Malayness

Malayness refers to the cultural identity of the people who identify as Malay. It encompasses their beliefs, customs, values, language, traditions, and way of life. Think of it like a secret club with a unique set of rules and traditions that only certain people can join.

Being Malay means you might have certain physical features, like dark hair and eyes, or that you might speak Malay as your first language. But it's also something deeper than that – it's about the way you think, act, and understand the world around you.

For example, Malayness might be reflected in the types of food you like to eat or the way you celebrate certain holidays. It might also be reflected in your beliefs about family, community, and religion.

Overall, malayness is a way for people who identify as Malay to connect with one another and celebrate their shared heritage and culture.
