Common Chinese Customs And Foods that were Proudly Made in Malaysia: 1. Lions dancing on poles  -While lion dances are popular in China, they were never known for dancing on or jumping off poles as they do in Malaysia. In fact, this routine only started around 1983 when competitive Lion Dancing became a thing here. In order to make the performances even more exciting, a Lion Dance troupe known as Hing Tung Lok lion dance association decided to add poles to their performances that were just 33 inches high. Evidently, this exciting albeit slightly dangerous routine caught on and today, some Lion Dance troupes have even performed on 20-metre high poles! 2.The Chinese god that came from Seremban -Commonly known as Xian Shiye, this Chinese god emerged after the brutal death of Sheng Ming Li. Sheng, a Hakka from Huizhou, was said to have migrated to Melaka in 1851 where he soon became the Chinese captain of his community because of his successes and how he flourished in

Five Common Chinese Subgroups made up from Chinese community in Malaysia 1.  Hokkien, the largest Chinese subgroup in Malaysia WHERE THEY CAME FROM:  The Hokkiens originated from the southern Fujian (or Min) province in China, particularly the cities of Quanzhou, Amoy (known as Xiamen today), and Zhangzhou. WHERE THEY FIRST SETTLED IN:  The Zhangzhou Hokkiens went to the northern parts of the peninsula, particularly in Penang, Kedah, Kelantan, and Terengganu. On the other hand, Quanzhou Hokkiens settled in the south - Melaka and Johor - and some larger towns in Sarawak. PAST MAIN OCCUPATIONS:  Besides dominating the job market in rubber plantations, the Hokkiens were also pioneers in the trading sectors. Most Chinese traders and merchants in the import-export industry as well as wholesale dealers and grocers are of Hokkien descent, hence why the dialect also became the  lingua franca   of trade in the states they settled in. IN PRESENT DAY MALAYSIA:  T

Malaysian Chinese Malaysian Chinese , also known as Chinese Malaysians, refer to people of full or partial Chinese blood who were born in or immigrated to Malaysia. Most of them are descended from immigrants - likely of Han Chinese ancestry - who arrived between the mid-19th and early 20th century. Chinese immigration into Malaysia can be classified into three major waves: (i) First Wave : More than 500 years ago, Chinese traders and young nobles from a royal entourage started settling in and  around Melaka. Some married the locals, creating a new class of Straits-born Chinese. (ii) Second Wave: From early 19th century to the 1930s, thousands of Chinese immigrants came to British-ruled Malaya in search of a better life. Most Malaysian Chinese today are descended from this wave of immigrants. (iii) Third Wave: In the present day, Malaysia is seeing a small but quickly-growing number of Mandarin-speaking immigrants from China, especially those married to Malaysian Chi

Welcome to Ipoh Ipoh, the state capital of Perak and third-biggest city in Malaysia. It grew rich on the tin trade, which transformed it within the space of forty years at the end of the nineteenth century from a tiny kampung in a landscape dominated by dramatic limestone outcrops to a sprawling boom town. Now a metropolis of over half a million people, Ipoh is a far cry from the original village on this site. Perak had been renowned for its rich tin deposits since the sixteenth century, which made it vulnerable to attempts from rival chiefs to seize the throne and thus gain control of the lucrative tin trade. However, it wasn't until the discovery of a major field in 1880 that Ipoh's fortunes turned; before long it became a prime destination for pioneers, merchants and fortuneseekers from all over the world, and a cosmopolitan city, something reflected in the broad mix of cultures today. To accommodate the rapidly increasing population, between 1905 and 1914 the city expan

My Personality 1. Calm I have never gotten into an altercation at school or at any other place for that matter. I don't get mad easily, which I think is a good thing because if I was a hot head then I would be getting into a lot of trouble. What I have noticed is that hot heads always have problems with other people that are hot heads so I'm glad that I am not a hot head. 2. Talkative I talk all the time especially with all my close friends. I'm always the first one who says something when there is an awkward moment in any case which I think is a good thing. But when I meet people for the first time, I don't talk as much which is shyness but when the awkward moment of meeting someone new is over then I talk more. 3. Optimistic I'm just not a negative person even when I am upset or mad. There is always that one person in your group of friends that is negative and I hate it when they try and bring the whole group down. I always tell that one per
