Full textAbstract:
Dain Said is one of the most reputable Malaysian film directors. Two of his films, Bunohan (2011) and Interchange (2016), not only won him awards for best film and best director but were also screened in many respected world film festivals. Bunohan and Interchange have a reputation of being different from many ordinary contemporary Malay films. Both films contain the similar theme of killing in their plots with a dark noirist approach, but killing is only on the surface of their multi-layered narratives. In both films, Dain is interested in the interweaving myth, imperialism and capitalism in the conflict of tradition and modernization. Even though myth has been imbued with fantastic elements, it becomes part of the ideological process of naturalization and has its own role in the origin of the race, history, and identity of a country. Colonialization and capitalism have been gradually destroying traditional cultures and myths that are part of a nation’s ideology. This essay analyzes how traditional cultures and mythologies should become the important elements in resisting the dangers of neo-colonialism that is called globalization. Here, the films Bunohan and Interchange have proved that Dain Said is a film auteur in his own class. Keywords: myth, colonialism, auteur, Malay film, neo-noir Abstract Dain Said salah seorang pengarah filem Malaysia yang berkemampuan tinggi. Dua filem arahannya, Bunohan (2011) dan Interchange (2016) bukan sahaja memenangi anugerah filem terbaik dan pengarah terbaik malah banyak ditayangkan di festival filem dunia yang berprestij. Bunohan dan Interchange berbeza dengan kebanyakan filem Melayu kontemporari. Kedua-dua filem memaparkan tema dan plot yang sama, iaitu pembunuhan dengan pendekatan noirist. Walau bagaimanapun pembunuhan hanya lapisan permukaan yang terdiri daripada beberapa lapis naratif. Dalam kedua-dua filem Dain berminat dengan menggabungkan mitos, imperialisme dan kapitalisme dalam konflik tradisi dan modern. Walaupun mitos bercampur dengan elemen fantasi, tetapi mitos menjadi sebahagian proses ideologi peneutralan. Mitos mempunyai peranannya dalam asal usul bangsa, sejarah dan identiti negara. Kolonialisasi dan kapitalisme dalam diam membunuh budaya tradisi dan mitos yang menjadi sebahagian daripada ideologi negara. Makalah ini menganalisis budaya tradisi dan mitos yang sepatutnya menjadi elemen penting dalam menolak perangkap neo-kolonialisme atau lebih dikenali sebagai globalisasi. Filem Bunohan dan Interchange membuktikan Dain Said sebagai filem auteur yang mempunyai kelasnya yang tersendiri. Keywords: myth, Colonialism, Auteur, Malay film, Neo-Noir

Crow, Karim Douglas. "Johan Fischer - Proper Islamic Consumption: Shopping Among the Malays in Modern Malaysia." ICR Journal 2, no. 1 (October 15, 2010): 208–10. http://dx.doi.org/10.52282/icr.v2i1.695.
Full textAbstract:
This is an excellent study both in substance and in conceptual refinement, opening up important perspectives on the particular mode of ‘Islamic modernity’ being achieved in Malaysia, and the dynamics of implanting globalised capitalist values within a major Muslim society. From 2001, Fischer did anthropological fieldwork into consumption patterns among Malay middle-class families at Taman Tun Dr Ismail (popularly known as ‘TTDI’), a major township in the western part of Kuala Lumpur. The book gives a refined presentation of research on consumption concerning issues of class, market relations and Islamic practice and identity, relating these to Islam-State relations in contemporary Malaysia. It could produce discomfort among many Muslims who might not appreciate or comprehend the portrait of Malaysian society reflected in the mirror of academic anthropology. Others with greater perception may experience the peculiar shock of self-recognition - similar to the experience of hearing one’s own recorded voice for the very first time - when they read of “middle-class Malays shopping for the state”.

Malaysia and Brazil has many similarities. In the 1500s the Portuguese was a mighty sea power and she went conquering faraway places. So both Brazil and Malaya were under the control of the Portuguese. Brazil is a much larger country and also nearer by sea to Portugal. So when other nations challenged the Portuguese they decided to focus on South America and so in 1640 the Dutch took over Malaya and Indonesia. By the 1700s the British began to move look towards the East for spices. They went to India and then came to Malaya. The Dutch decided to control Indonesia and so in 1780 the British took control of Malaya.

Nadarajah, Yaso. "Future past I am a coolie-al…and I reside as an invisible island inside the ocean: Tidalectics, transoceanic crossings, coolitude and a Tamil identity." Island Studies Journal 16, no. 1 (May 2021): 155–72. http://dx.doi.org/10.24043/isj.159.
Full textAbstract:
The politics of Tamil working-class identity in Malaysia continue to be articulated in subaltern terms, employing term such as ‘coolie’, which is elsewhere an archaic usage from colonial days. Yet the power of the coolie narrative appears salient, and the coolie odyssey is far from over. Drawing upon the author’s longitudinal work with a Tamil squatter settlement in the heart of the city of Kuala Lumpur in the Malay Archipelago, this paper moves from third to first and then second narrative to capture the broad range of ruptures and transformations of Tamil sensibilities, a ‘coolitude’ that grew a pattern of life which emerged from a journey that began on the sea. In this article, the author envisions the ‘black ocean’ as an invisible island; shaped by colonial and imperial histories, racial capitalism and ocean crossings. These transoceanic crossings carried the weight of Tamil histories, rooted in the seas as an invisible island—as both the rupture of an identity and a translation from western namings and discourses. What remains is the ‘island’, rooted in the seas as a colonial wound of history, a tidalectic between transoceanic migration, personhood and language. This community is more than just its resilience, its assertions of power, its affair with identity and belonging, and its response to deep social inequalities in its homeland. It is also a space of a poetics of resoluteness to recover an identity that is not fractured, not alienated from place and transoceanic crossings. This paper attempts a retelling of a hidden hyphen that held the labourer and the personhood apart, but also together. It navigates through the concept of tidalectics first postulated by Barbadian poet and historian Kamau Braithwaite (2003) in conjunction with Valentine Daniel’s (2008) The Coolie and Khal Torabully’s (1992) Coolitude. The paper seeks to understand more deeply the performativity of the hyphen as an invisible island inside the ocean.

Full textAbstract:
After the second world war, many Malay printing companies were formed to enliven the printing and newspaper industry in Malaya. Qalam Press was one of the Malay private printing companies established by Syed Abdullah bin Hamid Al-Edrus (Edrus), who played an important role in the publication of magazines, novels and religious works during the period stated. Qalam Press also has various strategies and ways to make the publications relevant and competitive compared to other printing companies. However, the publishing company also faced conflicts and problems of its own that caused various actions to be taken to resolve the problems mentioned. Thus, this research aims to evaluate Qalam Press's success in positioning themself as one of the leading Malay private printing companies in Malaya from 1948 to 1969. This research is qualitative historical research that also applies oral history methods. Research resources were obtained from the National Archives of Malaysia, IPTA Libraries throughout Malaysia, the National Library of Malaysia, government departments and others. The study found that Qalam Press succeeded in becoming one of the long-lasting Malay private printing companies in the printing industry due to various marketing and management strategies carried out by the company which is seen to help the development of Qalam Press. Keywords: Qalam Press, Malay Private Printing Company, Magazine, Novel, Religious Work.

Full textAbstract:
After independence, efforts to reconstruct the history of ancient Malaysia recorded by colonial scholars have been made. However, there are still poor explanations. Therefore, the following studies are the study of the history of the Malay community in a new interpretation. The methods used in this study are phenomenological. With this method it was found that the process of independence of Malaya in 1957 did not take place in the short run by the British and its elite, but it took a long time and made little sacrifice. It started in the form of awareness by scholars of Malay nationalism itself which unfortunately has been forgotten or closed their role by chroniclers.

Full textAbstract:
Drawing on archival sources in Britain, Singapore, Malaysia, and the United States, this article explores late-colonial anxieties about the influence of Chinese nationalism in Malaya (and especially among students in Chinese-medium schools) in the lead up to self-government in 1957. It demonstrates that the colonial fear of communism in Malaya was not always synonymous with the fear of cultural influence from “new China” and that the “rise of China” in the mid-1950s was viewed as a challenge to colonially sanctioned programs for “Malayanization.” More importantly, in exploring some of the ways in which the colonial state mobilized anti-communist cultural workers from Hong Kong to help counter the perceived threat from China, the article argues that more focus should be placed on the role of colonial agency in shaping “Sinophone” cultural expression in Southeast Asia during this period.

Full textAbstract:
The notion that tribal peoples are destructive of the forest environment is not a new one. The political struggles that fostered it are only just beginning to engage the attention of historians. This essay is a preliminary exploration of the experience of the indigenous minorities—the Orang Asli—of peninsular Malaysia during the period of colonial rule. It examines their relationship to the society outside the forest. The politics of the forest it addresses are not narrowly environmental. Indeed, what follows is based on the assumption that the relationship of the aborigines to their environment was transformed, not so much by the changing ecological conditions of the forest as the colonial economy expanded, but by the changing political circumstances of the frontier as the Orang Asli were drawn into a widening orbit of relations with external powers. ‘Orang Asli’ means literally ‘original people’. It is a polite term that took on a legal status from the 1950s. Before then, in common parlance, the aborigines were ‘Sakai‘—a derogatory term synonymous with ‘slave’. The term Orang Asli encompasses three basic types of communities: the Negritos, nomadic hunters and gatherers of the northern forests; the Senoi —whose two main subdivisions, the Temiar and the Semai, together make up the larger part of the Orang Asli population of the central highlands, following more settled forms of swidden agriculture; and the proto-Malays of the south, fishermen and cultivators with a more similar economy to neighbouring Malays.1Their shared history has become an issue of great sensitivity in modern Malaysia, and Malaysian politicians have in recent years bitterly questioned the legitimacy of western criticism of the present circumstances of the Orang Asli. To explain why this is so, I want to examine the preoccupations of British administration during the period when it was trustee of the forests of the peninsula and directly responsible for the welfare of their inhabitants. Three themes dominate the discussion that follows.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis article aims to highlight how knowledge played an integral role in the cultural reconstruction of the Malay world during the colonial period. The British produced knowledge about the Malays through scholarly writings in history books and the creation of the census report. This knowledge was, for the most part, constructed and did not necessarily correspond to the social reality of the Malays. The education system played a vital role in transmitting this knowledge to the masses, thus beginning a process of internalisation on their part. This led to a rapid disintegration of Malay cultural practices and way of life as they comprehended alien Western concepts, such as history, territory and community. The nationalist movement in present day Malaysia with its emphasis on race and boundaries attests to the degree to which the British has succeeded in transforming the identity of the Malays. The core of this paper is aimed at demonstrating the connection between British administrative procedures and its impact in reconstructing the thought patterns of the people. This permanent invasion upon the minds of the Malays can be said to the most lasting legacy of British colonial rule.

This paper aims to discuss the level of knowledge towards national language among university students in the higher institution of education (public and private) namely, i) history, ii) policy and iii) the position of Malay language in the world. Therefore, a study was conducted at Universiti Malaya, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Multimedia University and UNISEL, Selangor. A total number of 460 respondents were involved through stratified random sampling. The data were collected using questionnaires and was analyzed descriptively. The findings show that majority of IPT students have high knowledge in all dimensions, namely the history, policy and the position Malay language globally. However, there are some items in the section of policy and position of Malay language that indicated low level of knowledge. Hence, knowledge towards national language policy and the position of Malay language in the world should be enhanced through mass media or in the process of teaching and learning. This is vital so that students can have better appreciation of the Article 152 in the Malaysian Constitution which focuses on Malay language as the national language, the foundation for unity and building Malaysian civilization.

Namun, terdapat beberapa item dalam dimensi dasar dan kedudukan bahasa Melayu yang menunjukkan pengetahuan yang rendah. Justeru, pengetahuan mengenai dasar bahasa kebangsaan dan kedudukan bahasa Melayu di dunia perlu dipertingkatkan melalui media massa atau dalam proses pengajaran dan pembelajaran agar mahasiswa dapat lebih menghayati Perkara 152 Perlembagaan Malaysia mengenai bahasa Melayu sebagai bahasa kebangsaan yang menjadi teras kepada perpaduan seterusnya tamadun Malaysia.

In this obituary and research note, we dedicate our prayers and peaceful thoughts to the late Associate Professor Dr Hamidin Abdul Hamid (1970-2022), who recently passed away in the late afternoon of September 19, 2022. Malaysians knew him through his national television appearance, famous witty commentaries on national electoral issues, past adjuncts and visiting posts, and consultations. He will always be remembered for his contributions and legacy in advancing African Studies in Malaysia. To colleagues, former students, supervisees, and known associates and academic networks within and outside the circle of History, African Studies, Leadership, and Malaysian elections, his presence is always felt. We are always honoured to know his excellent works in many impactful ways. As part of this attribute to the late Dr Hamidin, the rest of this research note provides updates on current trends in Malaysia-Africa relations and African Studies at Universiti Malaya and in Malaysia generally. We also would like to express our sincere gratitude to SINERGI's Editor-in-Chief and the rest of her editorial team, UKM Press, and SPHEA, UKM, for allowing us to share our views on research in Africa-Malaysia relations.

Full textAbstract:
Museums play an important role in preserving and conserving all artifacts related to the past history as well as the heritage and culture of a society's civilization. Malaysia as a country that consists of various races and rich in various heritages and cultures, the museum institution plays an important role in preserving the heritage of knowledge for future generations. Museum institutions have undergone changes over time in producing an excellent management in preserving knowledge of past history. The development of museums at the European level is seen to have influenced the entry of the ideology of the field of museums in Malaysia. This study uses a qualitative method by analyzing the research data on the history of the development of museums in the world until it was brought in by the British colonial to Malaysia before independence. The focus of the study focuses on how and what is the influence brought by the west in museum institutions in Malaysia. The results show that, the Renaissance philosophy practiced by Europeans around the 14th century, has urged them to sail out to the ocean and explore other regions. This indirectly led to colonization of non-European territories. In the British colonial context, their arrival to colonize Malaya was not empty handed, but brought in colonial knowledge which later became the basis for the establishment of museum institutions in Malaysia. However, the interpretation of artifacts, history, heritage and culture that is euro-centric, led to the implementation of the decolonization of museums after independence. This is so that a local history can be interpreted correctly through the point of view and knowledge of the local community.

Full textAbstract:
This paper examines the political history of the relationship between Malaysia and Singapore, focusing on the notion of citizenship and its ethnic, civic and political dimensions. It analyses the extent to which the merger of Singapore with Malaysia redefined the citizenship boundaries of the Malaysian national political identity. The incorporation of Singaporean citizens into the Malaysian political community was controversial, as it was closely related to electoral stakes. The ruling People’s Action Party and the Alliance Party attempted to delineate the political sphere of the population of each political unit through the demarcation between ‘citizenship’ and ‘nationality’. However, the citizenship crisis continued to trouble the relationship of these states to the point that both parties breached the perceived agreement not to interfere with the other’s political sphere of influence. This sphere of influence was delineated on the basis of race, thus cutting across political territory rather than territorial attributes. The ideological clashes over the meaning of citizenship that arose during the political merger of Singapore and Malaya, show that a truly Malaysian citizenship could not be developed-only a Malaysia of citizens.

Full textAbstract:
This paper seeks to examine the legacy of the Omani presence in the states of Malaysia, which arguably has made itself apparent in the royal dress of the Kedah Sultanate. This discovery indeed calls for further investigation, especially on how the Omani dress later became a model for Kedah royal dress which is famously known as Baju Muskat. Further analysis is essential to determine to what extent did the Kedah Sultanate adopted the Omani dress of the Muscati style and what aspects of the Kedah royal dress resemble the Omani dress substantially. Preliminary research indicates that there are few similarities that one can find between the Omani dress with that of the Kedah royal dress, which is said to be worn by the latter since the 17th century. Reading through the existing literature in the field also reveals one interesting picture that points to the underrepresentation of Omani individuals, merchants, and scholars in the Malay texts as the former tends to describe them, often as Arab traders, or Persian traders. In short, this paper has attempted to explore and examine the above-mentioned circumstances for a better understanding of the subject matter under study through a method of content analysis.

Full textAbstract:
This article considers two films by the Malaysian filmmaker Amir Muhammad, The Last Communist of 2006 and the Village People Radio Show of 2007. Both films are focused on the Malayan Emergency and the lives of a small group of Malayan communists. Through an engagement with Walter Benjamin’s essay “The Storyteller,” the analysis in this article examines the aesthetic forms that structure Amir’s films, namely nonlinear narratives, intertextuality, and the use of images and stories as comparative frames. This article argues that Amir’s films enable audiences to recognize how the truth of a communist past in Malaysia, both of its politics and suppression, inflects the present. The films provide an opening to recognize how the absence of communism today is the effect of the ideological clearing of all leftism that became the hallmark of the end of the British Empire in Malaysia. Communism is made meaningful in Amir’s films both as a lived experience and as a displacement that is absent from the postcolonial everyday.

The roles of the Non-Governmental Organization (NGOs) are gaining more attention from academicians around the world. This article specifically examines the role of non-governmental organizations in health care issues in Malaya/Malaysia in three main stages. The first stage covers the pre-independence period; the second stage involves the period 1957-1980 and the third 1981-2015. Each stage is different from the other in terms of actions and approaches of NGOs in dealing with the government. During the pre-independence period, NGOs were established with the influence of British government and to serve the interest of their elite groups. During the period of post independence until 1980, NGOs were involved in a process of consolidation. The period 1981-2015 saw those heavily influencing and articulating policy issues. In assessing the history, development and roles played by the NGOs, this article has mainly used a qualitative approach based on secondary data.

Full textAbstract:
The term ‘crony capitalism’ describes the close relationship between the state and big business in contemporary Southeast Asia. Yoshihara argued in 1988 that cronyism produced an entrepreneurially weak, ersatz capitalism. Crony capitalists were ‘private-sector businessmen who benefit[ed] enormously from close relations’ with leading officials and politicians, obtaining ‘not only protection from foreign competition, but also concessions, licences, monopoly rights, and government subsidies’. Yoshihara's thesis has been subject to some criticism, but, in summarizing that debate, Ian Brown states that ‘there are…substantial areas of the South-East Asian political-economic landscape where government and business remain bound to the protection of inefficient vested interest, to the defence of monopoly and preference, and where speculations and short-term profit-taking are rife’. Entrepreneurial weaknesses in Southeast Asia appeared fully exposed by the financial crisis of 1997, when the economies of the region could not withstand the cruel buffetings of the international economy.

Malay heritage carvings were heavily influenced by Hindu-Buddhist culture before the dissemination of Islam. This is evidenced by the paintings of mythical animals and floral motifs found on archaeological objects in Lembah Bujang. The arrival of Islam in Malaya in the 14th century finally brought great changes in the world of carving, including in Terengganu and Kelantan. This study aimed to identify the initial motifs used after the dissemination of Islam in Malaya. The states of Kelantan and Terengganu were chosen because most of the old houses and skilled woodcarvers were born there and are famous for their various carving motifs. Fourteen houses identified as heritage houses were selected. The carvings on 12 houses in Kelantan and Terengganu were based on measured drawings at the Center for Malay Studies (KALAM) UTM, Skudai. A heritage house was then selected as the ideal sample of the 14 heritage houses selected to identify the initial motifs used after the dissemination of Islam. Two famous woodcarvers were interviewed on the aspect of motif selection. The study focused on some components of the house with many carved motifs such as on walls and ventilation panels. The carving motifs were studied for their importance in terms of motif selection and placement. The results of this study found that there are four types of motifs that are often chosen after the dissemination of Islam in Malaya which are flora, fauna, calligraphy and geometry motifs. It is hoped that this study can contribute to the search for Malaysia identity in the context of history and heritage.

Youth generation in this century (Gen Y) as a whole are exposed to technological developments, particularly in the process of getting information. As a result, any information that comes to them will be interpreted widely and critically. Recently, a documentary aired regularly shaped history back to the audience (especially Gen Y) to express the spirit of patriotism to the country. The question here involves the interpretation by the youth (Gen Y) which is more focused on the implicit meaning of the historical documentary ‘The Kinta Story’ (1949) produced by the National Film of Malaysia (FINAS). This article analyzes the interpretation of Gen Y based on understanding of the cognitive and aesthetic elements of the historical documentary. A focus group discussion was conducted on seven informants. The discussion focuses on the propaganda aspect, the aspect of British greatness and the overall interpretation of the historical documentary narrative as a message. From the results, the Gen Y informants interpreted the colonialists of British Malaya as having personal interests to reap the economic resources and make communist as a cause to justify their relevance in Malaya. The results also showed that the transformation of social technologies and the impact of extensive and open information have influenced the interpretation (read: reading) of Gen Y.

Full textAbstract:
Muhammad ‘Abduh (1849-1905) was a prominent scholar, pedagogue, mufti ‘alim, theologian and reformer. Though trained in traditional Islamic knowledge, ‘Abduh, who was influenced by the ideas of Jamal al-Din al-Afghani, became discontent with the existing methods of traditional Islamic learning. Based in Egypt, ‘Abduh led the late 19th-century Muslim reform to revitalize some aspects of Islamic doctrine and practice to make them compatible with the modern world. This reformist trend called for the reform of intellectual stagnation, revitalization of the socio-economic and political conditions of the ummah, and to make Islam compatible with modernity. ‘Abduh’s progressive reformism found following in various parts of the Muslim world including the Malay Archipelago. Among those influenced by ‘Abduh in the region were Sheikh Tahir Jalaluddin and Abdullah Ahmad in West Sumatra, Syed Sheikh al-Hadi in Malaya, and Kiyai Ahmad Dahlan in Yogyakarta. Though there is increasing literature on Muslim reformism, few works examine the social history of the transmission of ideas from one part of the Muslim world to another. Thus, this study analyzes how ‘Abduh’s reformism was transmitted to pre-independent Malaysia.

Number One Wisma Putra celebrates more than half a century of service to Malaysia by the country’s Foreign Service. Its humble origins date back to July 1956 as External Affairs Ministry of the then Federation of Malaya, before Prime Minister Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj became the first Minister of Foreign Affairs in September 1957 - only ten days after independence from Britain. Today, No. 1 Wisma Putra happens to be the address of the Malaysian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the country’s new administrative capital, Putrajaya, which is only a short drive south of Kuala Lumpur, where the Ministry had its beginnings. As pointed out in the foreword by Malaysia’s former Prime Minister, Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, who from 1991 to 1999 served also as the country’s foreign minister, ‘Wisma Putra’ is the popular non-official name for the Ministry, thus fondly remembering its founder Tunku Abdul Rahman, the ‘Father of Malaysia’s Independence’.

Full textAbstract:
The English language has been part of Malaysia for a long time, going back to the beginning of British colonial rule in the 18th century. The present attitudes towards English can be said to vary from conservative (e.g. referring to it asbahasa penjajah, literally ‘language of the coloniser’) to general acceptance (e.g. English is part of Malaysian history) and to a liberal/modern/Western outlook (e.g. calling for the return of English-medium schools). The conservative view stems from the history, or, for some, the memory, of the role English played in the colonial education system as the language of the elite which served to separate the urban and rural populations into the haves and the have-nots. Inevitably, the abolition of English-medium education became one of the key matters for debate during the campaign for independence from British rule in the 1950s. Malay nationalists considered English-medium education to be part of a British agenda to maintain control of the country after Independence. Replacing English with Malay as the medium of instruction as well as the national language in Malaya was, therefore, vital. In 1967, through the National Language Act, Malay became the sole official language in Malaysia a decade after Independence. Thus, from 1970 onwards, the phasing out of English as a medium of instruction from the Malaysian education system was carried out fervently, while at the same time Malay was zealously promoted, not only in education but in all spheres of public life.

Sejarah Malaysia membuktikan perjuangan orang Melayu menentang penjajah di Tanah Melayu dilakukan oleh pelbagai pihak dan gerakan. Namun begitu, perjuangan golongan ulama dalam membebaskan Tanah Melayu daripada belenggu penjajahan kurang didedahkan. Justeru, objektif kajian ini cuba menganalisis konsep jihad ulama Melayu-Islam yang terkandung dalam kitab Jawi terpilih. Hal ini perlu bagi membuktikan peranan ulama Melayu Islam dalam menyemarakkan semangat nasionalisme seperti yang terkandung dalam fakta sejarah karya-karya kitab Jawi tersebut. Sehubungan dengan itu, kajian ini merupakan kajian kualitatif yang menggunakan metode pengumpulan data melalui kaedah kepustakaan dan analisis dokumen. Hasil kajian mendapati, peranan ulama Melayu-Islam dalam kebangkitan menentang penjajah terbukti, khususnya Ashab Jawi. Fakta sejarah dalam kitab Jawi yang dipilih membuktikan hal ini walaupun peranan mereka sering ditenggelamkan oleh paparan sejarah tajaan British. Mereka menonjolkan tokoh feudal Melayu sebagai pejuang kemerdekaan terawal. Pandangan palsu ini wajib diperbetulkan demi menimbulkan kebenaran dan menunjukkan dimensi jihad ulama Melayu bercirikan semangat keagamaan dan nasionalisme. The history of Malaysia proves that various parties and movements carried out the struggle of the Malays against the colonialists in Malaya. However, the struggle of the ulama in liberating Malaya from the shackles of colonialism is less exposed. Thus, the objective of this study is an attempt to analyze the concept of jihad of Malay-Muslim scholars contained in selected Jawi books. This is necessary to prove the role of Malay Islamic scholars in igniting the spirit of nationalism as contained in the historical facts of the works of the Jawi book. Therefore, this is a qualitative study that employs data collection techniques such as library research and document analysis. The study results found that the Malay-Muslim scholarsplayed a signficant role in the uprising against the colonialists, specifically the Ashab Jawi. Historical facts in selected Jawi scriptures prove this even though their role is often over shadowed by British -sponsored historical displays. They highlighted Malay feudal figures as the earliest independence fighters. This false view must be addressed to reveal the truth and show the dimension of jihad of Malay scholars characterized by religious spirit and nationalism.

Full textAbstract:
The unique feature of the state of Johor that distinguishes it from other states in Malaysia is the existence of its own royal security force known as the Johor Military Force (JMF) or ‘Askar Timbalan Setia Negeri Johor’ (ATSN). The JMF was established in 1886 by the late Maharaja Abu Bakar as contained in the Loyalty Agreement signed by the Johor state government with the British government at the Colonial Office, London. The JMF once served as a state defense fortress besides assisting the police in ensuring security in the state of Johor. With the inclusion of Johor into the Federation of Malaya, JMF has remained until now but its role has shifted to the security of the family of Sultan of Johor and its assets only. Now, after a century, today's generation is less knowledgeable about the role and historical value that exists with this JMF team that needs to be known and preserved. This article aims to provide an explanation on the existence of the JMF team in more depth to the current and future generations. Library research was used with reference to the printed documents housed in the National Archives of Johor Branch and the Johor Royal Museum in addition to the research on digital media through the ‘History Channel’ documentary. The results of the study show that the existence of this team needs to be fully preserved and further research needs to be done thoroughly to ensure that its historical value continues to be preserved from time to time.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Tanjong Piandang is a Chinese fishing village in Krian, Perak, Malaysia. It first appeared in Anderson’s work in 1824 as a favorite resort for pirates. The people in Tanjong Piandang had the reputation of being a lawless and turbulent lot, and the British colonial government tried to demolish the settlement twice by burning it down after riots. Each time, villagers gathered together and rebuilt their houses. This paper investigates how the colonial government tried to maintain law and order in this space, and the local resistance that attempted, though ultimately failed, to keep the colonial power out their village. Most of the studies on the grassroots resistance against British rule in Malaya are concentrated on the local Malay communities, not on the Chinese who are considered as a migrant community. Therefore, Tanjong Piandang is a good case study of Chinese resistance against the British.

Full textAbstract:
This region of Southeast Asia shares more social and cultural ties with other Austronesian peoples in the Pacific than with the peoples of mainland Southeast Asia. Contemporarily, Asia Pacific is still the fastest growing economic region in the world despite economic turbulence and uncertainties in recent years due to the global economic slow-down. As one of centres of economic power, the region could hardly remain immune to the globalizing impact of economic and technological change. The purpose of this study was to explore the development of Technical and Vocational education in Malaysia and Indonesia by analyzing the history, policies, and its direction. In Malaya, the Technical and Vocational education prior to independence had projected the images of “colonial apprenticeship” with the emphasis on manual agricultural and crafts, which aimed at training the Malay students to fill positions in the Railway department under the Federated Malay States. After independence, Technical and Vocational education in Malaysia continued to grow, and some reforms have been implemented to improve the image of Technical and Vocational education itself. In Indonesia, a similar development occurred but the difference is in terms of Technical and Vocational education funding at the secondary level where there are many private Technical and Vocational schools as compared to Malaysia. There are new concepts introduced in Technical and Vocational education, such as the Tech-Prep, Time Sector Privatization and Vocational Colleges in Malaysia and Link and Match, Dual System, Product-based Curriculum, and Total Performance Management (TPM) in Indonesia, but the concepts are yet to be carried out optimally due of some constraints. The implications of this study are to identify the human capital development in the maritime Archipelago countries from the perspectives of the competitiveness and the preparation for dealing with the impact of globalization.

AbstractMarine bugs of the genus Halovelia Bergroth inhabit intertidal coral reefs and rocky coasts along the continents and larger islands bordering the Red Sea, Indian Ocean, and western Pacific Ocean as well as on island groups and atolls in these areas. A historical review of the study of the genus is presented and different views upon its classification discussed. The genus Halovelia is redescribed together with its type species, H. maritima Bergroth, and four other previously known species. Fifteen new species are described: H. carolinensis sp.n. (Caroline Islands), H. halophila sp.n. (Sumbawa, Sabah), H. corallia sp.n. (Papua New Guinea, Australia: Queensland), H. esakii sp.n. (Solomon Islands, Irian New Guinea, Moluccas, Sulawesi, Sumbawa, Palau Islands, Philippines), H. polhemi sp.n. (Australia: Northern Territory), H. solomon sp.n. (Solomon Islands), H. novoguinensis sp.n. (Papua New Guinea), H. fosteri sp.n. (Fiji Islands), H. tongaensis sp.n. (Tonga Islands), H. heron sp.n. (Australia: S. Queensland), H. fijiensis sp.n. (Fiji Islands), H. inflexa sp.n. (Sudan, Red Sea), H. annemariae sp.n. (Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea), H. lannae sp.n. (Java, Singapore, West Malaysia, Sabah, Philippines), and H. wallacei sp.n. (Sulawesi, Sumbawa). Two names are synonymized: H. marianarum Usinger syn.n. (= H. bergrothi Esaki) and H. danae Herring syn.n. (= H. bergrothi Esaki). The following species are removed from the genus Halovelia: H. papuensis Esaki, H. loyaltiensis China, and H. (Colpovelia) angulana Polhemus. A key to the species is included. The taxonomy of the H. malaya-group will be presented in Part II of this work together with the cladistics, ecology, biology, and biogeography of the genus.

Assalamu ‘Alaikum wr. wb.
Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim.
Dear Professor Director, Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen,
I am grateful for this opportunity to share with you some thoughts on the topic of the role of ASEAN nations in promoting peace and regional cooperation in Southeast Asia and the wider region of East Asia. I will be discussing concerns over non-interference, the situations in East Timor, Myanmar and Rohingyas, and also matters over Malacca Straits, and ASEAN’s relations with China, and South China Sea issues during my tenure of office as Secretary-General of ASEAN.
I have been appointed as a Visiting Professor of the University of Malaya since the middle of last year (2013), but have not been able to fulfil my obligations due to other pressing responsibilities and engagements around the world. This morning my wife asked me “how many people would make up the audience you will be speaking to today?” I said, “I don’t know.” She responded, “Usually your audience is around twenty thousand!” She was referring to the political campaigns. Pak Syed Hamid Albar here (former Foreign Minister of Malaysia) knows well what political campaigns and academic exercises of this nature have in common and what makes them different.

AbstractMarine bugs of the genus Halovelia Bergroth inhabit intertidal coral reefs and rocky coasts along the continents and islands bordering the Red Sea, Indian Ocean, and western Pacific Ocean as well as island groups and atolls in these areas. In Part I of this work, the genus Halovelia was redescribed together with five previously known species; fifteen new species were described. In the present part, two previously known species are redescribed and eight species described as new, all belonging to the H. malaya Esaki-group: H. sulawesi sp.n. (Sulawesi); H. abdominalis sp.n. (Java, West Malaysia); H. nicobarensis sp.n. (Nicobar Islands); H. convexa sp.n. (Maldive Islands); H. poissoni sp.n. (Kenya, Tanzania); H. seychellensis sp.n. (Seychelles, Madagascar); H. depressa sp.n. (Madagascar); and H. mauricensis sp.n. (Mauritius). A key to the species of the H. malaya-group is included. Using the computer programs PAUP and Hennig86, a cladistic analysis of relationships between the species of Halovelia was performed. Other genera of Haloveliinae were used as outgroup taxa. 46 characters (each with 2-4 states) are listed. The cladistic analysis of the character state matrix yields 18 equally parsimonious cladograms, each 155 steps long. The preferred cladogram is evaluated both by characters and by clades. An account is given of the ecology and biology of the coral bugs, chiefly based upon original observations by the author. The distributions of each of the 30 species of Halovelia are mapped and discussed. The historic biogeography of the species is analysed using two different methods of cladistic (or vicariance) biogeography: component and parsimony analysis. Reduced area cladograms are produced for most species-groups as well as a summary cladogram for these groups. The biogeographic history of Halovelia is discussed in the light of these results and compared with the biogeography of other marine Haloveliinae, the marine Gerridae, and other groups of Indo-Pacific animals.

Full textAbstract:
This study intends to examine a breast cancer survivor group called the Candy Girls. Candy Girls comprises 26 to 30 women (aged between 40 and 73 years), who are breast cancer survivors in the post-clinical phase. They all have successfully undergone various combinations of treatment such as lumpectomy, mastectomy, radiotherapy and chemotherapy for breast cancer and are on the path to recovery and post-recovery. In 2010, this group came together for a year-long research conducted by the Universiti Malaya’s Faculty of Medicine through the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine. Realising the benefits of exercise for the well-being of cancer survivors, Candy Girls decided to continue dancing on their own even after the completion of the research study. With the support of breast surgeons at the University of Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC), this group began a weekly three-hour self-administered exercise session, that is still, to this day, taking place every Saturday. Their activities focus primarily on dance. The group gradually expanded dance genres by incorporating line dance, Latin dances-based Zumba sessions, Malay folk dance forms such as joget and zapin, and Bollywood dance. While the multi-ethnic women are determined to stay healthy and happy through their weekly dance routines, they have made significant impact on women at large by performing dances at Breast Cancer Relays, Awareness Campaigns and Health Conferences. By engaging with this community of survivors, the researchers have not only been able to observe their activities but also to support them through additional yoga and dance trainings. The act of giving back to the community has further strengthened the researchers' relationship with the study subjects and has allowed deeper engagement with the community. This ethnographic research shows that dance as self-rehabilitation, not only enhances physical mobility and emotional well-being, but forges a strong group solidarity among the women as a much-needed support system for survivors.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis article provides ethnographic, comparative, and theoretical perspectives on Muslim masculinities in South and Southeast Asia, home to more than half the world's 1.9 billion Muslims. Its empirical and thematic focus broadens the scholarly discussion of gender and sexuality among Muslims insofar as most of the literature deals with the Middle East and North Africa and is devoted to women and the discourses and practices of femininity and sexuality associated with them. More specifically, the article develops theoretical insights bearing on gender hegemonies and the pluralities and hierarchies of discourses on masculinities in the Muslim-majority nations of Pakistan and Malaysia, each of which illustrates broad trends in the region. It thus sheds important light on the empirical diversity of Muslim masculinities (amidst commonalities) and some of the ways they have been informed by locally and regionally variable macro-level processes keyed to colonialism, postcolonial nation-building, global/neoliberal capitalism, and post-Cold War geopolitical struggles including the Global War on Terror.

The early history of the film industry is said to have begun in the United States. Nelayan and Laila Majnun were the first Malay films produced in Malaya, in 1932, produced by Motilal Chemical Company. This thought stems from the effect of the scenes depicted in the film. This study's objective is to explore if film has the power of being a threat to national security, and secondly, to identify the impact of audience dependence on film by applying the Media Dependency Theory. This study used an entirely qualitative method which consists of in-depth interviews with 19 informants consisting of policymakers, enforcement, legal practitioners, media industry players, and the audience. Analysis of documents related to legislation was also carried out. The study found that films can threaten national security if certain scenes were not censored. The effect of the audience's dependence on the film can influence and change their social life. This study is expected to contribute to the media industry to produce films that aim to maintain racial harmony and national peace. Keywords: Film, the power of films, media dependency theory, films censorship, Malaysia.

Coffee is hepatoprotective and potentially antiviral; however, its anti-hepatitis B virus (anti-HBV) property is not known in humans. This study investigated the influence of coffee drinking behaviour as well as clinical and biochemical profiles of hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) negative participants on circulating HBV DNA and hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) levels at a 24-week interval. Exactly 114 chronically HBV-infected adult participants were enrolled from the University of Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC), Malaysia. A significant reduction of HBV DNA level was observed in those drinking three or more cups of coffee per day, with a median reduction of 523 IU/mL (P = 0.003). Reduction of HBsAg level was observed in those drinking two cups per day, with a median reduction of 37 IU/mL (P < 0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that increased coffee intake (P = 0.015) and lower ALT level (P = 0.033) were the significant predictors for a lower HBV DNA level, whereas increased coffee intake (P = 0.002) and having a family history of HBV infection (P = 0.021) were the significant predictors for a lower HBsAg level. These data suggest that drinking three cups or more coffee per day reduces circulating HBV DNA and HBsAg levels.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This article makes the case for environmental protest aesthetics as part of a decolonial worlding that encompasses a variety of relational performative acts through which creative resistance to colonialism, capitalism, and resource exploitation is staged. These acts are understood as relational because in their graphics, image-text events in social media, and in their appearances at street protests, they refer to a system that they seek to subvert. The case studies drawn on are Fridays for Future, Klima Action Malaysia and the kristang community in Melaka. Inspired by research on worlding, the aesthetics of protest and performative acts these case studies are examined as manifestations of different facets of decolonial worlding, with a particular focus on the production and dissemination of visual material in the context of environmental protest.

Full textAbstract:
The Majallah al-Aḥkām al-‘Adliyyah belongs to the Ottoman Empire has been introduced in Johor, Malaysia during the reign of Sultan Abdul Hamid II (1876-1908). The book was brought to the Johor Government in 1893 during the reign of Johor’s Sultan Abu Bakar (1862-1895) in its Arabic language and it was translated later into Malay language and Jawi script during the reign of Sultan Ibrahim (1895-1959) in 1913. The translation was done by the Mufti of Johor and it is known as the Majalah Ahkam Johor. The book is a legal reference comprises the civil matters of muamalat, for example sale and purchase, rent and hibah, besides of containing court proceedings too. There are previous studies which affirmed that the Majalah Ahkam Johor was rarely used as a reference in court due to the expansion of colonial British in Malaya. The objective of this paper is to discuss and analyse the challenges of the use of the book in Johor and the obstacles in it’s implementation. The methodology of this study is based on qualitative design with historical research approach and document analysis from primary and contemporary data. The findings of this study shows that the use of the Majalah Ahkam Johor at the court level faced obstacles due to the British administration policy of interfering with the state legal and judicial system. Furthermore, the introduction of British law led to the abandonment of the use of Majalah Ahkam Johor as a reference on Islamic matters in Johor.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction: To determine the prevalence of depression and its relationship with health related quality of life among prostate cancer patients in tertiary medical centres, Kuala Lumpur. Methods: A hospital-based, cross-sectional study was conducted at the Surgical Clinic, University Malaya Medical Centre and Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Medical Centre over a period of fifteen months. Depression level was measured using Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21) and the health related quality of life was measured using the Short Form-36 (SF-36). Results: The prevalence of depression was 11.9% (95% CI: 7.0 – 17.0). The total quality of life for non-depression group was 72.30 ± 13.38 and depression group was 54.11 ± 14.59. All the domains in the health related quality of life and coefficient summaries showed significant differences. Univariate analysis showed significant differences in the physical coefficient summary (p < 0.001), mental coefficient summary (p < 0.001) and total quality of life (p = 0.002) among groups with different depression status. In multivariate analysis, the adjusted mean score of the quality of life was associated with age category of the patients (p = 0.012), urinary complaint of hematuria (p = 0.009) and history of orchidectomy (p = 0.023). Conclusions: The prevalence of depression among prostate cancer patients was relatively low. Treatment of the urination and prostate related problems may improve the quality of life among prostate cancer patients with depression.

Full textAbstract:
This paper cited historical facts and legal documents to assess the truth of this articulation and the true nature of the power position of the Malay kings in the past and in contemporary times. The sources of reference from a historical point of view consist of historical texts of the homeland, including Sulalatus Salatin (History of the Malays), Hikayat Raja-raja Pasai, Hikayat Aceh, Hikayat Melayu Siak, Tuhfat al-Nafis, Undang Undang 99 Perak, Bustanul-Salatin, and Thamarat al-Muhimmah (just to name a few). While the sources of reference from a legal point of view include the documents of the Pangkor Agreement 1874, the Federation Agreement of Malaya 1948, the Federal Constitution of Malaysia 1957, the Constitution of the Kingdom of Johor and the Constitution of the Kingdom of Terengganu (just to name a few). Based on the sources referred to, this paper argues that in fact in no time have Malay kings ever ruled. At any time the position and function of the Malay kings in the following five matters: granting pardons, declaring war, imposing the death penalty, determining external (international) relations and the owner of sovereignty. On the other hand, the real parties who run the government are the officials. In the old days they consisted of the Four Chiefs, namely the Treasurer, the Chief Treasurer, the Chief of Staff and the Admiral. While in contemporary times, at the State Government level they consist of the Menteri Besar together with the DUN (Chairmen of Committees), and at the Central Government (Federal) level they consist of the Prime Minister together with the Council of Ministers. Copying these primary (or main) facts is important because it can provide an explanation of the true position of the Malay kings today. The facts quoted explain that despite the various events that happened, including during the British occupation, the Malay kings did not experience a loss of power. This at the same time can remove the ambiguity about the position of the institution of the Malay king which is the basis of the stability and security of the country.

Full textAbstract:
This book is an introduction to Islam’s legacy of ecological and environmental wisdom prescribed in the Qur’an and in the history of Islamic science and technology. The author attempted to expound the title in question two-pronged: by addressing the spiritual dimension of the environmental wisdom and its scientific-economic counterpart. His main argument centres on highlighting a spiritual vision of nature – in this case, Islamic – that should be embodied and accounted within discussions about ecology and environment based on dialogue. The book is an ideological expansion of Seyyed Hossein Nasr’s seminal work, Man and Nature: The Spiritual Crisis in Modern Man (2007). Specifically, the author emphasizes that the Earth is human beings’ only planetary home and highlights the Quranic take on the proposition. In this revised second addition, it updates the importance of intensifying interfaith dialogues particularly with regards to addressing contemporary environmental issues (i.e climate change) by reflecting on Muslim-Catholic dialogue by referring to the Pope’s Laudato Si in His Holiness’ regards to Earth as Our Common Home in particular. Theoretically, this book is yet another addition to the dialogic approach to inter-civilizational issues to address both practical and spiritual upheavals emanating from such inter-religious discourse about the current state of humanity and its relationship with the environment.
