MALAY DIASPORA - CHRISTMAS ISLANDS


Christmas and Cocos (Keeling) are small groups of islands to the southwest of Java and northwest of Australia. Malay communities have settled on them generations ago. Due to their smallness in number they are close knit which enable them to maintain much of their culture.

The Malays of Cocos (Keeling) islands are already presented in an earlier blog post.
