every "foreign" show we get, its either dubbed or subbed. 95% of them are subbed though. Usually they would sub Chinese/Cantonese shows and English shows. Dubs? Anime.

Why do they do that? Well, cuz Bahasa Malaysia or the Malay language is the national language and anyone in Malaysia definitely understands abd speaks em (even a lil). Cuz its an absolute compulsory subject in all schools from Primary to Secondary. That and alot of Malays love chinese/cantonese drama serials.
They are begining to love anime as well.. Ngahahahahaa!

The downside to it is that its dubbed.... in... Malay. :(
