Is Malaysia an apartheid state?

[mileslunn]

It didn't seem like an apartheid state when I was there in November 2015.  The Chinese tend to be a bit wealthier despite the affirmative action Malays benefit from, then again I am not an expert on the internal politics.  In terms of segregation, no more so than many Western countries in terms of ethnic enclaves although not living there cannot comment on what opportunities are like for each group as that is an important factor to consider.  One thing I did notice is Malaysia has a much higher standard of living than most Southeast Asian countries (Brunei and Singapore are the only higher) and seemed quite modern and developed compared to the other countries I visited in that part of the world.
