"the WEIRD culture"? Also, what about Lain Lain? Tiara (talk) 11:13, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Improvement suggestions.
I was just thinking to make some additional topics and perhaps remove some topics in order to improve this article. I was thinking maybe we could expand more on religion and the role it plays in shaping culture and society here. A bit of politics as well. Division between Bumiputras and non-bumiputras. Maybe the "Ethnic groups" section should be renamed and that we should not list out every ethnic groups in the country. Just a summary. And finally to lighten things up, we could expand more on cultural similarities of all Malaysians, modern culture, city life, rural life, etc. Any comments/suggestions welcomed. ќמшמφטтгמ torque 08:07, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Good idea on the light subsections, as long as it is sourced. I don't think too much politics would be a good idea, not so much "culture", though it is related. A relationship between the ethnic groups and their unique cultures is what I think the current section should be. That would work well with a cultural similarity section. Perhaps the ethnic part should focus on the unique bits, leaving the rest of the article to discuss the overall. Chipmunkdavis (talk) 10:49, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

Sports
Added this subsection (hidden for now), thought it was relevant. Any suggestions for how it should look? I feel that the traditional sports should be expanded, a few sentences for each traditional sport would be good, with a summary of history, current events, and current importance. Maybe a paragraph on this. Another paragraph on modern sports, perhaps with a similar history and current status, although these could be less focused on as they are all elements of popular culture, while each traditional sport I feel has more to do with culture. A slight expansion of a third paragraph focusing on sport competitions with other countries may be good. I think the section shouldn't get much longer than 3 (maybe four) paragraphs, and should not be a detailed look at each sport. Hopefully that sort of thing could one day be on the main sports page, when that comes out of its terrible startclass. Chipmunkdavis (talk) 10:49, 5 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Sounds fine. We could add one part briefly on the popular sports played by Malaysians in school, work, etc. (eg Badminton, Football). And then, like u said, professionally in the local and international stage. And trad. sports. ќמшמφטтгמ torque 03:31, 6 October 2010 (UTC)


 * I agree. Also, a section on dress would be good too. I started an article on baju kurung a while back; I'll see what can be done here.

Literature
Anyone have a source about Lat and its relevance to Malaysian literature? I find it hard to imagine a section on Malaysian literature without a mention of Lat, although that may just be my bias. Chipmunkdavis (talk) 15:20, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

Another source about dress conservatism in Malaysia?
