[edit] Template

i made 3 templates here Template:Ethnic groups in Malaysia. its not really complete though. any comments? kawaputra 13:00, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

I like the first one. It is the most organised. Comment about the second one- the number of population is dynamic (meaning changing a lot), so it is not good to keep it as a template. The 3rd one is unorganised. My 2 sen. --Zack2007 13:04, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
hi zack. i suddenly have reservation on having separate class of "indeginous" and "non-indeginous". i think there shouldnt be a separation. its gonna get political. we should start looking at ourselves as equals. in the end, everyone is a Malaysian. what u think. i'll try find other templates. kawaputratok2me 05:24, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sources

Can anyone provide a source for the 2006 pop for malaysia? The article states 24mil but the statistics dept rounded it at 26.64. A margin of 2.25 million people is quite a number, isn't it ? Cheers --Bukhrin 15:13, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

yes. i also have 26,640,200 in 2006, according to "Key data (2006)", Department of Statistics, Malaysia. kawaputratok2me 05:28, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
