Most Malaysian Muslims of Chinese descent today are converts to Islam. They are a legacy of their own, having no ancestral links to any Islamic roots in China. Malaysian Chinese who come to Islam are from all kinds of backgrounds. Being a group of Muslims who are Chinese yet Malaysian but with no ancestral roots of Islam in China, the Malaysian Chinese Muslims are faced with the task of carving their identity in this country. They are faced with this question: How am I a Muslim, yet Chinese, and appear Malaysian?
