Ynnatchkah,
Malaysia is not occupied by 78%. It's more like 60% - that is, if you don't count the amount of bodies the Islamic authorities snatched by claiming that the persons converted shortly before their deaths - despite the fact that they many were in comatose states.
Malaysia has not yet degenerated into Indonesia, Pakistan or Afgahnistan. Not yet anyway but surely, it's on the path there. Alas, the destiny of muslims states.
The second large portion of the population - the chinese, are leaving the country rapidly. Not able to find economic opportunities in Malaysia resulting from apartheid, err, affirmative polcies to favour the Malays, these chinese find themselves very marketable outside the country. Their ability to converse in Mandarin, English, and Malay land them job opportunities around the globe - such as in Singapore, China, Australia and the UK. The ability to "tolerant" Islamic crap, as a result of living amongst them for decades, cause them to fare quite well in the Middle East as well. The mass migration results in wealth being brought out of the country.
In short, the Malays will soon overwhelm the nation as a majority race. Then, the decline will be rapid from then on.
