It was called, then, the “Malay Residential School” and was initiated with a vision and mission to produce “…a vigorous and intelligent race of young men who will be in touch with modern progress but not out of touch with old traditions...”.

 Suvarnaabhumi   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Malay royalty was essentially Hindu royalty descended, accoding to the Malay Annals, "SEJARAH MELAYU", from a legendary half-Indian and half-Greek monarch, Raja Suran (decendents of Alexander the Great), whose sons all bearing Indian proper names, Sang Nila Utama, Krishna Pendita, Nila Pahlawan, then descended on Bukit Siguntang Mahameru in Sumatera from whence Malay royalty spread.
Of the lesser deities of Hinduism, the most notable who have remained in Malay superstition and folk-lore are the "gergasi", half-human forest spirits of Hindu mythology represented in Malay folk-lore as tusked orgres that feed on human flesh.
All in all, that a form of Hinduism was the accepted religion of the Malays prior to the advent of Islam is certain, and it is a fact amply proved by Malay folk-lore and superstition, Malay literature, Malay customs and various archaeological inscriptions.

 Shamanism is Malaysia
One Malay charm speaks of "Jin the son of Jan of the line of the Pharaohs," a pedigree founded on the Arab notion that the last king of the pre-Adamite jinn was Jan the son of Jan, and that he built the Pyramids.
Kelantan Malays prescribe a method of acquiring a shaman's powers that shows an accretion of Muslim belief on a primitive idea, akin to the Proto-Malay superstition that round a grave a ditch must be dug wherein the soul of the deceased may paddle his canoe.
Often the rites controlling the growth of rice are conducted by an old Malay woman, relic of the far distant past when man hunted and killed, and woman, the bearer of young, delved, lending the benign influence of her motherhood to make crops prolific.

 ASEASUK 2003 Conference
The paper examines the way in which the Malay literary imagination and understanding of Britain and its empire changed and developed over time, from texts written near the time of the arrival of the British in the Malay world up to texts written at the opening of the twentieth century.
Abstract: In general, most Malay documents held in public institutions tend to be letters exchanged at the highest formal levels, sent from rulers and senior nobles of the courts of the archipelago to European officials.
Recent research suggests, however, that such 'internal' documents in Malay from throughout the archipelago were composed according to a standard format whose origins can be traced back beyond the earliest surviving Malay manuscripts on paper to inscriptions in copper and stone in Old Javanese and even Old Malay.

In the last century, it evolved from a royal weapon of choice to a status symbol in Malay history.

 Kota Gelanggi   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
PETALING JAYA: It was an old Malay manuscript once owned by Sir Stamford Raffles, the founder of Singapore, in a London library that led Raimy Che-Ross to the existence of the lost city in Johor.
Saying that most of the Malay literature featured stories of mythical places or individuals such as Puteri Bunian or Istana Kayangan, Raimy’s first encounter with a true-life location turned out to be Kota Gelanggi (or Kota Batu Hitam), which he found references beginning with Raffles Malay 18 and subsequent versions of the Sejarah Melayu.
Raimy is an accredited national Malay translator under the National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters, Australia and his first job was as a Malay tutor at the Australian foreign affairs and trade department’s language studies unit.

 Ethnographic Arms & Armour - Old Malay Ivory Hilt Hulu Bayan
I was told, Bayan is name of Malay ancient bird.
This hilt is considered very rare, intricate carving and normally incorporated in royal malay kerises especially Malay states of Perlis and Kelantan.
To be perfectly honest, I've never seen it written before, only spoken and as you are probably aware the Kelantanese pronunciation of the word is se-rin-di' so in fact, its rather difficult to tell if that's a 't' or a 'k' at the end.

 Notes to Casparis, Mahdi
in Malay and Indonesian see G. 64 This honorific term in Indonesian (as well as in Javanese etc.) may have developed from the idea that even adressing the king's feet was not sufficiently humble, so that his footwear, a little lower than his feet, was substituted.
Beside 'perfect', the corresponding Sanskrit term also meant 'semi-divine person' (compare Old Javanese siddha 'id.'), and was obviously the precursor of Old Malay siddha 'person who has attained a certain [divine?] quality through a pilgrimage'.
An important argument against a Sanskrit origin is the consistent spelling of the honorific as sida in Old Malay epigraphy, in which Sanskritisms typically retained original Sanskrit spellings.

Introduces data from Balinese as additional material, and means for distinguishing Malay and Javanese loans from authentic items of the language.
Basing on a revised definition of *d and *D, it is shown that the distinction between the proto-phonemes is borne out for three geographically separated regions: Taiwan (Paiwan, Puyuma), the Philippines (Cebuano,Tagalog), and Western Indonesia (Balinese, Javanese, Madurese).
It is concluded that Sanskrit Yava, Pali Javaka, Arabic Zabaj, the Chinese cognate Shepo, and Old Malay Jawa referred either to the original Hinduist-Malay realm which was subjugated by Sri Vijaya in the late 7th century A.D., or to its inhabitants, or to Malay lands and Malays in general.
