Not my definitions.

you posted it, so you took ownership.  Don't dodge the question.

I used to travel to Penang a lot and was considering buying property there. One day I was reading the paper and the headline was “fatwa issued against yoga”. That’s right, they thought by practicing yoga, you were going to convert religions. Not that I could care less about yoga, but that’s the mentality of people running the place. Didn’t buy property there and never looked back. 

Traditional yoga did have a strong spiritual/religious aspect to it before it was hijacked by oversized western feminists in spandex

In Malaysia, the early colonial censuses listed separate ethnic groups, such as "Malays, Boyanese, Achinese, Javanese, Bugis, Manilamen (Filipino) and Siamese". The 1891 census merged these ethnic groups into the three racial categories used in modern Malaysia—Chinese, ‘Tamils and other natives of India’, and ‘Malays and other Natives of the Archipelago’. This was based upon the European view at the time that race was a biologically based scientific category. For the 1901 census, the government advised the word "race" should replace "nationality" wherever it occurs.^[9]

After a period of generations of being classified in these groups, individual identities formed around the concept of bangsa Melayu (Malay race). For younger generations of people, they saw it as providing unity and solidarity against colonial powers, and non-Malay immigrants. The Malaysian nation was later formed with the bangsa Melayu having the central and defining position within the country.^[9]

how does the bumiputra concept fit into your definitions....

Just gathering information norrska, I will decide when it goes on the classified section. 

Sorry, with the photo, it looked like an advertisement, but I see the photo has now been removed.

Yep, I've been in government hospital, everyone at doctor level spoke good enough English.

Nurses not so much, but it's not as if you really need to speak with anyone.

It is kind of important if you don't want the wrong leg to be amputated.

Thanks Alex - nice pointer!

Fantastic news!
