47. Malaysian community
 Malay
Today, the Malays, Malaysia's largest ethnic group,
make up more than 50% of the population. In
Malaysia, the term Malay refers to a person who
practices Islam and Malay traditions, speaks the
Malay language and whose ancestors are Malays.
Their conversion to Islam from Hinduism and
Theravada Buddhism began in the 1400s, largely
influenced by the decision of the royal court of
Melaka.The Malays are known for their gentle
mannerisms and rich arts heritage

49. CHINESE

The second largest ethnic group, the Malaysian
Chinese form about 25% of the population.
Mostly descendants of Chinese immigrants
during the 19th century, the Chinese are known
for their diligence and keen business sense.The
three sub-groups who speak a different dialect of
the Chinese language are the Hokkien who live
predominantly on the northern island of Penang;
the Cantonese who live predominantly in the
capital city Kuala Lumpur; and the Mandarin-
speaking group who live predominantly in the
southern state of Johor

51. INDIAN

The smallest of three main ethnic groups, the
Malaysian Indians form about 10% of the
population. Most are descendants ofTamil-
speaking South Indian immigrants who came to
the country during the British colonial rule. Lured
by the prospect of breaking out of the Indian
caste system, they came to Malaysia to build a
better life. Predominantly Hindus, they brought
with them their colourful culture such as ornate
temples, spicy cuisine and exquisite sarees.

53. INDIGENOUS ETHNIC GROUPS
 Orang Asli
Orang Asli is a general term used for any
indigenous groups that are found in Peninsular
Malaysia.They are divided into three main tribal
groups: Negrito, Senoi and Proto-Malay.The
Negrito usually live in the north, the Senoi in the
middle and the Proto-Malay in the south. Each
group or sub-group has its own language and
culture. Some are fishermen, some farmers and
some are semi-nomadic.

55. sarawak
 Iban
The largest of Sarawak's ethnic groups, the Ibans
form 30% of the state's population. Sometimes
erroneously referred to as the Sea Dayaks
because of their skill with boats, they are actually
an upriver tribe from the heart of Kalimantan. In
the past, they were a fearsome warrior race
renowned for headhunting and piracy.
Traditionally, they worship a triumvirate of gods
under the authority of Singalang Burung, the
bird-god of war. Although now mostly Christians,
many traditional customs are still practised.

57.  Bidayuh
Peace-loving and easy-going, the gentle
Bidayuh of Sarawak are famous for their
hospitality and tuak or rice wine. Making their
homes in Sarawak's mountainous regions, they
are mostly farmers and hunters. In their past
headhunting days, their prized skulls were
stored in a 'baruk' a roundhouse that rises about
1.5 metres above the ground. Originally
animists, now most of them have converted to
Christianity

59.  Orang Ulu
Also known as upriver tribes of Sarawak.
Forming roughly 5.5% of Sarawak's population,
there are over 100,000 different Orang Ulu
tribes. Arguably Borneo's most artistic people,
their large longhouses are ornately decorated
with murals and superb woodcarvings; their
utensils are embellished with intricate
beadwork; and aristocratic ladies cover their
bodies with finely detailed tattoos.

61. sabah
 Kadazan Dusun
The largest ethnic group of Sabah, the Kadazan
Dusuns form about 30% of the state's
population. Actually consisting of two tribes; the
Kadazan and the Dusun, they were grouped
together as they both share the same language
and culture. However, the Kadazan are mainly
inhabitants of flat valley deltas, which are
conducive to paddy field farming, while the
Dusun traditionally lived in the hilly and
mountainous regions of interior Sabah.

63.  Bajau
The second largest ethnic group in Sabah, the Bajaus
make up about 15% of the state's population.
Historically a nomadic sea-faring people that
worshipped the Omboh Dilaut or God of the Sea, they
are sometimes referred to as the Sea Gypsies.Those
who chose to leave their sea-faring ways became
farmers and cattle-breeders.These land Bajaus are
nicknamed 'Cowboys of the East' in tribute to their
impressive equestrian skills, which are publicly
displayed in the annual Tamu Besar festival at Kota
Belud.

65.  Murut
The third largest ethnic group in Sabah the
Muruts make up about 3% of the state's
population.Traditionally inhabiting the northern
inland regions of Borneo, they were the last of
Sabah's ethnic groups to renounce headhunting.
Now, they are mostly shifting cultivators of hill
paddy and tapioca, supplementing their diet
with blowpipe hunting and fishing. Like most
indigenous tribes in Sabah, their traditional
clothing is decorated with distinctive beadwork.
