The ethnic identity and social visibility of Hakka themselves are two major topics in the Hakka researches. Therefore, the ethnicity, social visibility and the relationship with local ethnic groups are the focal concerns of this paper. This paper, besides data from related documents, is based on interviews conducted on overseas Hakka students at the National Central University. Malaysia is a country with multiple cultures and multiple ethnic groups, each demonstrating its peculiar culture. Here Chinese people were generally categorized into Hakkas, Fujianese, and Cantonese. Contrasting to the Indians and the Malays, the Hakkas existed as a sub-grouping of Chinese people with no apparent peculiarities from the perspectives of religion, food, and even language, though not totally un-identifiable, they were un-manifested.Situations are so in the public domain, and are vanishing in the private families. In the society of Southeast Asia, the Hakkas are un-apparent in both public and private arenas. There is no clear sense of Hakka identity, nor any aggressive measure taken to prevent its language from vanishing. |
