Talk:History of Malaysia

message: Malaysia did not exist until the 16 of September 1963. Sarawak was known as Kingdom of Sarawak under Rajah Brooke. Brooke was not a British colonist. Sarawak was given by Brunei Sultanate to James Brookes. In short, Federation of Malaysia history existed on 16 Sept 1963 onward. Actually Malaysia is Malaya!   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 183.171.176.118 (talk) 08:10, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

message: The article claims Marcos recognised Malaysia and dropped the claimed to Sabah. AFAIK, the Sabah claim was put aside and is still not something the Phillipines actively pursues much but has not been dropped as supported by the Sabah article and the Savah dispute article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nil Einne (talk • contribs) 
It was dropped as a matter of practical politics, otherwise Malaysia and the Philippines could not have established diplomatic relations. It may still be technically in existence (what does that mean, anyway? Does the Filipono Constituition say that Sabah is part of the Philippines?), but nothing has been heard of if for 40 years.

message: The article is pretty good, lots of info(which is a good thing, IMO). But, there is a glaring lack of information about the history and origins of the aboriginal people(non-Malay) and the actual Austronesian speaking Malays themselves.--Chicbicyclist 07:09, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I suppose you're right but how about the inclusion of the origins of these people in the demographics  and the country article itself? There is a vague reference in the demographic article but none in the actual country article (although other prehistoric stuff is in that history section).--Chicbicyclist 07:57, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Malaysia before foreign powers came 

message: Hey guys, I just wonder why the old Kedah Kingdom is not mentioned in this article and the template as well. I think, compare to Gangga Negara and Langkasuka, Old Kedah is much more important since it used to be a trade center and one of the earliest maritime kingdom in Malay World.141.213.66.173 02:35, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Old Kedah kingdom 

message: * " The first phase saw the domination of Hindu culture imported from India, which reached its peak in the great Srivijaya civilisation based in Sumatra, which ruled most of the Malay world from the 7th to the 14th centuries. "
<< Isn't the Indian people rule here since 1 bc?
 We don't know if they actually ruled here. But we do know that the original name for Malay came from the fact that the Tamils called the locals "Malai" which simply means "hill people"
* " European domination also led to the fourth phase of foreign influence: the mass immigration of Chinese and Indian workers to meet the needs of the colonial economy created by the British in the Malay Peninsula and North Borneo. The Chinese and Indians posed a profound threat to the Malays, dominating economic life and the professions, and at one time threatening to make the Malays a minority in their own country. " 
<< And what about the aborigine peoples Orang Asli/Negrito/Senoi? —
The Negritos simply transalate from Spanish to mean "mini Negros". They are in fact part of the original Australo-Melanesians who migrated out of Africa 60,000yrs ago from our DNA Adam. The present day "Malays" are but Austronesians (of Chinese origin; or more accurately, Mongoloid descent)

thread_title:  Copyright problem 

message: This edit brought to my attention that there does not appear to me mention of the official political and economic favouritism in Malaysia towards the Malays at the expense of large minority groups. I could be wrong as I have not read the article in depth for a few years, but if it is not included, then this is a big neutrality and accuracy problem that needs to be addressed. Other articles, say Malaysia, should also  be checked as to how they cover this topic. Cheers --Merbabu (talk) 01:14, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: It's for the bumiputra's not just Malays, but that whole section was unsourced and badly written. It probably should be included somewhere in the modern history area. Chipmunkdavis (talk) 03:04, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Possible omission

message: The "Modern Malaysia" section of the article speaks of Malaysia being effectively a one-party state, and DAP and PAS being unable to form an effective opposition coalition, in the present tense. Both are no longer true, following the 2008 elections. I lack the expertise to edit it properly, but somebody definitely should.--131.217.6.6 (talk) 08:54, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

message: The graphic depicts a British flag in the background, but Britain was not the only power that colonised Malaysia - there were the Portuguese and Dutch before them, and the Japanese for a short while. It's rather one-sided and misleading. Any way we could change the graphic? 118.100.81.9 (talk) 11:42, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
