I find "join in Malaysian life" incorrect, because you can "join in" a game, the fun or other activities but you can't join in some kind of life. I think here we'd better off saying "join Malaysian life". Is that OK?I threw my magazine into the waste basket and decided to join in Malaysian life. Then everything came alive. The mountains seemed to speak to me. Even the trees were smiling. I stared at everything as if I was looking at it for the first time.
No. Join in works there. It means taking part in all the activities that are part of Malaysian life.
