Should we say Malaysian or Malayan? Both! In fact, it all depends on the context, because the two terms do not have exactly the same meaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Malaysian Malay, Chinese, Indian<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One can be Malaysian, that is to say of Malaysian nationality, without being Malaysian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Malaysians <\/strong>are the nationals of Malaysia. When we talk about something related to the country, we use the adjective Malaysian \/ Malaysian<\/em>. For example: the Malaysian Prime Minister, a Malaysian company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Malaysians<\/strong> are the country's majority ethno-linguistic and historical community. Chinese and Indian communities are also important in Malaysia, and there are also indigenous communities in Borneo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
