		Malaysian Independence Day on August 31 has officially been used by the government to instill gratitude and for reflection.
		And so, for many Malaysians, who celebrated the 48th Merdeka (freedom or independence) Day this past week, the event has long been void of real meaning.
		At the very least Malaysians appear to be getting more exasperated with their country's shortcomings, at the same time becoming more pointed and articulate in their criticism of them.

	Asia Times: Malaysians take stock
		The small crowd was a pale shadow of the last major demonstration near the capital last November, when tens of thousands of Malaysians converged on the Kesas Highway in an attempt to reach the site of a reformasi gathering.
		Malaysians, he said, "can choose to work or to be unemployed, to live in proper homes or remain in squatter houses, to live in hardship or to prosper".
		The Malaysian economy is facing a testing time after barely recording 0.5 percent GDP growth in the second quarter, in sharp contrast to the 8.3 percent growth last year, and no one knows for sure when the electronics industry - a key component of the economy - will recover.

	Kakiseni.com - Malaysians are robbed of their past: an interview with Dr. Farish A Noor
		I couldn’t understand why Malaysians had to go to the US or the UK to study their own traditions such as makyong or gamelan, and why many urban Malaysians don’t have a family house to go back to in the country on week-ends, like people do in other places in the world.
		Malaysian society is so communalised, race is so important, particularly to maintain the distinction between Malays and Indians.
		The Malays then for fear of losing their privileges fought the Malaysian independence on an understanding that Malaysia was the land of the Malays and that the Malays should be accorded special privileges.

	Malaysians more hip to outsourcing than Singaporeans :: Outsourcing News :: OpenOutsource (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		According to Martin Conboy, chief executive of ACA Research which carried out the study, what Malaysian financial companies tended to look for in a business process outsourcing (BPO) vendor was ability to get the job done, even if it was only as cheap as doing it inhouse.
		In it, 39% of Malaysian financial services companies said their main priority in a vendor was the ability to meet contract expectations, 26% expected to see one with financial strength and only 22% were concerned about a good reputation.
		This showed more sophisticated thinking about BPO by Malaysian companies, which Conboy attributed in part to the awareness of IT brought about by such initiatives as the Multimedia Super Corridor and the Government?s encouragement of IT in general.

	"Vast majority' of Malaysians English-speaking - 'Learn English" campaign
		If English is spoken by “the vast majority” of Malaysians, we are talking about at least 85 to 90 per cent of the Malaysian population – which is clearly untrue.
		The second item is the column by eminent British historian and author, Paul Johnson in FORBES November 29, 2004 entitled “Must the Whole World Speak English?”, on the convulsion in the French education world caused by a report on the future of its school system.
		The call to Malaysians to master the English language to enhance Malaysia’s international competitiveness has been made for the past five years, but without any dramatic effect – as evident from the army of unemployed and unemployable graduates, one major cause being their illiteracy in the English language.

	13/8/2005 -- Malaysians fume over Sumatran forest fires
		Malaysians are increasingly annoyed with their neighbours for failing to prevent, or put out, the fires.
		Malaysia is suffering because of lower levels of development in Indonesia, where slash-and-burn farmers persist with agricultural techniques that are thousands of years old, and corruption allows plantation owners to flaunt anti-burning laws to clear vast tracts of land cheaply.
		The Democratic Action Party, part of the Malaysian opposition, held a protest outside the Indonesian embassy in Kuala Lumpur yesterday, handing in a demand for compensation for "devastating economic losses and severely affecting the health of Malaysians".

	cheeaunblog: Web standards for Malaysians
		Coming from an online culture based around IRC and ICQ conversations, Malaysians tend to be untrained in cohesive thought and their comments tend to be rather crude and rude, intentionally or unintentionally.
		Most Malaysian web sites do not contain validated markup and use proprietary codes, such as The Star and Bluehyppo.
		Discussing web standards with Malaysians seems to be no avail, specifically at the Webmaster Malaysia forum.
