Inter-racial marriage

I think Ill be writing a few posts on inter-racial marriage. Because I have a bit of experience in this field. Not just because I'm the product of one, but also because in Besut, there are loads of kampung kids getting hitched with foreigners. I believe Besut would probably score higher than average in an 'inter-racial index' if there ever was one. These kampung kids pwn those overseas student noobs in fact. Here's a list of the race of some of those married to locals i know or have heard of. Of course there are many more.


Race--------Number--------Sex
Japanese --------1---------1 Female
British-----------4---------1 Female, 3 Male
Italians----------1--------- 1 Female
Norwegians------1---------1 Female
Australians ------1 --------Can’t remember lolz
Chinese ---------2 ---------2 Male
Egyptians -------1 -------- 1 Male

Some interesting facts:
All the girls in the table met their spouses on Perhentian Island.
Two of the British guys have been here since the 1940’s – and have never been back to England since then. They’re more Malaysian than anybody!
Two marriages in the table have ended in divorce.
The two Chinese are local Chinese.
One of the British girls has been a Muslim for 2 years before she married the local.
Everyone in the table are Muslim reverts except the Egyptian.

A lot of these guys have some interesting stories to tell, especially the pre-merdeka ones. Some sad stories too. I might blog about those sometime!
