I'm SEA

By blood, I'm malay with Javanese ancestry... so yeah I root from the same asian maid servant people. I know some say, the east asians are not as beautiful as the maghribiyyah (west). But like any other race, I think some can be pretty. (◠v◠)v & since ancient times, perhaps the 15th century, the land has been a melting pot of races. واختلاف ألسنتكم وألوانكم [Q30:22], لتعارفوا [Q49:13] People came by trade route (Arabs, Indian, Chinese) or spreading the empire (Portuguese, Dutch, British). If I may introduce the queen of championing the eastern  malay culture - from baju kurung, songket, cucuk sanggul to pantun etc. She is Sharifah Azah Aziz Alsagoff. & in her youth, she looks more like Elizabeth Taylor. [her daughter Zeti Akhtar] ماشاء الله
