Discover the Hidden Chinese Influence in Malaysia 

Malaysia is 1/4 ethnic chinese malaysian citizens. Of course there is strong chinese influence.

Theres no pure Malay, Indian, bumi etc anymore. If we Malaysians take DNA tests pretty sure Chinese ancestry will show up. Because mix marriages is extremely common in southeast Asia.

Great video! Thank you for showing the Malaysian Chinese heritage. I think the video title “hidden Chinese influence” is not accurate. Inside your video, you talked about it as the heritage which is more accurate. And most Malaysian Chinese came to Malaysia prior to 1949, so the current CCP flag in the video doesn’t represents Malaysian Chinese connection. In fact the Chinese heritage here is much older than the CCP. Also a tip, Malaysia Chinese is one of the most misunderstood population, so don’t be surprised if you get corrected in the comments. For decades Malaysian Chinese feel like a second class citizen due to political reasons, so many don’t like to be associated as “hidden”. It feels misrepresented. 9 out of the top 10 billionaires in Malaysia are Malaysian Chinese. If you research a bit deeper you will find that the Malaysian Chinese is not hidden or just an influence, they are the economy powerhouse of Malaysia. Try create a video that represents the Malaysian Chinese better and you will get a lot of positive response. Good luck in growing your channel!

Great video❤

China people came to this land since before 1000AD as evident of the Bujang Valley in Kedah. There are temples and utensils dated thousand of years old. The trader met up with India traders to trade. Some even stay here.. In 1400 during Parameswara, the hindu prince set up Melaka port city. He and gis Son, Mahmud sail to China to be crown as Melaka Sultan and Siam are not allowed to invade Melaka. Every year tribute is to be send to China. A battalion of soldiers with kungfu warriors were given Bukit Cina to stay in Melaka. During the 1700.the British colonised this land akd brought Ibdia and China workers to work in their industries mining and plantation. They cannot depend on the Malays to work on their industries. As the industries grows bigger the British Brough more China and India people. Till 1957, all these foreigners that stay here were given citizenship upon independence. But this time, most of them. Are on the 3rd of 4th generation eith grand children born here. According to a British scholar, Malaya economy was develop by the British and Chinese entrepreneur. Most Chinese develop the towns around Malaysia and zo not surprising most Town look like china town. Nevertheless the Chinese in Malaysia are dwindling as most of them already migrated overseas. That is the reason of the brain drain in the country. Its very hatd to find professional workers in Malaysia. Most companies still retained old workers even to 70 years old as they cannot find new dedicated workers to support the company.

what hidden...all these influences are obvious and positive...memang 矯情 lah kau 😩😩😩

@heimuk whatever and whoever you are, you have to understand and be open minded that the word " "hidden" used is to make awareness to some people who are not fully aware of, that these things exist in the culture which almost maybe are. You must be flattered that some foreign nationals made an effort to promote the culture which I don't think you can.

The malaysian chinese heritage is not hidden.Keep it real,amateur historian.

Undeniably, these people making comments are foolish. They need attention, care and love as they never had it growing up and that is a sad life. Just a piece of advise, if boredom strikes, go online and watch all the videos of @just laz 😅 so you'll learn and get some tips that you can apply in your life.😊

Hidden? i beg your pardon but there are more chinese influence in Malaysia now than its original native influence which is the Malay influence and culture. The malays were sided away and the chinese monopolize everything in Malaysia now . From the media, businesses, signboards, socially, tourism and even housing. The Malaysian chinese in malaysia also rejected the country National Language which is the Malay Language. So, Visiting Malaysia nowadays is like visiting HK or taiwan or even China. The really hidden culture in Malaysia now are the Malay influence. You wont find Malay influence in big cities in KL or penang. Most of big cities in Malaysia are monopolized by the chinese . You can find the original Malaysian malay culture and influence in villages.
