ABSTRACT
The emergence of multiethnic society invented by British colonial policy has resulted in the Malaysian population today being comprised of three major ethnic groups, which are Malay, Chinese and Indian, with a number of other ethnic groups that form a small population apart of these three major groups. Also, there has been massive recent immigration that has moulded a diverse culture and ethnic background of Malaysian society. According to the Census 2000, the population of Malaysia is nearly 23 million, of which 21.89 million (95%) are Malaysian citizens.
