ʻO ke kapikala Malaysian o Kuala Lumpur he mēlée kosmopolitan.

He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:

“It was one of the basic foundations from when we got our independence from the British, and one of the issues at the center of many discussions among the various communities was what their role would be in the country of Malaysia,”.
A large portion of the plush government jobs at the nearby government city of Patrajaja with its monumental buildings and false lake and bridges are also set aside for ethnic Malay in an unabashedly discriminatory policy that this country’s citizens are expected to accept.
To this day if you drive in the center of KL, across from the tall skyscrapers and urban sprawl you will find whole swaths of land with homes only available to ethnic Malay citizens, a concept that simply wouldn’t fly in North America, Britain or Australia.
