(1) Malaysia Struggles for Harmony As Tensions Bubble: Malaysia is proud of
its diverse population, more than half of which is Muslim. It is also home
to large Chinese and Indian communities, who are mainly Christian, Buddhist
and Hindu. But, as Jennifer Pak discovers, recent violence surrounding the
use of the word Allah by non-Muslims, has brought into question just how
unified Malaysia is. BBC, Feb. 20, 2010.

Quote:

"'I know a lot about these girls [from China come here to work as
prostitutes],' he [Mr. Ng, owner of a street stall at Kuala Lumpur] said in
Chinese, handing me his mobile number on a crumpled business card.

"I remembered reading about how Chinese prostitutes were in high demand in
Malaysia because of their 'fair skin' and 'statuesque figure.'

"'None of the local Chinese are willing to go into the industry,' said Mr Ng
, leaning back in his chair. 'They're more educated here.'
