore. There is a local school called "Malaysian Chinese Literature".

finally, let's talk about education in Malaysia. The quality of Malaysian education is relatively high in developing China countries, especially in Southeast Asian countries, especially their higher education. I feel that the Malaysian education system is quite suitable for some students in China to develop. If you feel that you can't get into a high school in China and don't want to go to a vocational high school or technical school during the senior high school entrance examination, you can consider going to Malaysia at the age of 15 or 16, and you can choose to go to an independent middle school run by Chinese there first. Independent middle schools teach in Chinese, and the subjects they teach include mathematics, physics, chemistry, China and world history, as well as English and Malay. By studying in an independent middle school, it is convenient to apply for local universities in Malaysia, whether national or private, and the quality of education is good. China students in the third year of senior high school can directly apply to Malaysian universities. Some universities need English IELTS scores, while others don't. They need to go to language classes first, which is equivalent to preparatory classes. The advantage is that part of the study pressure is relieved, and I can improve my English in the English language environment. The biggest advantage of studying in Malaysia is to use local universities as a springboard to apply for higher education institutions in Australia and Britain, because they belong to the Commonwealth education system and are closely related. If you apply for a master's degree in Britain or Australia with the same grade, you will be more likely to apply for an offer as a Malaysian university graduate, compared with applying locally in China.

Dear friends, due to the limited space, I'll stop talking to you today, and I hope to communicate with you more.
