	The Singapore Dilemma: Book review
		Rahim cogently argues that the persistence of the Malay community on the socio-economic and educational fringes of society constitutes an unhealthy obstacle towards improving relations between Malays and non-Malays and with Singapore's Malay neighbours.
		Significantly, the Singaporean Malay insecurity stemming from their socio-economic and political marginality and the Chinese insecurity as a result of their numerical minority status in a Malay region have reinforced and augmented one another.
		The Malay marginality, which is inextricably linked to the fundamental questions of multiracialism and social justice, exposes the institutional and structural bases of social disadvantage in Singapore.

	BioMed Central \| Full text \| Ethnic differences in the time trend of female breast cancer incidence: Singapore, 1968 - ...
		Chinese and Malay women born in later birth cohorts had higher risks of developing breast cancer compared to their counterparts born in 1926–1930 (Table 3); but the risk increase was sharper in the pre-menopausal Malays than in the Chinese.
		Malay women have consistently had the youngest age at first birth and the highest parity among the three ethnic groups [28-30].
		The absence of cohort effects in the post-menopausal Malays despite the good age-cohort model fit for the entire Malay population may be due to a cohort influence that is only beginning to emerge in the younger Malay women, particularly those born after 1941 who had just begun to move into their post-menopausal years (≥50).

	yax-076 Bazaar Malay
		The Chinese and Indian communities there quite clearly needed some smattering of Malay to go about their daily lives, and since the various communities in Singapore were closely connected with their counterparts in Malaya, with a lot of movement between, the use of Malay spread into Singapore as well.
		Malay was taught in all schools as a compulsory third language for a while, but by around 1970 as the political scene settled down a bit, it was dropped.
		Singaporeans were Malayans after all, albeit with a slightly different racial mix, and on both sides, Bazaar Malay was the lingua franca.

	Malaysian and Singaporean cuisine - Wikitravel
		The most identifiable cuisine in the region is Peranakan or Nonya cuisine, born from the mixed Malay and Chinese communities of what were once the British colonies of the Straits Settlements (modern-day Singapore, Penang and Malacca).
		Malay food originates largely from the migrants from present-day Indonesia.
		Malay desserts, especially the sweet pastries and jellies (kuih) made largely from coconut and palm sugar (gula melaka), bear a distinct resemblance to those of Thailand.

	Asia Finest Discussion Forum > Indo-Aryan Haplogroups in Malay Populations
		Singaporean Chinese and Indians raised their average IQ by admitting only the most qualified Chinese and Indian immigrants from China, India, Malaysia and Indonesia but those Singaporean Malays who are all original citizens still managed to keep up.
		Malays, like other Singaporeans, were assumed to have regular employment and salaries, and their distinctive Malay and Muslim concerns were efficiently and equitably addressed through a computerized government program.
		Those Malays are all original citizens from before independence.They were squeezed out of university places and good jobs only because of those immigrants and they are not the only ppl who have been marginalised by immigrants.Even the the original singaporean chinese and indians have become 2nd class citizens in their own homeland.

		The store clerk was a young, somewhat plumpy Malay woman, and facing her was a young Chinese woman, slim and fair, with her six-year-old son in tow.
		Another implication from Chinese immigration is that the "Chinese conundrum" is renewed for another generation: whether to be Chinese or Singaporean, and what on earth it means to be "Chinese" or to be "Singaporean".
		Yet migrants like her are invited to be Singaporeans.

	Malays in Singapore - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The local Malays, originally of aboriginal Orang Laut and other coastal Malay groups, have intermarried with non-Malays, many of whom are of non-Malay stock.
		Malay Muslim men would attend Friday prayers at the communal mosque every week and Malay Muslims observe Ramadan yearly, which is to fast during daytime on a daily basis, one month before Hari Raya Puasa.
		The Government shall exercise its functions in such manner as to recognise the special position of the Malays, who are the indigenous people of Singapore, and accordingly it shall be the responsibility of the Government to protect, safeguard, support, foster and promote their political, educational, religious, economic, social and cultural interests and the Malay language.

	Alfian's Secret Wank Shed
		Singaporean Malays have appropriated it as a type of cultural performance, and it is widely performed by school troupes during celebrations such as Teacher's Day.
		A more extensive study of these images might explain the attitudes of many Singaporeans to the Indonesian riots, which was conceived as an uncivilised population succumbing to base impulses, and also the persistence of the myth of the 'lazy native'.
		Responding to a call for dialogue by the Malay community on the position of Malays in the army, Lee Kuan Yew himself agreed in principle, but warned that discussions should not be too emotional; in his own words, no 'baby-talk'.

	Singapore : Case Study : Malays
		The concept of Singaporean national identity requires every citizen have two overlapping social identities : his identity which is politically defined as Singaporean, and his identity culturally defined as a member of an ethnic group.
		Though at the moment sources of Malay dissatisfaction are economic, a acceptance of general conditions of life in Singapore as overriding the majority of the disadvantages of relatively depressed minority status.
		The lack of special privileges for the Malay community (contrasted to Malaysians Malays who possessed special rights a privileges because the were natives) is itself symptomatic of government thinking : despite past problems and occasions when racial harmony has broken down, all communities in Singapore must operate within the same political framework.

	IHRC - Briefing: Singapore, ethnic chauvinism and the Malay-Muslim population
		In terms of Singapore’s ethnic composition, 77% are ethnic Chinese, 14% are ethnic Malay and 8% Indian.
		The government’s hyper-sensitivity to any issue that mildly resembles racial and or religious controversy is conditioned by the racial strife and riots between the country’s ethnic Chinese and Malay populations in the 1950s and 1960s, which threaten to tear Singapore’s very social fabric apart.

		But paradoxically, most Singaporeans seem to be quite happy about their religious lives.
		In Singapore, where (mostly Malay) Muslims constitute a minority living in a society undergoing far-reaching secularizing changes, some 68 mosques stand as an important bulwark of Muslim identity and community integrity.
		Most of them are proud of being Singaporean and of the ways in which religious beliefs are being practiced.

		The majority's idea of their Chineseness is often a question of whether they are Chinese enough or less-than-Chinese-hence the supposed schism between the Chinese-educated and English educated Chinese, and the various kinds of angst this throws up-from accusations of becoming 'yellow bananas' to cultural cringes about being too 'cheena'.

		I was reminded of how a Singaporean friend studying in Germany made a presentation in class about Muslims in Singapore and Southeast Asia, and rumours spread from some other students that he was a Muslim (he was not).

	AsiaMedia :: SINGAPORE: Singaporeans face jail terms over dog comments
		Two Singaporeans had been charged with sedition for making inflammatory anti-Muslim postings on the Internet over the issue of allowing uncaged dogs in taxis, police said on Tuesday.
		The case was triggered by a letter to the Straits Times newspaper from a Malay Muslim Singaporean woman, Zuraimah Mohammed, who in a query to taxi firms said uncaged dogs may drool on taxi seats or dirty them with their paws.
		Malay Muslims make up 13.7 per cent, ethnic Indians 8.4 per cent and the rest are from a wide variety of racial groups including westerners.

		The Malay peninsula was an important crossroads in trade from East Asia to India and points westward, as the pattern of winds and the lay of the land created a natural meeting point.
		The region had a history of Indian and Thai influence and rule, but by the time of European involvement (from this sixteenth century) the area consisted of a series of rather cosmopolitan Malay sultanates, which were Muslim, but with distinctive cultural practices that reflected the centuries of contact with other nations, especially with India.
		The Portuguese were the first Europeans to seek a share in the riches of the Malay peninsula, and after their defeat in Malacca in 1641 the Dutch dominated.

		Responding to "worrying" data on pregnancy and STDs among ethnic Malay teenagers, Singaporean Minister of Muslim Affairs Yaacob Ibrahim on Monday kicked off a month-long abstinence campaign targeting the youths.
		Malays make up about 14 percent of Singapore's residents, and in 2004 about half of all the city-state's teenage abortions occurred in the community.
		More than half the 417 teens who gave birth in 2004 were Malay, as were almost half the teens with STDs.

		The media have followed in lockstep to juxtapose the city-state's authoritarian stability against perceived threats — to the north and south lie Malaysia and Indonesia, in the former the largest opposition is the Islamic Party of Malaysia, and the latter is the world's most populous Muslim country and riddled with secessionist movements.
		At the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula, Singapore is strategically located — it commands the Straits of Malacca, which is one of the world's busiest shipping lanes.
		Tjong for example was at the helm of the ISD during 1987, the year when 22 Singaporeans were detained for being suspected "Marxists." Some were beaten and tortured while in detention.

		And the sad thing is that most Singaporean Malays are willing to accept their lower economic status, having the prevailing mindset that we will never be able succeed since we are Malays.
