Malaysia culture

n Malaysia, cultures have been mixing up when Malaysia was colonized by Portuguese, Dutch, British, Siamese, and Japanese. The colonization of these countries did bring many disadvantages to my country which is Malaysia, but it did bring many benefits to Malaysia also. The main benefit is the colonization caused various group of people in Malaysia with different social and culture backgrounds, unite together into one physical entity. Malaysia consists of many types of ethnic groups, such as Malay, Chinese, Indian, indigenous people, the aborigines and minority of Portuguese descent. Each ethnic group has its very own culture. Culture can be defined as all the ways of life including beliefs, arts, and institutions of a population that are passed down from generation to generation. It includes language, religion, custom and etiquette, Malaysian dressing, festival celebration, dance, arts and crafts, food, and lifestyle.
I have chosen to write about things that are special in my country which it cannot be found in other country. This paper is about tourist attractions in Malaysia and food in Malaysia. Besides, I will write my essay according to the information that I learn from my text book as it is a part that is necessary for this paper. Moreover, I will take in my practical approach and also my own personal opinion by using SWOT analysis to reinforce and support my statement in this paper.

IPOH
The first place that you should visit in Malaysia is Ipoh. Ipoh is the capital of Perak Darul Ridzuan. Ipoh is also known as Bougainvillea city. Many people wonder how Ipoh gets its name. JWW Birch, the first British Resident of Perak, he had marked the town as “Epau” on a map he sketched in his journal (Burns, 1971, pp. 1874-75).
