So why do monk in Malaysia do not eat meat? just only the 10 animal is forbidden to eat by Buddha only, cow, chicken also can be eat what?

See - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhist_vegetarianism Buddhism is follow buddha, but why people do not follow the step of buddha and create different branch? this also will create extreme? So not eating beef is from Buddhism or Taoism?

Different branches because Buddhism tend to allow local cultures and norms to be taken in to "customize" itself to that place. Something like that. So, you have Theravada in Sri Lanka, Mahayana in China. There is also the Tibetan branch. Nothing extreme. All say the same thing in essence; i.e. the Path to Enlightenment. Not eating beef has more to do with Kuan Yin. Kuan Yin is in both Buddhism and also Taoism (I think). Thanks for the advice..
