Malaysia has 60% local Malaysian,　30% ethnic Chinese, and 10%　other races like Indian.
Before the independent year 1957, Malaysia was governed first by Portugal, then the Netherlands, and then Britain.
There are various kinds of languages spoken in Malaysia.
I hired a guide, who spoke English, Malay, Cantonese, Fujian (Chinese dialect), and Mandarin.
She said that Cantonese is more widely spoken than Mandarin in Malaysia.
