...Coursework 4 Developing Malaysia into an advanced nation respected in the eyes of the world needs commitment from the people of various races. What are the forms of commitment needed and what are the actions needed to fulfill the commitment until the development are attained? Development is highly complex both in terms of concept as well as in implementation. Scholars have provided various interpretations according to their own perspective. Some view it from the political angle, other, social or economic and many more, until the concept of development takes many forms. The citizens of Malaysia being different race, religion and descent, must be clear about this issue. This matter is all the more important because the people themselves took over the rule from the colonialists. Focus is given to the country’s main developmental policies before 13 May 1969, the New Economic Policy (NEP)that became the first long term plan known as Outline Perspective Plan 1 (OPP1), followed by the second long term plan (OPP2) and the third long term plan (OPP3). These philosophies and principles underlying development will hopefully enable all Malaysians to appreciate the direction or objective of the country’s development that has as its aim, national unity and racial integration. Besides that, the objective is also to raise the status of the citizens of Malaysia as a nation that is developed, progressive and harmonious as envisaged in Vision 2020. National Development Objective The general...

...Malaysia's history starts generally around the establishment of the Melaka sultanate. During the 13th century, it was renowned as a major port for traders from both east and west. Following this time, events developing in China and the Roman Empire motivated Indian traders to seek a new port for their rich trade. Melaka was chosen, based mainly on its advantageous location -- it was sheltered from strong monsoon winds, thus the port was able to operate year-round. Melaka 's profitable position was envied by many and resulted in the Portuguese invasion in 1511. Later, in 1641, the Dutch defeated the Portuguese and reigned until 1815 when the British Empire took over. After World War II, there was a resurgence of Malayan nationalism leading to the Declaration of Independence for the Federation of Malaya from the British Empire on August 31, 1957. Malaysia at the time was comprised 13 states, including Singapore, Sabah and Sarawak. In 1963 two federal territories were formed. Singapore later withdrew from the Federation in 1965. COUNTRY DESCRIPTION Malaysia has 13 states: 11 in Peninsular Malaysia and two, Sabah and Sarawak, on the island of Borneo (East Malaysia).

...Culture of Malaysia From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Life in Malaysia Culture Cuisine Demographics Economy Education Ethnic groups Film Health Holidays Languages Literature Malaysian English Music Politics Religion Religious freedom Society Sport Transport Tourism Indian Chinese The culture of Malaysia draws on the varied cultures of the different people of Malaysia. The first people to live in the area were indigenous tribes that still remain; they were followed by the Malays, who moved there from mainland Asia in ancient times. Chinese and Indian cultural influences made their mark when trade began with those countries, and increased with immigration to Malaysia. Other cultures that heavily influenced that of Malaysia include Persian, Arabic, and British. The many different ethnicities that currently exist in Malaysia have their own unique and distinctive cultural identities, with some crossover. Arts and music have a long tradition in Malaysia, with Malay art dating back to the Malay sultanates. Traditional art was centred around fields such as carving, silversmithing, and weaving. Islamic taboos restricted artwork depicting humans until the mid-20th century. Performing arts and shadow puppet shows are popular, and often show Indian influences. Various influences can be seen in architecture, from individual cultures in Malaysia and from other countries. Large modern structures have been built, including the tallest twin buildings in the world...

...PENDAHULUAN Malaysia merupakan salah sebuah negara yang masyarakatnya terdiri daripada pelbagai keturunan, etnik, warna kulit, agama, bahasa kebudayaan dan adat resam yang tersendiri. Ia merupakan satu-satunya negara masyarakat plural yang paling berjaya di alaf baru ini dalam mengekalkan keamanan dan perpaduan. Masyarakat majmuk mempunyai konsepnya dan sejarah yang tersendiri di Malaysia. Malaysia pada hari ini didiami oleh pelbagai bangsa, kaum dan etnik dari Perlis hingga ke Sabah. Kepelbagaian kaum dan etnik inilah maka wujud pula kepelbagaian budaya, bahasa, agama dan adat resam. Corak masyarakat Malaysia seperti ini berlaku disebabkan oleh perubahan masa dan keadaan, seperti yang berlaku terhadap perubahan struktur politiknya. Sebelum abad ke-18 dan ke-19, masyarakat Malaysia tidak begini coraknya. Sebaliknya boleh dikatakan bahawa, semenanjung Tahan Melayu ketika itu didiami oleh orang Melayu dan Orang Asli bersama sebilangan kecil bangsa atau kaum lain. Tetapi kini coraknya telah berubah dan wujudlah pembentukan masayarakat majmuk. J.S.Furnivall merupakan orang pertama yang mengemukakan konsep masyarakat majmuk berdasarkan kajiannya di Indonesia dan Burma. Menurut Furnivall (1967:54), masyarakat majmuk terdiri daripada pelbagai kaum yang mempunyai kebudayaan, agama, bahasa dan adat resam yang tersendiri. Walaupun pelbagai kaum berganding bahu di bawah sistem politik yang sama tetapi kehidupan mereka adalah berasingan dan interaksi sosial dalam kalangan mereka amat berkurangan...

Hari Kebangsaan is the most universal holidays that celebrate by the whole Malaysian to celebrate the independent of Malaya back to 31 August 1957.
