I don't think this is necessarily true for non-Muslims living there. I have a friend who was raised Buddhist in Kuala Lumpur and her upbringing was very very Westernized. She grew up speaking English, went to a British school, wore jeans and tee shirts (obviously she didn't wear a headscarf), went to the malls all of the time, listened to British and American rock music, followed the NBA, and ended up at an American university (Duke) . . .
It sounds like the major difference is that while the rules once only applied to Muslims, now they apply to everyone.
