we already know that. just answer the question.

and again, what's up with Type C people here
not understanding Islamic lifestyle ≠ Arabic culture
Malay don't dress like Arabs, speaks Arabic, cook Arabic food or consume Arab pop culture.

Purdah or wearing tudung is popular now because of the Islamization of media, that is true.
It does come to peer pressure as well.

Regarding Arabic food, it is the influx of Syrian war refugee around early 2010.
Most of them are Syrian and Afghan. Even the Arab square in BB was way before the war.
And the Lebanese restaurants along (where the new Damascus) the street existed was in 2000.
Lebanese used to be popular in my area back in 2000.
Lebanese is de facto Arab food.

Well, no one talks about the Korean and Japanese culture boom in BB, right?
Only the small patch of Arab corner in BB.

Purdah itself is a Hini-Urdu-Persian word
Where is your ARAB culture here?

Most of Islamification of old Malaysia comes from Indian traders and only a fraction of it are from Yemenis.

Afghan is not Arab, they speaks Pashtun,
Pakistan is no Arab, they speaks Urdu
Iranian are no Arab, they speaks Farsi

face covering is widely used in all ancient cultures including the west.
Where u think wedding veils came from?
It is as old as Roman and Greek.

Malay, Aghan, Pakistan and Iranian wears Purdah because of Islam, not because they embrace Arab culture

Does that answers your question?

Yeah, simple question - Malay wear purdah because of religion or because of culture?

What a dumb argument, u are clearly dumb, talking from your ass

Do you think the replacements words solat, musollah, wudhu is Arabification rather than Islamification?
If you meet a fellow Non Malay Muslim who doesn't speak Malay, which word makes more sense in conversations?

"let's go to surau so that we can sembahyang and buka puasa" OR
"let's go to Musollah so that we can do Solat and Iftar"

It is to make the conversation universal rather than regional
