Abstract: Ethnic diversity in Malaysia is a challenge in creating a harmonious society. Social interactions reveal the social condition of the society whether they have social integration or vice versa. Ethnic relations form discriminatory, competitive, conflicting relationships that affect the relationship of the community. A study on 300 respondents is conducted through questionnaires and observation method examined the relationship between ethnic communities in the Section 2, Wangsa Maju, Kuala Lumpur community. The forms of social interaction within the community will certainly determine the level of social integration between them. This research shows that the majority of social interactions in the community are still influenced by ethnicities that lead to prejudice, stereotyping and ethnocentrism. These factors then form a variety of patterns and forms of interaction in the community whether conflicted, competing, discriminating, cooperating or uncooperative. Integrated platform concept has been used to describe the situation in the community. The findings have shown that social interactions at the individual level show more negative influences than positive aspects. However, the analysis of the findings illustrated in terms of the concept of integration platform shows that individual incidents and attitudes towards different ethnic groups are a journey to the existence of adaptation in establishing mutual understanding within the framework of social interaction.
