How culture can affect Malaysia as a multicultural society?
It is only influenced ethnic Malays, to a certain extent. Because ethnic Malays, are highly devout Muslims. Even Malay celebrities like Yunalis Zarai and Siti Nurhaliza wear the hijabs when they're doing their music performances and such. As Malays, do not like sexual exposure like the stuff Lady Gaga and Katy Perry does. I remember, reading an article where Malaysian people weren't happy with Mariah Carey's live performance because she was showing to much sexual influence. If Lady Gaga and Katy Perry tried to do a live performance in Malaysia, Indonesia or even Brunei (if the sultan even allowss it); they wouldn't be able to do much but sing. Nothing more.
As for food, western influence is not really found in Malay cuisine. Chinese, Indian and Arab influences are found bulging high in Malay cuisine. But not really pizza, burgers and stuff. They do exist in Malaysia, but not as popular with ethnic Malays. The fast food restaurants in Malaysia have halal certifications and requirements. Meaning by Malaysian law, these fast food restaurants are required to follow Islamic rituals. Such as shutting down during the day on the holy month of Ramadan and such. The Chinese restaurants a lot of times exempt themselves from this rule. Ethnic Malays, are not a very high Asian population in the United States either. Maybe there's some Malaysians in the United States, but chances are they are Malaysian-Indians or Malaysian-Chinese; not ethnic Malays. Malaysia, is a good enough country with a good economy and living conditions. There's really no need for Malaysian-Malays to immigrate to America. Not as high as Chinese, Indians or Filipinos.
English, is influencing just about every other language. The French, are monitering the French language like dead strict, because English words are creeping slowly in the French. The Filipino language, is becoming more like Filienglish now. The Malay language, is just like French. It is not becoming influenced by English. Malay speakers won't allow English to influence Malay. Bahasa Melayu, Bahasa Brunei and Bahasa Indonesia are rather strictly monitered languages. Unlike Filipino. So no, there's not much western influence on ethnic Malays except for being advanced on technology and all. Malays are not big fans of western influence. Filipinos are no longer considered ethnic Malays anymore, since Filipinos get too much westernized and sexual. Filipinos were once, called ethnic Malays. But no longer, because Filipinos don't speak Malay and are too westernized.

Why was the Swan River selected as a settlement site?
There was considerable fear in England that the French were going to establish a penal colony in the western part of Australia (possibly at Shark Bay). As a result, the Colonial Office finally assented to Captain James Stirling's request (made several months prior) that a "free" (as opposed to convict) colony be established in the Swan River area with himself as its governor.
Stirling's argument was based on the fact that, following his exploration of the Swan River area in 1828, he returned with glowing reports about the agricultural potential of the region. He wrote: "I represent it as the Land which, of all tht I have seen in various quarters of the World, possesses the greatest natural attractions... the Soil is admirably calculated for every Species of Cultivation; ... the territory is abundantly supplied with fresh Water."
Stirling went on to extol the virtues of a climate in which one could "labour throughout the day and in every Season of the Year". He also stated that the Swan River provided "safe anchorage" and could be made into "one of the finest harbours in the World."
Apart from the fact that the British did seek to offset any possibility of French settlement, the area was seen to have all the requirements to establish a colony which could become self-sufficient within a relatively short space of time.

What kind of government does Australia have right now?
Australia's government is a federal parliamentary democracy, with HM Queen Elizabeth II as head of state, meaning it is a constitutional monarchy. The head of government is given the title of Prime Minister. Each of the states also has its own government, which is led by the Premier. In the case of the Territories, the leader of the government is the Chief Minister.
In 1999, Australia voted against abolishing the monarchy in response to a referendum comprising loaded questions on methods of choosing a president.
Its Federal Government operates in a bi-cameral parliament with a Lower House whose members represent electoral districts within States and Territories, and an Upper House, the Senate, the members of which represent the States. This system draws on the British parliamentary system for the Lower House with the Senate containing many aspects of the American system, in contrast to the English House of Lords, the members of which are not elected but hold seats by entitlement of rank.
