Is there a lot of diversity? Are people in Malaysia accepting of differences?
When we asked people about diversity in Malaysia and whether locals are accepting of differences, they said...
"Very multi racial and people seem to have no problems living next door to each other in spite of racial or religious preferences. In fact, all major religious festivals are public holidays and everyone celebrates," remarked another expat in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia.
"Yes, there is a lot of diversity in Malaysia. People of diverse backgrounds, religions, races, and cultures reside in Malaysia, creating a vibrant and unique cultural landscape. Acceptance of differences is generally high in Malaysia, making it a safe place for people to express different identities. There is even a national policy that seeks to promote racial harmony and social cohesion across the country," said a member in Malaysia.
