Socio-economic and cultural sustainability of Muslims in Georgetown World Heritage site. Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences, 85. 217 -226. ISSN 1877-0428 (2013)
Abstract
Georgetown World Heritage Site (GWHS) is known as a potpourri of various ethnic groups who have settled in the area during various periods of the past 300 years. Chinese are the majority although Muslims (Malays) were earliest settlers and once the majority. This paper analyzes the socio-economic and cultural sustainability of the Muslim around Masjid Kapitan Kling and Masjid Melayu, known as the Muslim enclave. While the Indians Muslims are doing rather well socio-economically, the same cannot be said of the Malays. This has grave implications to the socio-economic and cultural sustainability of the Muslims, especially the Malays.
