Malaysia is one of the multi-cultural countries in the world and not just black or white, we're talking about Muslims, Christians and Buddhists. How in the world can you make religion harmony out of these 3 religious sectors?
Take this for example, a muslim cannot join a non-muslim people when dining in a non-muslim restaurant. Right?
A bit off topic, but for me, this kind of setting is absolutley inconvenient.
Even Singapore and Hong Kong has never been settled by Latin-Americans...
Manila is obviously at the top.
Singapore does not have any Latin-Americans in it. Whereas the district of Cavite in Manila, where people speak Caviteño Chavacano are descended from Mexicans and Colombians.
Most multicultural from international tourists visit:
Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket (most touristy cities of Thailand)
Macau
Shanghai
Siam Reap
Bali - city: Kuta, Ubud pretty much almost anywhere touristy, except Denpasar and its surrounding countryside which is not touristy.
Most multicultural society:
Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Malacca (any Malaysian cities with large Chinese and Indian population)
Singapore
Hong Kong
Dubai
Jerusalem, Tel Aviv (Full of Jews from various places and Palestinians)
Kathmandu (Indian and Tibetan living side by side, quiet diverse place but not as diverse as others)
Urumqi (Mongols, Hui, Han, and various ethnics living near to Russo and Central Asia border)

Ummmmm Jakarta also have Arabs, Indian, Chinese, Dutch, Japanese and even more with international expat (Even North Koreans in the embassy), but i wouldn't call it a very "multicultural ones" since its still predominantly local and pretty much you wouldn't see that many foreigners. You can even add the Papuans too in the city.
Kuala Lumpur is on the top for me when it comes to society with huge Arabs, Pakistani, Cambodian etc migrants or Singapore with many expat from around the world. Even Dubai is very diverse place...

True even in Indonesia pork is sold next to halal stall... but well that's different rule they had, because they're Islamic nation. Tony Romas here is served with alcohol :P people who's more religious just don't order those.
In terms of ethnicity/culture - ethnic groups, languages, religion, cultural customs, cuisine, as well as internationality, no. expats.
I would say the top 10:
1. Singapore
2. Dubai
3. Kuala Lumpur
4. Istanbul
5. Hong Kong
6. Shanghai
7. Mumbai
8. Manila
9. Beijing
10. Bangkok
4 Islanbul - basically full of Turks, there's minority of Armenians and Greek, but its definitely not that multicultural.
7 Mumbai - not multicultural, full of Indian, not that many tourists either or expat..
8 Manila - full of Filipinos, minority of Mestizo and expat, couldn't really call it that multicultural either.
9 Beijing - lots of tourists but still lack multicultural aspect in any way
Manila is only multi-cultural when it comes to different Filipino ethnic groups, but I don't know if that counts. And there are a fair amount of Chinese and Muslim Filipinos. That's the extent to the multi-culturalness of Manila
Mumbai is one of the most multicultural cities in Asia(however, it has nothing on places like New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, or London). Dozens of languages are spoken there, most major world religions are well represented ( I'd say every, but Shintoism isn't well represented; but let's be honest, it isn't well represented anywhere outside of Japan), people from every part of India live there, and it has a fair number of expats. I'd place it in the top five in Asia.
