The population is rich in cultural diversity. The three main ethnic groups – Muslims, Chinese and Indians – are the inheritors of ancient innovative civilisations that were centres of scholarship. Knowledge spurred their inventiveness and innovations long before Europe emerged from the backwardness of the Middle Ages.Dr Lim, since when is Muslim is an ethnic group? Am I been naive or simply I got my history wrong?

DUBAI, Aug 31 (Bernama) -- Students in the Middle East intending to pursue their studies in Malaysia can rest assured of getting high quality education in the Southeast Asian nation, said an official at the Malaysia Education Promotion Centre (MEPC) Dubai office.-
MEPC regional director for Middle East and North Africa, Sushilil Azam Shuib, said only the best Malaysian institutions of higher learning were being allowed to tap the Middle East market.
"This is important in terms of maintaining quality and upholding our reputation as it also involves ties between Malaysia and other countries," he told Bernama.
Shushilil Azam reckoned that Malaysia was held in high esteem by many countries in this region, such as Libya and Sudan.
"We don't want parents to send their children to study at dubious institutions in Malaysia and return to their own countries a few years later, only to find that their degrees are not recognised.
"This can tarnish the image of our country," he said.
Elaborating, Shushilil Azam said Malaysian education institutions should fulfil certain criteria before being permitted to recruit foreign students.
"They include a conducive learning environment, good facilities, good lecturers and reasonable costs," he said.
Malaysian institutions of higher learning were hosting 19,467 Middle East students as of April 2009.
MEPC Dubai is targeting to have 25,000 students from the Middle East by the end of this year.

MELBOURNE, Aug 18 (Bernama) - The city of Ipswich, about 40km from Brisbane, has dedicated a new 18-hectare park in Redbank Plains to a much-loved Malaysian doctor who has served the local community for more than 35 years.
Mayor of Ipswich Paul Pisasale said the park was named after Dr Kamalakaran 'Harry' Ratnam "to celebrate his professionalism, dedication, loyalty and compassion to the Ipswich community".
"Dr Ratnam, who arrived in Australia, and in Ipswich in 1981 with his wife Raji after an invitation from the Agent General of Queensland in England, has served the community ever since, and I believe it is fitting for this magnificent park to be named after him," he said.
In 2007, Dr Ratnam, who is the younger brother of former judge R. K. Nathan and a first cousin of billionaire Tan Sri T. Ananda Krishnan, was awarded the prestigious Order of Australia Medal on the Queen's birthday honours list for service to medicine in Ipswich.
"I never dreamed in my life that I would get an Order of Australia and then a park named after me," he said. "I never expected to be rewarded in this way." Dr Ratnam, who had his early education at St John's Institution, Bukit Nanas, Kuala Lumpur completed his schooling in Dublin, Ireland. He then entered the Royal College of Surgeons and Physicians in Dublin, graduating in 1977.
Since coming to Ipswich, Dr Ratnam has served on many health and welfare committees, especially with the elderly.
It even prompted Jo-Ann Miller, Queensland State parliamentary secretary to the minister of health, to refer Dr Ratnam as "an absolute hero" in Queensland State Parliament in April 29, 2004.
Ipswich city coucillor Victor Attwood, who proposed the park be named after Dr Ratnam, said he did it "in celebration of the work done in this area by Dr Harry Ratnam".
Queensland multi-millionaire Maha Sinnathamby, formerly of Rembau, Negeri Sembilan said Dr Ratnam should be "very proud of his achievements".
"The whole community of Ipswich loves this man. He has done a lot for them," said Sinnathamby, who has a boulevard named after him.
Most of the 200 people who attended the launch of the park at the weekend were Dr Ratnam's patients.
