Malaysia Boleh!

Is "Malay" a race or is it a legal status? As far as I know, you can choose your friends but you cannot choose your race. You are born into a certain race and you can do nothing to change that. The most you can do is to "live" the culture of those in a different race. Even so you would remain in the racial group you were born into. But there is now a motion to "change" race.... How will that work? What if a Malay requests to become a Red Indian? How will that work then?
