Diversity and Racism in Petaling Jaya, Selangor
two local expertsLeave a comment
Be open to the city life, as my city has become exceedingly developed over the years. There are many malls and eateries scattered all over, so it is easy to socialise with friends as there are many fun activities, such a bowling and karaoking. The city is filled with so much cultural diversity, it is a wonderful place to grow up and live.
Cultural sensitivities which transcend different races but nevertheless are part and parcel of the lifestyle here. This would include social behaviour and norms like whether you should shake hands or just greet politely without contact or even your form of dressing. Most importantly, be vary of religious beliefs which in a multicultural setting could lead to misunderstandings.
