Malaysia was once colonized by Portugal, the Netherlands, Britain, Japan and other countries, so the cultures of these countries have a certain influence on Malaysia. Among them, Britain's influence was the most prominent, especially in modern times. This is also the reason why English is still popular in Malaysia, and English is also one of the compulsory subjects in primary and secondary schools in Malaysia. Other languages in Malaysia are also popular for reasons.

The reason why many cultures in Malaysia collide with each other is that Malaysia has a large immigrant population. Most of the immigrants under the stage are Chinese, among which Guangdong, Fujian and other China areas have relatively large immigrant populations. Therefore, Mandarin is also one of the most commonly used languages in Malaysia. This language is mainly used for communication between Chinese, and it is also the common language of Chinese groups, which is very important in business communication.
