Malaysia is one of the most intriguing countries in Asia in many
respects. It consists of several distinct areas, not only
geographically but ethnically as well; along with Malays and
related groups, the country has a very large Indian and Chinese
population. The spoken languages obviously vary at home, although
Bahasa Malaysia is the official language and nearly everyone speaks
English. There is also a mixture of religions, with Islam
predominating among the Malays and others, Hinduism and Sikhism
among the Indians, mainly Daoism and Confucianism among the
Chinese, but also some Christians as well as older indigenous
beliefs in certain places. This second edition of Historical
Dictionary of Malaysia contains a chronology, an introduction,
appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section
has over 500 cross-referenced entries on important personalities,
politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This
book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone
wanting to know more about Malaysia.
