LEOW, RACHEL. "‘Do you own non-Chinese mui tsai?’ Re-examining Race and Female Servitude in Malaya and Hong Kong, 1919–1939." Modern Asian Studies 46, no. 6 (March 12, 2012): 1736–63. http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/s0026749x1200011x.
Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis paper considers the abolition of the mui tsai (young female bondservants) as it unfolded in British Malaya, and challenges the overemphasis on Hong Kong as the primary focus of mui tsai scholarship. While the mui tsai system was defended as a time-honoured Chinese tradition, this paper uses new material to show that trans-racial considerations figured prominently in mui tsai abolition in Malaya, particularly in helping to recast it as a wider problem of child welfare. It is argued that this neglected aspect of mui tsai abolition only comes clearly to light in the Malayan case; for only in the intensely multi-racial conditions of peninsular Malaya could the question be asked: ‘Do you own non-Chinese mui tsai?’

The Flora of Peninsular Malaysia project was initiated in 2005 (Kiew & Rafidah 2007, Saw & Chung 2007), and aims to document the entire flora of the region formerly known as Malaya or Malay Peninsula. As part of this project, the present author is revising the Buxaceae for the Flora, represented in Peninsular Malaysia by the single genus Buxus Linnaeus (1753: 983). The genus was last revised by Hatusima in 1942, and in his revision, Hatusima recognized three species in Peninsular Malaysia [viz. Buxus holttumiana Hatusima (1942: 270), B. malayana Ridley (1926: 475) and B. rupicola Ridley (1911: 166)]. All three taxa are confined to limestone forests at 20–450 m above sea level, and Hatusima (1942) considered all species as endemic to Peninsular Malaysia. In his revision, however, Hatusima described B. holttumiana from a single collection gathered in 1938 from Kaki Bukit, Perlis (Kiah SFN 35239, see Figure 1A & B) and considered the thicker, shining leaves with fewer veins, the longer, erect (not strongly recurved and divaricating) styles as diagnostic characters for this species. Hatusima (1942), however, stated that he did not compare his new taxon with material of B. cochinchinensis Pierre ex Gagnepain (1921: 481), and his description of the latter was more or less a verbatim transcription of Gagnepain’s (Gagnepain 1921).

In 1961 I published in this Journal a paper on the Islamization of peninsular and insular Southeast Asia. It was a paper I had presented to the first meeting of the conference of historians of Southeast Asia organized in January of that year at the University of Malaya in Singapore by the then Raffles Professor of History, K.G. Tregonning. It was a paper often referred to in discussions concerning the coming of Islam to the Malay world, and attracted its share of approbation and criticism.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe Chuping Limestone of northwest Peninsular Malaysia, until recently considered entirely of Permian age, has yielded late Triassic (early Norian) conodonts. TheLimestone thus spans the time interval late Early Permian–Late Triassic and is in part equivalent to the Kodiang Limestone (Late Permian–Late Triassic) in Kedah andsimilar limestone sequences in south Thailand and north Sumatra. Early Late Triassic (Carnian) conodonts are also reported from pelagic limestones associated with bedded chertsof the Chert Member of the Semanggol Formation in Kedah. The Chert Member, previously considered of Middle Triassic age, is re-interpreted to represent Early, Middle and early Late Triassic deposition. The Triassic sedimentary rocks of the Malay Peninsula represent three distinct sedimentary regions: a stable shallow marine carbonate complex (ChupingLimestone, Kodiang Limestone), which forms part of an elongate carbonate platform on theSibumasu block; a deep water pelagic/turbidite basinal sequence (Semanggol Formation) which accumulated in either a foredeep basin or an intracratonic pull-apart basin related to strike-slip faulting; and a volcanic-sourced volcaniclastic basinal sequence on the East Malaya block (Semantan Formation and equivalents) which accumulated in either a forearc/intra-arc setting, or in a post-orogenic rift basin.

This article aims to recover the background to the post-Second World War growth of local art activities, art education and the rise of the professional artist on the island of Singapore and peninsular Malaya. It examines how the transitional period spanning the dissolution of British colonialism and the establishment of two independent nations stimulated unique conditions for the development of local art education and created an amateur–professional artist divide. The promotion and support of fine arts and related activities were in tandem with nation-building strategies that sought to construct a common ‘Malayan’ culture and identity.

Full textAbstract:
A new Middle Permian locality in northern Johore, Peninsular Malaysia, yields a small-sized, but compositionally unique, brachiopod fauna consisting of eight species: Pseudoleptodus sp., Caricula cf. salebrosa Grant, Neochonetes (Nongtaia) aff. arabicus (Hudson & Sudbury), Karavankina sp., Transennatia cf. insculpta (Grant), Hustedia sp., Orthothetina sp., and martiniid indet. The first four genera are new records for Malaysia; in particular, the rare taxa Pseudoleptodus and Caricula characterize the fauna. The brachiopods occur together with the ammonoid Agathiceras sp., the nautiloid Foordiceras? sp., bivalves, and crinoid stems. The locality belongs to the East Malaya terrane of the Cathaysian biotic region, but some affinities to species of the Sibumasu province are recognized. The Malaysian forms of Pseudoleptodus, Caricula and Transennatia are similar to those of the Ratburi Limestone (southern Thailand). A Roadian–early Wordian age is interpreted for the Johore fauna. The similarity of brachiopods reported here with those from the Ratburi Limestone suggests that there was species interchange or one-way migration between shallow waters of East Malaya and Sibumasu across the main Palaeo-Tethys. The Tethyan seaway between the two terranes must have been narrower than previously interpreted by some authors to allow such faunal traffic during the Roadian–Wordian time period.

Full textAbstract:
An organizing principle of Britain's pre-war empire was collaboration with indigenous monarchies. Secure on their thrones, they legitimated British rule as well as assisting it in practical ways. While friendly princes were assets, however, uncooperative ones could be liabilities; they might obstruct attempts to exploit their resources or to modernize their governments. After the Second World War, British priorities and strategies changed. With their backs to the wall they switched from supporting princes to accommodating politicians. There was no obvious role for them in new nation-states and in many dependencies indigenous monarchies were swept aside by the onrush of nationalism. Yet in Malaya and Brunei they survived: the rulers of the peninsular Malay states did so by adjusting to political change, whereas the Sultan of Brunei flourished by preventing it.

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:
This essay considers the general force of anachronism in the British imperial project in peninsular Southeast Asia, an anachronism that was enacted in the translational efforts of educational officials as well as the curricular programs and educational policies of the colonial administration. The essay refers to this anachronism as a kind of "imperial pastoralism," which aesthetic conflated rurality and husbandry while eschewing the possibility of revolution. The effect, the essay suggests, was not only a politics of linguistic separatism but also a hierarchizing of ethnolinguistic difference and a gradual and increasingly exclusive identification of Malays with Malaysia.

Abstract A preliminary survey on Burseraceae diversity was conducted in Kuala Keniam and surrounding area at Taman Negara Pahang, Peninsular Malaysia. The data from recent scientific expedition in early September 2020 were compiled with the previous collections lodged in the Herbarium of Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKMB), Herbarium of Forest Research Institute Malaysia (KEP), Herbarium of University of Malaya (KLU) and Herbarium of Singapore Botanic Gardens (SING). A total of 19 taxa of Burseraceae from five genera were listed in this area. Santiria and Dacryodes represented the highest species with six (6) taxa each followed by Canarium with five (5) species. The common species that we have counted around Kuala Keniam are Canarium littorale and Dacryodes rostrata. From the flora survey, we counted Canarium littorale, C. pilosum, D. costata, D. rostrata, D. rugosa, Santiria griffithii, S. laevigata and Triomma malaccensis. Meanwhile, in the plot study, we counted Canarium littorale, C. pilosum, Dacryodes rostrata, D. rugosa, Santiria laevigata, S. tomentosa and Scutinanthe brunnea.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract An integrative taxonomic analysis of Sundaic populations of Gekko smithii from the Thai-Malaya Peninsula, Sumatra, and Borneo recovered four deeply divergent mitochondrial lineages that are separated by major geographic barriers (mountains and seaways). Furthermore, they bear a number of concordant statistically significant differences in meristic and morphometric features, morphospatial separation in multivariate space, and discrete differences in color pattern. Gekko smithiisensu stricto is restricted to southern Thailand south of the Isthmus of Kra and Peninsular Malaysia west of the Banjaran (mountain range) Titiwangsa, being that the type locality is on Penang Island, Penang. Gekko hulksp. nov. is a new species from extreme southern Thailand and Peninsular Malaysia east of the Banjaran Titiwangsa and five east coast islands—the type locality being Pulau (island) Tioman, Pahang. Gekko cf. albofasciolatus is tentatively used to include Bornean populations west of the Iran Mountains in Sabah and Sarawak which, in the absence of molecular data, cannot unequivocally be separated morphologically from G. albofasciolatus from the type locality at Banjarmasin, Kalimantan, Indonesia east of the Iran Mountains. In the absence of molecular data, G. albomaculatus is resurrected to include mainland Sumatran, Nias Island, and Banyak Islands populations which, based on their morphology, cannot be separated from descriptions of G. albomaculatus from the type locality of Bangka Island, 15 km off the southeast coast of mainland Sumatra. Further integrative analyses of all Sumatran and Bornean populations are currently underway as well as the enigmatic Wallacean populations from Sulawesi. Data are presented that strongly suggest all references to G. smithii from Java stem from a 151 year-old misidentification of a specimen of G. gecko of unknown provenance. Additionally, there are no vouchered records of G. smithii from Myanmar. The phylogeographic patterns of Sundaic populations of the G. smithii complex are concordant with those of a plethora of other Sundaic lineages.

There are two major religions professed by the Malay community before the advent of Islam, namely Buddhism and Hinduism. However, after the advent of Islam, most of the Malay community had converted to Islam and left behind their original religion professed. Thus, Islam has had a high position among the Malay community. In fact, Islamic environments also already occupying the Malay region. This study seeks to identify factors that led to the spread of Islam within the Malay Peninsular and the extent of its impacts on Malay. The methodology employed is through the analysis of documents or secondary data in order to achieve the intended objectives. The results showed that the Arabs, especially Yemenis have played a major role in spreading Islam in all corners of Malaya through trade, migration and marriage, although there were missionaries coming from Persia and India, who contributed greatly in spreading Islam in the Malay world. Arabic is an official language of Islam and considered to have a significant impact on the construction of letters and words that match the Jawi script with Arabic writing. Malay Jawi script writing has evolved and later known as one of the languages of the civilized world. This continued until the occurrence of colonization of Malaya by the British who have successfully changed the Malay literature into Latin. However, there are Arabic terms, particularly with regard to religion, which is still used in the Malay language until today. Therefore, Islam should again be given appropriate attention in efforts to stabilize and generating the nation's identity and language.
Keywords: Islam and Arabic, Malay Language, Malay Jawi script
كانت في أرخبيل الملايو قبل مجيء الإسلام ديانتان كبيرتان؛ بوذية وهندوسية، يخضع لهما أهله خضوعا تاما. فلما جاءه دين الإسلام السامي ترك معظم أهله دينهم الأصيل وباشروا الاعتناق به؛ لسمو هذا الدين الجديد وسماحته، وبالتالي أصبحت ساحة الأرخبيل طبيعيا المحيط الإسلامي. فقام هذا البحث مستهدفا إبراز العوامل التي ساعدت على توطين الإسلام في ربوع أرخبيل الملايو، إضافة إلى الكشف على مدى أثره في تأصيل هوية اللغة الملايوية. لأجل الوصول إلى تلك الأهداف اتخذ هذا البحث طريقة الدراسة المضمونية. فحصيلة البحث تشير إلى أن للعرب وعلى رأسهم العرب اليمنيون الفضل الكبير في نشر الدعوة الإسلامية في أقطار جزر الملايو عن طريق التجارة والهجرة والمصاهرة، رغم أن هناك الدعاة من الفرس والهنود الذين قد ساهموا بجانبهم في نشر الإسلام فيها. وبفضل كرامة اللغة العربية باعتبارها لغة رسمية للدين الإسلامي قد تأثرت اللغة الملايوية بها كثيرا حيث صارت الكتابة الملايوية على شكل الكتابة العربية حتى أصبحت بمرور الزمن لغة الحضارة والأدب من بين لغات العالم. فظلت الكتابة الملايوية على طبيعتها إلى أن جاء العصر الاستعماري، فلم يلبث أن قامت الحكومة الاستعمارية بإبدالها إلى الحروف اللاتينية. رغم ذلك، فإن بعض المصطلحات، وخاصة المصطلحات الدينية ما زالت موجودة في اللغة الملايوية حتى الآن. ولأجل توطيد الهوية الملايوية شخصيةً ولغةً لابد أن يكون الإسلام جديرا بالعناية والاهتمام.
الكلمات المفتاحية: الإسلام والعرب، هوية اللغة الملايوية، عالم الملايو.

Piper porphyrophyllum (Lindl.) N.E.Br. is one of the genera from the family Piperaceae. The local names for Piper porphyrophyllum are Sireh Rimau, Kerakap Rimau or Akar Bugu. P. porphyrophyllum was recorded in Machang and Jeli, Kelantan. and very common in the forests of Peninsular Malaya, but flowers are scarcely ever found. However, limited information on its distribution occurred in Kelantan. The objective of this study is to map the potential distribution of P. porphyrophyllum that occurs in Kelantan using the Species Distribution Model (SDM). During the survey, a total of five individuals and twelve individuals of P. porphyrophyllum were recorded respectively at Pulai Chondong, Machang and Lata Cuit, Jeli, Kelantan. The potential distribution of P. porphyrophyllum that occurred in Kelantan was mapped using the species distribution model (SDM) to predict their occurrence in Kelantan and mostly distributed in Jeli and Gua Musang. According to the Malaysia Plant Red List P. porphyrophyllum is listed as Not Evaluated (NE).

Physical, mechanical, chemical, and thermal properties of sugar palm (Arenga pinnata) fiber were investigated for specimens obtained from three different locations: Kuala Jempol (Peninsular Malaysia), Tawau (West Malaysia), and Tasik Malaya (Indonesia). The morphology of the fiber were observed through scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the thermal properties by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), tensile properties according to ASTM D3379, and chemical analysis by using neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and acid detergent fiber (ADF). This study confirmed that in sugar palm fiber, the highest chemical content of cellulose resulted in the highest strength and thermal stability of the fiber. Fiber originating from Kuala Jempol had the highest cellulose content of 44.53%, followed by Indonesia (44.47%) and Tawau (43.75%). Kuala Jempol fiber (233.28 MPa) also had the highest tensile strength, followed by Indonesia (211.03 MPa) and Tawau (201.30 MPa), which was affected by the cellulose content in the fiber. Thus, fiber originating from Kuala Jempol had better quality than the others as a reinforcement material in manufacturing of polymer composites.

<p>The Malay Peninsula –or what is present day West/Peninsular Malaysia – shores are flanked on either side by the South China Sea on the east and the Straits of Malacca (Melaka) on the west, both essentially important sea-borne passages between the East and the West. By the first millennium BCE and the early part of the first millennium CE the Malay Peninsula possessed trading sites on the lower reaches of rivers and along the coasts. Complementing the peninsula’s strategic location was the seasonal monsoonal pattern that facilitated the comings and goings of merchant fleets enabling long-distant seaborne trade to develop. The peninsula acted as a ‘connector’ for the confluence of traders from East Asia to interact with counterparts from South and West Asia and within Southeast Asia. The Straits of Malacca was a pivotal passage of the Maritime Silk Route. A multitude of natural elements and man-made disasters (warfare in particular) resulted in shipwrecks in the Straits and the South China Sea. This paper shall revisit the beginnings of maritime archaeology in Malaysia, ascertain the players and the contemporary playing field, the benefits of this endeavour, look towards its developments, and envisage its future directions. </p>

The Malays are the main ethnic group of Malaysia, representing 50.4% of the total population and 63.1% of the population distribution in Peninsular Malaysia. They are among the identified bumiputera, together with the Orang Asli in Peninsular Malaysia and indigenous groups in Sarawak and Sabah. This discourse study relates to the cultural identity of the Malays and investigates their ethics and values from social constructionist approaches. Cultural identity includes the cultural background, religion/spirituality and socialisation. This research concurs with other studies that the Malay culture was characterised by a mix of animism, Hinduism and Buddhism, although the Malays have been identified with Islam as their religion. There are still remnants of animistic and Hinduistic beliefs and practices in the Malay Muslim life, especially in the practice of adat. While adat is a cultural and legally-defined element of the Malays in identity, the foundation of Malay ethics and value system is budi-Islam, adab and akhlak.

Full textAbstract:
The importance of disturbances for the dynamics of tropical forests has been described by Whitmore & Burslem (1998). Among the phenomena which they classify as large scale disturbances are those caused by wind. The most extensive of these occur within the hurricane (cyclone) belt (10-20° from the equator) but outside this belt large blowdowns of trees are known to occur, perhaps most spectacularly in the Brazilian Amazon (Nelson et al. 1994). There is evidence that rare wind storms influence the dipterocarp rain forests of Peninsular Malaysia, 2-6°N. One famous storm in November 1880 which devastated hundreds of square kilometres of forests in Kelantan, north-east Malaya, was probably an aberrant cyclone (Wyatt-Smith 1954). Smaller windstorms which have blown down several hectares of forests have been reported from Malaysia including Borneo (Ashton 1993) but their frequency and extent have not been well documented (Whitmore & Burslem 1998). At Barito Ulu, Central Kalimantan, one such storm occurred recently and the fortuitous combination of a well patrolled trail system and the localization of the storm has allowed a detailed assessment of the forest damage.

Full textAbstract:
Sugar palm fibers (SPF) reinforced vinyl ester (VE) composites were prepared in this study. The SPFs were obtained from three different geographical locations: Kuala Jempol (Peninsular Malaysia), Tawau (West Malaysia), and Tasik Malaya (Indonesia). The SPFs were utilized as reinforcement material with a fixed loading of 10 wt.%. The reinforced VE composites were prepared using a wet lay-up compression moulding method. The physical properties examined were water absorption, thickness swelling, and moisture content. To determine the strength of the SPF composites, tests on the tensile, flexural, and impact strength related to mechanical properties were completed. A thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was completed to observe the thermal properties. This study confirmed that the properties of the composites were affected by the strength of the fiber. The SPF/VE composites obtained from Kuala Jempol had the highest tensile, flexural, and impact strength compared to the SPF/VE composites from Indonesia and Tawua. In addition, SPF Jempol/VE also recorded the highest percentage of water absorption, thickness swelling, and moisture content. A comparison of thermal properties showed that SPF Tawau/VE had highest percentage of mass loss between fibers from the three geographic locations.

Universiti Malaysia Terengganu Journal of Undergraduate Research 2, no. 3 (July 31, 2020): 57–66. http://dx.doi.org/10.46754/umtjur.v2i3.165.
Full textAbstract:
The concentrations of airborne particulate matter (PM) is often measured as a mass concentration. However, the other way to express particulate matter is by using the Particle Number Count ([PNC]) concentrations. This study aims to analyse the seasonal variation of airborne particulate matter in terms of [PNC] by using R packages and the Boosted Regression Trees (BRTs) technique. The study was conducted at IOES, Universiti of Malaya in Bachok, Kelantan. The monitoring was important to understand the variability of seasonal effects due to different seasons. In this work, only the datasets for three seasons (Inter Monsoon, North East Monsoon and South-West Monsoon) were analysed involving 25,958 data. The air quality monitoring equipment involved was the particle counter Environment Dust Monitor GRIMM Model 180 and a weather station for recording the meteorological parameters. The data analysis was completed by using R software and its package for evaluating seasonal variability and providing the statistical analysis. The relationship between variables was studied by using the Boosted Regression Tree (BRT) technique. The interaction between independent variables towards the [PNC] in different seasons was discussed. The best setting result of BRT model evaluation R² is 0.22 (North-East Monsoon), 0.87 (Intern monsoon 1), and 0.59 for South West Monsoon which indicated that the model developed is acceptable except for NEM and intern monsoon seasons. Temperature (57 %) and wind direction (67%) were found to be the highest factor influenced by the formation of [PNC] concentrations in this area. Finally, good results indicated that BRT technique is an acceptable way to analysed air pollution data.

Full textAbstract:
This article attempts to trace the early history of Islam in Temasek, a former name of Singapore. The city was also known as the ‘Sea Town’, and was a part of the Nusantara. In the 12th-14th century, Tumasik and Kedah were important ports in the Malay Peninsula. Tumasik, at that time, was important enough to figure in international trade networks. The very strategic location of Tumasik, at the very tip of the Malay Peninsula, made it a significant prize for the master. Kingdoms that once ruled it: the Sriwijaya kingdom until the end of the 13th century AD and Majapahit kingdom that ruled it until the 14th century. In the 15th century AD, Tumasik came under the rule of Ayutthaya-Thailand; and subsequent occupation controlled by the Sultanate of Malacca to the Portuguese in 1511 AD. Speaking on the comming of Islam in Tumasik that was along with the influx of Muslim merchants, both Arabic and Persian, between the 8th – 11th century which the trading activity increased in the Archipelago. Coastal cities and ports, one of which Tumasik, on the Malay Peninsula became the settlements of Muslim tradespeople. Most of them settled and married there. Thus, it is strongly suspected that Islam has been present in Tumasik since perhaps the 8th century AD. Up until the beginning of the 16th century, the old Singapore remains a Muslim settlement, along with other vendors, both from Europe, India, and China, and also became an important port under the Sultanate of Malacca. That Malaccan empire was conquered by the Portuguese in 1511.
Keywords: early history of Islam, Tumasik, Singapore, Sultanate of Malacca
Artikel ini mencoba menelusuri sejarah awal Islam di Tumasik, kada disebut juga Temasek, nama dulu bagi Singapura. Kota ini juga disebut sebagai Kota Laut (Sea Town), dan merupakan bagian dari Nusantara masa lalu. Pada abad ke-12 s.d. 14 M, Tumasik bersama Kedah merupakan pelabuhan-pelabuhan penting di Semenanjung Malaya. Pada masa itu, Tumasik merupakan kota perdagangan yang cukup besar dan penting dalam jaringan perdagangan internasional. Posisinya yang sangat strategis di ujung Semenanjung Malaya, menjadikan Tumasik menggiurkan untuk dikuasai. Kerajaan-kerajaan yang pernah menguasai Tumasik yaitu Sriwijaya sampai akhir abad ke-13 M dan Majapahit sampai abad ke-14 M. Pada abad ke-15 M, Tumasik berada di bawah kekuasaan Ayutthaya-Thailand; dan selanjutnya dikuasai Kesultanan Malaka sampai pendu¬dukan Portugis 1511 M. Adapun proses masuknya Islam di Tumasik terjadi bersamaan dengan masuknya para pedagang Muslim, baik dari Arab maupun Persia pada abad ke-8 s.d. 11 M yang mengalami peningkatan aktivitas perdagangan. Kota-kota pesisir dan pelabuhan-pelabuhan, salah satunya Tumasik, di Semenanjung Malaya menjadi pemukiman-pemukiman bagi para pedagang Muslim tersebut. Sebagian dari mereka menetap dan berkeluarga di sana. Dengan demikian, diduga kuat bahwa Islam telah hadir di Tumasik antara abad ke-8 M - ke 11 M. Hingga permulaan abad ke-16 M, Singapura lama tetap menjadi pemukiman Muslim, bersama para pedagang lain, baik dari Eropa, India, maupun Cina, dan sekaligus menjadi pelabuhan penting di bawah kekuasaan Kesultanan Malaka, sampai dengan kesultanan ini ditaklukan oleh Portugis pada 1511 M.

SummaryDifferences in fertility between the three major ethnic groups (Malays, Chinese and Indians) in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore have existed since before the onset of fertility decline in the late 1950s and remain today, although the relative positions and the actual differences have changed due to the varying rates of decline. By 1987, the Malays experienced the highest fertility and the Chinese the lowest in both countries but in Singapore the Malay fertility was lower than the Chinese fertility in Peninsular Malaysia. The fertility differentials will lead to changes in the ethnic composition in both countries but more so in Peninsular Malaysia.

Full textAbstract:
The Malay people are the majority in Peninsular Malaysia, but their population structure and genetic profile remain poorly studied. The exposure to the origins of Malays and their sub-ethnic groups is vital prior to study about their genetic profiles as it can narrow down the haplogroups of their ancestral lineages. In this review, we have highlighted theories related to the origin of Malays from Yunnan, New Guinea, Taiwan, Sundaland, Nusantara and the theory of Bani Jawi. Nevertheless, these theories were established based on speculations without evidence. Despite the theories developed, the migration of Malay population is more prominent during the era of Malacca Sultanate. The trading activities and seafaring way of life had welcomed various ethnic groups in Peninsular Malaysia which formed a part of the Malay population today. Thus, the origin of major sub-ethnic groups of Malay population are discussed in this paper. The origin of Malay community has a key relationship with modern genomic field that was conducted through mitochondrial DNA analysis. Human identification in forensic application is tedious due to the need for sequencing whole DNA profile of Malay population. Therefore, identification of specific genetic markers for Malay population is vital to facilitate forensic investigation. We gathered data by systematically searched with Google Scholar, Pubmed, Science Direct with advanced search builder for papers titles with Malay population and genetic markers. This study shed some light on the mitochondrial DNA markers of indigenous people and Malay population in Peninsular Malaysia which can be used in future prospects.

Full textAbstract:
From the mid-1920s, Indian music scenes developed in Singapore that were not just about the construction of regional and religious forms of Indian diasporic belonging. Drawing upon European, Chinese and Malay influences (musical and otherwise), and performing in contexts that were uncommon in India, Singaporean Indian musicians contributed to non-Indian musics, while incorporating non-Indian influences into Indian genres. Such musical–communal interactions functioned in colonial Singapore to locate the island as a hub for the constitution of a ‘Malayan Indian sonic geography’. By encouraging links between various Indian and other communities throughout the peninsula via radio, films, recordings, touring networks, and performances at hotels and amusement parks, music became a means for Indian communication and integration in colonial Malaya — a sonic geography that would be significantly transformed, though not eliminated, after Singapore and Malaysia parted ways in 1965.

Malay in Peninsular Malaysia can be divided into eight sub-ethnics which are Malay Bugis, Malay, Malay Champa, Malay Jawa, Malay Kelantan, Malay Kedah, Malay Minang and Malay Pattani. Ancestry informative marker (AIM) can be used to represent the eight subethnic of Malay population in Peninsular Malaysia. In this research, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) datasets of eight sub-ethnics are analyses in order to obtain the AIM for Malays population in Peninsular Malaysia. However, the dataset may have outlier, missing data and redundancy that may impact the accuracy of the result. Pre-processing data is an important step that will remove the entire problem. Iterative pruning principal component analysis (ipPCA) is one of the techniques that usually use in analysis on genome datasets to extract the information. It can be applied on the high structured data and can improve the resolution of the data. It also used for structure a sub-population. Random Forest and Hidden Naïve Bayes is used to classify the SNP that can be used as AIM. Information Gain Ratio will rank the chosen AIM based on the value of each attribute

Malay Peninsula has a very compelling socio geographical, cultural history and town setting comprises historical sites, fortress and early towns that has formed an evolution of the urban sprawl. The history of the early towns on the Malay Peninsula goes as far back as the beginning of the ancient Malay kingdom of Lembah Bujang and Langkasuka; and maybe far before that period. Early Malay towns in Malay Peninsula (currently known as Peninsular Malaysia) have unique characteristics in terms of architecture urban form and history. The morphology study of towns in Malay Peninsula have found characteristics of urban form and setting dating from 5000 BC maybe earlier to 19th century may be classified into four phases of pre-modern settlements cycles. This research employs qualitative approach that encompasses of literature review of scholarly articles and reports, in-depth interview and structured observation. Based on the historical and physical evidences that are still exist, thirteen (13) early town will be selected as a study area. This paper present the finding of urban morphology and characteristic in a chronicle of urban form and setting in the Malay Peninsula dating from 5000 BC up to the 19th century.

Full textAbstract:
This paper presented new study on the mineral assemblages and the compositions on the rocks protolith. Banding island and its surrounding area are dominated by low-grade regional metamorphism which located within the East Malaya Block and dated from Ordovician to Permian age. The study area is situated at longitudes of 101° 22’ 25”E to 101° 22 35”E and latitudes at 5° 33’ 47”N to 5° 32’ 95”N. The metamorphic rocks consist of phyllite, mica schist, and metasandstone interbedded with slate. Majority of the phyllite are highly weathered with visible joint. Phyllite in the study area contains quartz veins with thickness varies from 0.5 cm to 6 cm, that follows the direction of rock foliation. Phyllite is dominated with mica group with major muscovite mineral, and the mica is mostly muscovite. While the mica shist is also dominated with mica group with muscovite mineral. The intensity of the regional metamorphism is lowest from the west of the Banding Island to slightly moderate metamorphism toward the east of the study area, which supported by the changes of the metamorphic rock type from phyllite to schist according to the petrographic analysis. Regionally, Perak state especially in Gerik area are dominated by rocks from Paleozoic era as Perak is located in Western Belt of Peninsular Malaysia.

Full textAbstract:
An integrative taxonomic analysis of Subdoluseps herberti from southern Thailand and Peninsular Malaysia and S. samajaya from Sarawak, East Malaysia (Borneo) recovers the former as paraphyletic with respect to the latter. The analyses recover the three southernmost populations of S. herberti in Peninsular Malaysia as conspecific and the sister lineage of S. samajaya, whereas S. herberti from Thailand and northern Peninsular Malaysia constitute the sister species to S. samajaya plus the southern three Peninsular Malaysian populations. As such, the southern populations are described herein as S. malayana sp. nov. and all three species are referred to as the S. herberti group. Clade boundaries and breaks within this group on the Thai-Malay Peninsula occurring at the Isthmus of Kra, across the Kangar-Pattani line, and between the Thai-Malay Peninsula and Borneo are consistent with phylogeographic patterns of other Sundaic taxa. The discovery of S. malayana sp. nov. continues to underscore the fact that, despite the well-studied nature of the lizard fauna of Peninsular Malaysia, much of it still remains unrealized and for conservation efforts to move forward, field research followed by expeditiously revised taxonomies must continue.

Beyond the boundaries of what is typically considered the Indonesian-Malay world, a small community known today as the Sri Lanka Malays continued to employ the Malay language in writing and speech long after its ancestors left the Indonesian archipelago and Malay peninsula for their new home. Although it is reasonable to assume that the ancestors of the Malays spoke a variety of languages, at least initially, no traces of writing in another Indonesian language have ever been found. Below I present the first evidence of such writing, in Javanese, encountered in an early nineteenth century manuscript from Colombo.

A new, montane species of Ansonia is described from the state of Pahang in central, peninsular Malaysia on the basis of having a unique combination of head, body, digit, and color pattern characteristics. This new species is similar to A. malayana, to which it is closest geographically, but differs greatly in aspects of head morphology and body tuberculation. A review of Ansonia from the Malay Peninsula demonstrates that the population of A. malayana from Tasan, Chumphon Province, Thailand is A. kraensis and A. penangensis from Ulu Tahan, Pahang in peninsular Malaysia is not conspecific with A. penangensis from Pulau Penang but an additional, undescribed species ranging throughout northwestern, peninsular Malaysia.

Full textAbstract:
This study highlights that the British had long experiences in the Malay Peninsula before Francis Light’s acquisition and development of Penang, due to the central role of Malayan ports such as Kedah, Takuapa, Langkasuka, Terengganu, Palembang, Siak, and Malacca in global trade between China and India. Under the influence of Islam, Malacca (and, to a lesser extent, Kedah) became a Muslim Sultanate and reached its peak in this trading network, which attracted European traders (and subsequent colonialism), initially from Portugal and Spain, and later France, the Netherlands, and Britain. After the East India Company attained hegemony in India, it was strongly placed to extend its power from its presidencies in Calcutta, Bombay, and Madras. The EIC’s main focus was Bengal, where the Company founded the Fort William College as its headquarters in Calcutta. As trade with China became more important, the Malay Peninsula commensurately became a more attractive destination for investment due to its closer proximity to the Chinese sea lanes, and closer access to the Indo-Malay hinterlands and their products. In 1784, the EIC sent Kinloch to Aceh but he was unsuccessful in negotiating to establish a factory there. Nevertheless, they succeeded in establishing a foothold in Malaya with Francis Light’s embassy to Riau, Kedah, and Penang. Kedah also became prosperous under the Muslim Sultanates. Many Chinese and Indian merchants were settled there, benefitting from the trade in jungle products like camphor, betelnut, bird nests, situated near the Kedah River, was identified as a strategic location. Sultan Muhammad Jiwa Zainal Abidin Muazzam Shah II of Kedah (r. 1710-1778) at that time was facing many internal as well as external conflicts. His son Sultan Abdullah Mukarram Shah (r. 1778-1797) also suffered the same fate. As a result of internal crisis and dynastic intrigues, he agreed to lease Penang to the EIC in exchange for military assistance in 1785. In July 1786, Francis Light sailed from Calcutta and reached Penang in August, and thus Penang became an EIC stronghold.

This article provides a reintrepretation and emphasis on journalism and newspapers, generally through the writings of W.R. Roff. Three of his works significant to this study are Studies on Islam and Society in Southeast Asia (2009: NUS Press Singapore), Bibliography of Malay and Arabic periodicals published in the Straits Settlements an Peninsular Malay States 1876-1941 (1972: Oxford University Press) and The Origins of Malay Nationalism (1967: Yale University Press). From his studies, it is instructive to recall that the Malay-language newspapers was the outcome of the collusion between the culture of the Malay archipelago and the West; and early Malay journalism from 1876 through the beginning of the Japanese Occupation in 1942 was the expression and manifestation of a Malay identity through the Jawi Peranakan and Hadhrami communities in an urban and cosmopolitan climate, with specific reference to the Tanjong Malays in Pulau Pinang.

Full textAbstract:
Ketuanan Melayu” is a conception of Malay political hegemony in Malaysia. The terminology was firstly introduced by a member of Parliament of Malaysia from the United Malay National Organization, namely Dato’ Abdullah Ahmad, in a speech offered at the Institute of Intenational Affairs, Singapura, Agustus 30, 1986. The speech was originally aimed at countering the negative propaganda proposed by the Malaysian Indian and the Malaysian Chinese, who accused that the special socio-political privileges given to the indigenous Malaysian peoples in the Malaysia’s Constitution (partaicularly in article 153) and the affirmative discriminative New Economic Policy of 1971 have been a servere strategy to condemn the Indian and Chinese Malaysians. On the other hand, the Malays in Malaysia traced the idea of Malay political hegemony from the political situation in the period of Malay kingdom of Melaka in the 15th century. They considered the period of Melaka as the golden age of Malay political sovereignty in Selat Melaka. When Melaka was occupied by the Portuegese in the 16th century, and followed by the Dutch in the 17-18th centuries, the political sovereignty of the Malays in the Malaysian Peninsula was carried on by the newly subsequent Malay kingdoms, such as Johor, Kedah, Kelantan, and others. In this article, I proposed that what is now called Malay political hegemony could be compared to what was called beschikkingsrecht in Dutch language, in the colonial period of Indonesia. This terminology was introduced by an adat law scholar, van Vollenhoven, in 1905, referring to the sovereignty of the native peoples in Malay Archipelago over their land and political state. Lastly I find the debate on the Malay political hegemony in Malaysia recently, whether between the natives versus the immigrants, or between the ruling Malays versus the opposition Malays, are pertaining with 6 articles in the Constitution and Act of Malaysian Armforce of 1972. This set of rules is knownly called Wasiat Raja-raja Melayu (The Wasiat of the Malay Sultans). Therefore, I conclude, the Malay political hegemony is constitutionalized, thus it is unnecessary for the Malays to boasting it anymore. The real problems of the Malay political hegemony now in Malaysia rests on the way it has been implemented by the Malaysian government.

Full textAbstract:
In 1994 Corner published five new species within the genus Psathyrella, all having been collected on the Malay Peninsula between 1929 and 1930. Three of these species belong to the genus Hebeloma and with their vinaceous colored lamellae and spore print, when fresh, they belong to H. sect. Porphyrospora. Of these three species, only one, P. flavidifolia, was validly published and thus we herewith recombine it as H. flavidifolium. The other two species, P. splendens and P. verrucispora, are synonyms of H. parvisporum and H. lactariolens, respectively. We also describe a new Malayan species, H. radicans, which also belongs to H. sect. Porphyrospora. These findings confirm the western Pacific Rim as a diversity hotspot for H. sect. Porphyrospora. The records described within this paper, represent the first recognition that the genus Hebeloma, and indeed that members of the ectomycorrhizal Hymenogastraceae, are present on the Malay Peninsula.

Full textAbstract:
This paper discusses the spoken Malay dialect in the Pasir Raja subdistrict. From the perspective of folk linguistics, this dialect is deemed distinctive from the general Terengganu dialect. This thus raises a few issues that need to be addressed, namely (i) the phonological features that render the dialect different from other Malay dialects, and (ii) the relationship between this dialect and the other dialects in the eastern region of Peninsular Malaysia. To address these issues, the present study collected and recorded more than 600 words and conversations in the Pasir Raja dialect as its corpus. Based on the diachronic dialectology approach, this study describes some phonological features of the dialect and compares them with the features of Proto-Malayic and several other Malay dialects. This comparison was made for classification purposes. A number of phonological features discovered in the Pasir Raja dialect suggest the dialect is to be included as a branch of the Malay dialects of the interior on the eastern part of the Peninsula. Apart from the linguistic evidence, the close connection between the dialects is also proven by historical and sociological evidence. The significance of this study is the discovery of the existence of another Malay dialect in the east of the Peninsula.

Based on the diachronic dialectology approach, this study describes some phonological features of the dialect and compares them with the features of Proto-Malayic and several other Malay dialects. This comparison was made for classification purposes. A number of phonological features discovered in the Pasir Raja dialect suggest the dialect is to be included as a branch of the Malay dialects of the interior on the eastern part of the Peninsula. Apart from the linguistic evidence, the close connection between the dialects is also proven by historical and sociological evidence. The significance of this study is the discovery of the existence of another Malay dialect in the east of the Peninsula.

AbstractIn the global ideological movements of the early twentieth century, notably communism, new political concepts moved across different cultures. Together with the process of internationalization, this led to problems concerning the translation and interpretation of linguistic terms. Based on little-studied sources deposited in the Comintern archive in Moscow, this article shows that, although the members of the newly formed Malayan Communist Party (1930) were virtually all Chinese, it became the first organization to discuss directly the possibility of a multi-ethnic Malayan nation within the borders of the Malay Peninsula. As the Comintern encouraged the establishment of ‘national’ communist parties, the ambiguity of the Chinese wordminzuresulted in the emergence of a discourse regarding the Malayan ‘nation’, which would be liberated from colonialism under communist leadership.

AbstractSouth-east Asian apple snails, Pila spp., have been declining since the introduction of globally invasive, confamilial South American Pomacea spp., yet Pila ecology remains poorly studied, with most occurrence records unconfirmed. Pila scutata, a previously widespread species, presumed native to the Malay peninsula and assessed as Least Concern in the IUCN Red List, was formerly harvested for food, and may have experienced anthropogenic translocations. We surveyed the Malay peninsula (specifically Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore) to investigate the current distribution and genetic diversity of P. scutata. Six populations were found in Singapore, but only one in Peninsular Malaysia. Mitochondrial COI and 16S sequencing revealed that the Malaysian population shared a single haplotype of both genes with the Singapore populations (500 km distant). This low genetic diversity could stem from a recent anthropogenic introduction, which brings into question the true native range of P. scutata and, coupled with poorly resolved taxonomy of the genus, necessitates a reassessment of its IUCN Red List status. Introduced populations pose a dilemma, and the lack of genetic diversity is of concern in light of Pila decline throughout South-east Asia. Our results highlight that conservation management of P. scutata and its congeners must therefore be better informed by greater taxonomic resolution and more comprehensive investigations of their ecology, both in native and introduced ranges.

In the year 1972, UNESCO has defined the term ‘Malay’ as a tribe in Peninsular Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Filipina, and Madagascar. On the other hand, there was a report about two types of definition in terms of law and anthropology regarding the ‘Malay’. According to constitution in case 160(2), Malays have been defined as a person who is Islam, speaks the Malay language, practices the Malay culture and tradition, born before independence day whether in official Malay Federation grounds or in Singapore or, on the day of independence and he or she is a resident in the federation or in Singapore . A Malaysian Anthropologist, Syed Husin Ali stated that the Malay people are brown skinned, average built but robust as well as polite and rather poetic in terms of appearance . In terms of Ethnology, Malay means a group of community that practices the heritage and generation system that was once applied in Mongoloid race . the aim of this paper is to find out the meaning of ‘culture’, its importance, what is our culture and how culture can be used in this research and how culture can be considered in the design of terrace house in the future.

Abstract. Lower Triassic conodonts are reported from limestones, interpreted as a possible submarine slump, exposed along the new Kuala Lipis -Gua Musang highway, northwest Pahang, Peninsular Malaysia. The co-occurrence of Neospathodus triangularis (Bender), Platyvillosus costatus (Staesch), Neospathodus dieneri Sweet and Platyvillosus hamadai Koike in the fauna indicates a Scythian (late Smithian) age. Platyvillosus hamadai is unknown from the Peri-Gondwana province and its occurrence in the fauna supports a pre-Early Triassic rifting of the Malay Peninsula from Gondwana.
