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).
