Answer:
I disagree. I think that contrary to the assertion, Malaysians are caring. To agree to the question would be to make an error of hasty generalisation.
Step-by-step explanation:
When you encounter a Malaysian, the probability that he or she is an indigene, a Chinese or an Indian is one of three.
Contrary to the assertion in the question, Malaysians care deeply about family work and their National Heritage.
If you got into a conversation with a Malaysian about any of these three topics, you are most likely to have a pleasant conversation if you are polite, well versed and keep out of North American Politics.
Another misconception about Malaysians is that they don't take to the public display of emotions. They are very reserved, courteous and discreet. This may be interpreted by a first time visitor who is American as uncaring.
Malaysians also appreciate it when foreigners take a liking to their native cuisine, culture, language and traditions.
Cheers!
