Talk about Malaysia among Southeast Asian countries

Malaysia, a country located in the Malay Peninsula in Southeast Asia, is a country with rich tropical customs and multi-ethnic culture, which attracts many foreign tourists.

In China, if you join a tour group, most travel companies will work out the destination route, which is usually called "New Matai". 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 of "Xinmatai".

Jokes are jokes, and get down to business. The tourist routes in Xinmatai are also very popular with tourists from China. First of all, it is relatively cheap. Secondly, Xinmatai is rich in tourism resources, whether it is natural landscape or human landscape. Of these three countries, Malaysia impressed me the most. I was lucky enough to study and live 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, hoping to communicate with my friends and bring more or less inspiration and help to each other.

Malaysia is located in Southeast Asia and is divided into East Malaysia and West Malaysia by the South China Sea, of which Kuala Lumpur (the capital of Malaysia &; The largest city is located in the west of Malaysia. Malaysia's climate is tropical rain forest and tropical monsoon, with four seasons like summer, relatively hot and abundant precipitation. The AirAsia flight at Beijing Capital Airport has just landed in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and a heat wave has just come out of the plane door, thinking that the tropical climate really deserves its reputation. But it didn't take long to find that the heat in Malaysia is completely different from our hot summer in Beijing. In the hottest days of summer in Beijing from the end of July to the beginning of August, the somatosensory temperature is very high, which will make people very uncomfortable and uncomfortable. However, Malaysia's tropical climate is dry and hot, so 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 local aborigines, accounting for more than half of Malaysia's national population. 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, come from the Malay ethnic group.

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 in the Ming and Qing Dynasties and the early years of the Republic of China, thus forming today's Chinese nation. Chinese people firmly control Malaysian industry and commerce with diligence and smart minds, and many well-known local entrepreneurs are Chinese. Of course, there are also famous sports stars and entertainment stars, such as famous badminton player Li Zongwei, famous singers Fish Leong and Liang Guang. 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. 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 Malaysian Chinese have deep affinity and yearning for the culture of China and China. In other words, they don't want to sever their ties with China from the bottom of their hearts. They still live in the heart of China, even though their nationality is Malaysian. Most people in China can speak Mandarin, and of course they can also speak Cantonese and Minnan. The local Chinese can be said to have an innate language talent. I met a China native who can speak eight languages, including Mandarin, Cantonese, Minnan, Malay, English, Japanese and German. It can be said that China people are gods in language. Moreover, you can not only speak in simplified and traditional Chinese characters, but also write. Advertising signs and Chinese characters can be seen everywhere on the streets of Malaysia. This is mainly because the local Chinese have a strong sense of cultural identity with China, and all Chinese send their children to Chinese schools sponsored by Malaysian Chinese businessmen for education. Therefore, these Malaysian Chinese have received systematic education with Chinese background since childhood, and the textbooks used in Chinese, history and even mathematics and physics are all from People's Education Publishing House. To sum up, the Chinese ethnic groups who settled in Malaysia retained many elements of China traditional culture, even not inferior to China. Secondly, the interesting detail is that Malaysian Chinese are unwilling or even disgusted with foreigners calling them Malays. When I first arrived here, I called my Chinese friends in Malaysia 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 (Malaysians) 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 have always had bad feelings towards Malays (the main ethnic group in Malaysia-the ruling class), which stems from various oppression and differential treatment policies of Malays towards Chinese. It is difficult for China people to fight for their rights and interests politically. Malays set up a "apartheid ceiling" for Chinese, which almost cut off the possibility of Chinese entering politics. Even China people are banned from entering the top Malaysian national universities. It can be said that although many Malaysian Chinese do business, their political status is low and they have no right to speak. They often hang the name of "second-class citizens", which really shows their helplessness and resentment. Let's talk about the specialties of local ethnic minorities in China. Because most of the local Chinese migrated from Fujian, Guangdong, many local cuisines are mainly Cantonese cuisine and Fujian cuisine, and they prefer 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 a small number of Indian ethnic groups in Malaysia. On the streets of Malaysia, you can see those dark-skinned Indians 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 China people, and you can also see China people 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, located in the center of Kuala Lumpur, were built in the 1990s. As one of the four little dragons in Asia, Malaysia's economy began to develop rapidly in the 1990s. At that time, as a postcard for Malaysia's external publicity, the Twin Towers became a coordinate building in Kuala Lumpur and even Malaysia. The Petronas Petronas Petronas Petronas Twin Towers are spectacular during the day or at night, especially at night when the city lights up.

In the 1990s, with the rapid development of Malaysia's economy, the city of Kuala Lumpur developed rapidly, and high-rise buildings sprang up like mushrooms after rain, but the ancient 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 the Chinatown of 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 Porcelain Factory Street, you can eat all kinds of special snacks, such as rice rolls, braised duck, Wonton Noodles and so on. Besides, there are China restaurants everywhere. Friends who have a special liking for roadside stalls come here to ensure that you will feast your eyes. In addition to food, you can also see all kinds of Chinese archways, all kinds of Chinese buildings and Chinese stalls along the street in Cichang Street. The shops here are basically run by Malaysian Chinese, with striking Chinese signboards and advertisements written in traditional Chinese characters. Being in it makes people intoxicated in the unique historical and cultural atmosphere. Cichang Street is also a good place for shopping. Not only can you buy cheap handicrafts, but you can also buy some works, literature and current affairs reviews of Malaysian Chinese writers in the characteristic Chinese bookstore. There is a local school called "Malaysian Chinese Literature".

Finally, talk about education in Malaysia. The quality of Malaysian education is relatively high among developing China countries, especially Southeast Asian countries, especially their higher education. I feel that Malaysia's education system is quite suitable for the development of some domestic students. If you feel that you can't get into senior high school in China and don't want to go to vocational high school or technical school, you can consider going to Malaysia at the age of 15, 16, and you can choose to go to an independent middle school run by Chinese there first. Independent middle schools teach in Chinese, including mathematics, physics, chemistry, China and world history, as well as English and Malay. Studying in an independent middle school, it is very convenient to apply for a local university in Malaysia. The quality of education is good, whether it is state-owned or private. China students in senior three can apply to Malaysian universities directly. Some universities need English IELTS scores, while others don't. They need to take a language class first, which is equivalent to a preparatory class. 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 all belong to the Commonwealth education system and are closely related. If you apply for a master's degree in the UK or Australia of the same level, you will be more likely to apply for an offer as a Malaysian university graduate than a local application in China.

Dear friends, due to the limited space, I want to talk to you here today, hoping to communicate with you more.
