Abstract: Malaysia, being a multi-cultural country, is well known of its richness in various cultures and customs practiced by different numbers of races. As a result of this integration, a positive interaction between them is perceived, and to some extent, the traditions and cultures of a certain race may be assimilated and practiced by others as a routine in their daily lives. Occasionally, a majorly dominant culture has a much stronger influence towards those of a less dominant one in the context of its practices, culture, customs and religious sensitivities. This study focuses on the influence of the Malay culture, the major ethnic group in Malaysia, towards the minority group of the Straits Chinese community whom are the descendants of the Chinese immigrants, migrated centuries ago. This paper will discuss on the influence of culture and religion towards the Chinese community of Kampung Pasir Parit, Pasir Mas, Kelantan, which includes their lifestyle, culture, architecture, language and mutual respect for the Islamic religion that is embraced by the Malay community around their village.
