I thought I'd put this on record.
When grandpa moved from Fujian province in China to Malaya, he married a Malay girl (from Kuala Kangsar, I believe) and begat 7 kids, including my father. Mom is pure Chinese. So I'm actually 1/4 Malay. You didn't need to convert back in those days, which is why I'm not a Muslim.
My wife's maternal great-grand mother was Javanese. So she's 1/8 Javanese and 7/8 Chinese.
Which makes my kids ... you do the math!
They say there is a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. Malaysia has been a melting pot of colours from all over. So who's pinched the gold?
