Malay, Malays, Melayu
Malay is a race of people who are often subject to racial discrimination and stereotypical prejudices by the narrow-minded people of other races. (NOT to say that other races are narrow-minded, with the exceptions of several of those who are overly radical anti-Malays).

A majority of Malay people emphasize on ethical customs, are actually very competent and capable.

With the growth of urbanization, malay traditional customs tend to be combined with Western culture for the lifestyles of several Malays inhabiting this world.

Malays do not ONLY reside in Malaysia. They also reside in Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei and a lot of other countries.
