Malaysia is a very politically INCORRECT country - they let you know how it is, and make no apologies for it.
There are basically 3 groups of people in Malaysia:
Malays (Muslims) 60%
Chinese-Malays (Christians/Buddists, Etc) 20%
Indian-Malays (Sikhs, etc) 10%
The Malays get all the government and public service jobs. Period. If you aren't a Malay Muslim, you are on the outside looking in. Why? Because you aren't Muslim. That's the way it is and they make no apologies for it.
The Chinese-Malays (Born in Malaysia of Chinese heritage) own the private businesses throughout Malaysia. They have the financial power in the country and help keep Malaysia a moderate Islamic State.
The Indian-Malays (Born in Malaysia of Indian heritage) get shit on by the Malays and Chinese Malays. Bottom of the totem-pole, but make a mean Tandoori Chicken.
Foreign Workers - these are the guys (and gals) who take the low paying jobs that the Malays won't do. They come here for a few years, make some money and then go back to wherever. These are the people I employ for 8rm an hour (US$2.50).
Another example is my Filipino housekeeper, who comes in on Mondays & Thursdays. I pay her 400rm a month (US$125)

Thanks!
I'm in Kuala Lumpur, the capital and after 6 months I have to give it a thumbs up. If you don't mind hot weather - it is very hot all year-round, it's a good place to live. Most people speak English as it was a British Colony. The cost of living is inexpensive. Medical care is very good. Awesome food. Good infrastructure. Great location as the hub for Air Asia. I've been to Bangkok twice (2 hours); Phnom Penh (90 minutes); Singapore (45 minutes) on very cheap flights. Australia is 6 hours away and Tokyo is 5).
Not porn friendly - some sites are blocked.
All in all, not a bad place to live!
