For example, the Indonesian ethnic group was represented by Susanti, the Indian nation was represented by Jarjit Singh, Rajoo, and Uncle Muthu, the Chinese were represented by the figures Meimei and Koh Ah Tong from the Chinese ethnic group, as well as the main character Upin Ipin and other figures representing the ethnic group.
