In Indo-Malay animism, the earth is personified as the maternal figure Ibuku Bumi, literally meaning "my mother earth". Through Hindu influence, the earth mother was identified with the Indian goddess Prithvi, known locally as Pertewi or Pertiwi

Very long thread on misconceptions regarding the Orang Asli, Malay origins, and indigeneity in Malaysia. I'll be repeating myself a lot here but this time I'll try to include a source for each point
"Malays are immigrants from Indonesia"

I want to start with this because it leads in to some later points. This is based on outdated theories of human migration which assumed that the ancestors of several SEA peoples arrived a matter of centuries ago
It is currently believed that the ancestors of all Austronesian-speakers came from Taiwan. What about later periods? Migration from what is now Indonesia included intra-Malay and international migration Image

Two reasons. For one thing, it's a simple matter of language. Many Malays, including those who are fluent in English, don't know what liberal means. It's the reason why in Malaysia, liberal just means "anything I disagree with", much in the same way they misunderstand "consent"
The other reason is the popular American use of liberal to mean the left-wing, with "conservative" meaning the right. This isn't what either of those terms mean but for certain historical reasons it's become accepted usage worldwide
While the fear of "liberals" goes back to around the 2000s, Malays didn't adopt the word conservative on a large scale until much more recently, especially after the late 2010s

I got around to watching Mat Kilau. Now I'm sure you've all heard enough about this film already, but I kept my mouth mostly shut until now so I think there are a few points that deserve to be reiterated
This won't be a review but I will start by saying that the movie is entertaining and moves at a steady pace. The silat choreography is decent but ruined by shaky camera. Please can we do away with the shaky cam?

Many have already pointed out the movie's numerous historical inaccuracies. It would take forever to go deeply into them, but for those interested, here's an article by the historian Ranjit Singh Malhi

You mean like how you consider Zakir Naik an authority on Christianity, Hinduism, etc?
Also "berotoriti" is even more annoying to see than "komited". So much for upholding the Malay language
So is themerdekatimes an authority on Christianity? What their link says isn't that it's forbidden for Christians, but that it's not biblical. The source is a Protestant website which says that RIP is a Catholic thing without a biblical basis

Things UNESCO never said
Also note how every place on the map is labelled with its modern name except peninsular Malaysia is "Tanah Melayu", which Cendekiawan Palsu presumably believes is the old name for the country
He's talking about outdated race science, which uses the term Malay for all Austronesian-speaking groups as a single racial category. No academic takes this seriously today. Malay is an ethnicity, not a race. Not all Austronesian-speakers are Malay

Since this appears to be genuine, I'll reply without being snarky and in a way that even the uninformed from outside Malaysia can understand. The Patriots is a publishing company who release books and also post articles on social media

I've read their posts, their articles and a couple of their books for a few years, though I haven't really kept up during the past year. Nonetheless, my criticism of TP is not blind hatred and I have good reason to call them dangerous
By their own admission, TP is firmly right-wing (although they erroneously use this term interchangeably with "conservative"). Their founders and writers are entirely right-wing to varying degrees. The co-founder is a self-proclaimed Malay nationalist
