Nogen smaltedigel kan det vel ikke blive, da muslimske kvibnder vel
ikke må gifte sig med ikke-muslimer. Malaysia er et multi-etnisk
samfund, hvor de forskellige etniske grupper (først og frememst
muslimer, kinesere og indiske tamiltalende) hidtil har levet nogenlunde
fredeligt side om side. Malajerne er underksatet muslimske regler, som
ikke gælder for det to andre grupper. Det malajiske flertal her også
nogle privillegier i kraft af bumiputra-lovgivningen. Man er altså
ikke lige for loven i Malaysia. Det er nok i strid med diverse
menneskerettighedserklæringer.
