Different definitions of "culture" reflect different theoretical and the culture of peoples theirselves around the world. In Malaysia, culture is manifested in music, literature, painting and sculpture, theater and film. For example we have 'dikir barat'(music), 'mak yong' and 'wayang kulit'(theater) and many more.
