It's not actually just Malays fasting, but generally, Muslims. Muslims practice the Five Pillars of Islam which include fasting in the month of Ramadan. Muslims must not eat or drink (among other things) from dawn to dusk during this month, and must be mindful of other sins. The fast is to encourage a feeling of nearness to God, and during it Muslims should express their gratitude for and dependence on him, atone for their past sins, and think of the needy.

If Malaysian are Malays how about Indonesian?
I already see a problem, with this question that starts with the title. Not all Malaysians, are ethnic Malays. Although yes, ethnic Malays do form a 60% majority of Malaysia's population. The other 40% of Malaysia's population are ethnic Indians, Han Chinese and some indegenous groups. Malaysia's population isn't really that diverse. Indonesia on the other hand, is one of Southeast Asia's most diverse countries. You are to understand that, "Indonesian" is not an ethnicity but rather a nationality. There are MANY ethnic groups in Indonesia. And guess what? Malays are one of them. Indonesians are also ethnic Malays, but not all Indonesians are Malays. Sure, there are a lot of Malays in Indonesia and most of Indonesian culture is based off of Malay culture. But ethnic Malays are only about 10-30% of Indonesia's population. They mostly live in Borneo, Sulawesi (formerly "Celebes"), Sumatra's western coasts and they form a minority population in Java. So if, only 30% of Indonesians are ethnic Malays at the most; then what are the ethnic groups that make up Indonesia? Most of Indonesia's population are Javanese, and they make up about 50-60% of Indonesia's population. Javanese people are not Malays, although they closely related to ethnic Malays. Javanese people also have their own language, the Javanese language along with Indonesian; the national language of Indonesia. Malays and Javanese do look a like, because they share the Austronesian origin.
