Other Cultures
Chinese and Indian cultures are also an important part of Malaysian culture because of the significant population of Chinese and Indians in the country. South Asian girls typically wear the sari, which is a loosefitting colourful robe that can be worn in a number of different styles. Chinese girls have mostly adopted Western-style dress but also wear the traditional cheongsam, a silk skirt that is often red with intricate designs. Girls wear these a little more casually and loose fitting than adults.
