my personal presantation about culture of malysia. . .

The Culture of Malaysia, due to the multiracial nature of Malaysia, stems from the varied cultures of the different people within it. The first people to live in the area are indigenous tribes that still remain, followed by the Malays who later moved there. Chinese and Indian cultural influences made their mark when trade began in the area, and increased as immigration to Malaysia increased. Other cultures that heavily influenced that of Malaysia include Persian, Arabic, andBritish. Currently, the many different ethnicities that exist in Malaysia have their own unique cultural identities, which have managed to remain distinct while some crossover remained.

Arts and Music have a long tradition in Malaysia, with Malay art dating back to the Malay sultanates. Traditional art centred around areas such as carving, silversmithing, and weaving. Islamic taboos restricted artwork that would depict humans until the mid 20th century. Performing arts and shadow puppet shows are popular, and often show Indian influence. Architecture is varied, and traditional style is different in different parts of Malaysia. Building now show various influences, and modern buildings now include the tallest twin buildings in the world, the Petronas Twin Towers. Malaysian music has a variety of origins, but is mostly based off percussion instruments. Malaysian literature has only expanded beyond traditional stories in modern times.
