Considering this multi-culturalism, multi-religion and multi-lingual as a wealth, thus they are struggling together to create a strong society. In many fields such as Islamic economy, banking, and halal food, she is able to play a pioneering role in the application of Islamic law in a modern state, yet it has many momentous works in the race to become a central country. In terms of historical experience, with her strategical position, Malaysia has been the centre of serious occupations, thus it has been struggling to get rid of the traces of many colonial states, colonial psychology and trying to wrap their wounds. Despite the bitter memories of the colonial countries in the past, brotherly and friendly aids she has seen from the Ottoman State left a firm mark on the depths of her memory. Now, it’s struggling to carry together with different ethnic structures to the future in harmony and peace in which she has a model structure that can set an example for other countries. However, trying to compare Malaysia with Turkey may cause incorrect consequences. It is unthinkable comparing Turkey, which has no colonial past and has a relatively low population of non-Muslims, with Malaysia.
