Come to think of it, we have very little to show as our (or Malay) cultures. It is of no surprise that these cultures came from Indonesia as the original Malays came from there anyway. In fact, if you care to look deeper, you will find that the Malays have very few cultures that they can celebrate or put on show. All those festivities are mostly Arabian (or if you insist, Islamic), and a lot too came from India during pre and post Paramesuara era. The northern Malays have Thais too thank for their infused culture. So there is nothing to be proud of, except our consistence as Malaysians.

So Malaysian Melayu's all having borrowed culture and borrowed languange? Melayu no culture of their own meh? Bumiputera which malaysian Melayus are so proud of is an Indian borrowed term also...LOL Imagine having no cultue of their own why?

Truth be told that the origins of the Malaysian Malay & their self-perceived heritages will be revealed in the passages of time. For now, let the UMNO/BN buddies roll & bask in the mud of ignorance. It's all about one-eyed men being kings and all that sort of thing.
Chapters of past events will always evolve when the truth ultimately creep's up the arse like an unavoidable itch. It's only the committed who will evolve this change & glad to note; there's a whole bunch out there main-stage. God Bless 1Malaysia.

i have a keris passed by many generations! If indonesia wants to claim,so what?! Btw keris is much older than these two countries.its the weapon of nusantara world .even philipinos have keris of their own. And in the past ,exchanging culture did happened. For example, the chinese lion dance was originated from Persia or today's term, Iran. Not originally chinese!and Kungfu too! Kungfu originated from India popularized by buddhist monk. Owh even Buddha originated from India!

Why is Indonesia making all the fuss?
Don't they know that the Malays in Peninsular Malaysia are pendatangs from Indonesia? Naturally, food, clothing, songs, dances, etc would have come together. With the hisbucus flower. Malaya Raya ke atau Indonesia Raya, both same same la!
On behalf of all the Pendatangs, I humbly apologise for the (mis)behaviour of cocky pendatangs who seem to have selective amnesia. They have forgotten that they are from Acheh, Minangkerbau (Rais Orphan), Sulawesi (Najis Mongolia), Java (Disney Toyol), Palembang (Tg Adnan Mansur), etc.
Please understand and forgive these earlier immigrants for talking big even though they are stupid and lazy. They have adopted the Hindu Ceremonies, Christian Clothings and Toaist Angpows.

Just goes to show that we are a nation of immigrants. It's just a matter of how far back we want to go. America is a nation of immigrants too, and it is 233 years old.
The difference between us and the USA, is that they embraced that notion of being a nation of immigrants, and embraced all who chose to go over there, then collectively mould their own national character.
Over here we chose not to subscribe to that notion whole-heartedly, but instead selectively label some as immigrants (even if their forebears have lived here longer than many others) while endowing other newer immigrants acceptability as prince of the soil.
But culture being practices by societies within their tribal or ethnic groups tend to follow wherever the practitioners go. So you have the problems of all these hoo-ha with Indonesia since most Malays are descendants of the greater Malay Archipelago which ran the whole swathe of S.E Asia, including the Indonesian islands.
The truth of the matter is that the Malaysian govt never did encourage a real Malaysian culture to emerge. A 'new' culture can happen if only we are encourage to think as Malaysians first, ethnic origin second.
Anyway, what's the big deal with all these claims to cultural heritage stuffs. Yours, mine, theirs, ours. So what? World is getting smaller by the day. It doesn't matter. Let the Indonesians claim all they want. Since we have so many of Indonesian origins among us, why bother with that claim. In fact, we should be proud of it. It just shows we can do some of those 'cultural stuffs' better. Seen Indonesian batik? Seen ours? Which is better? Eaten Indonesian sate? Our Kajang satay? Which better?

What's wrong with the Malay culture is a mixed of Indonesian, Arabian, Indian, Chinese, etc?
We don't see the US Americans shame of this since they are also "borrowed-culture" groups.
We don't hear any Malaysian Indians denying they are practising Indian culture..
We don't hear any Malaysian Chinese denying they are practising Chinese culture..
I am scratching my head...

It all boils down to classifiation of Bumiputra!

written by Fairminded, October 02, 2009 08:15:17
To be fair it is impossible to trace the origin of all the origins of these cultural icons and to claim sole possession of them. It is purely academic and traced to a point in history that is traceable or just to point of interest. For example, for arguments sake, wayang kulit is not Indonesian but is of Chinese origin. In China a form of "wayang kulit" had been a form of folk drama close to a thousand years, when Indonesians were just settling the Islands as seafaring normads. You can still see these performances in China depicting court dramas, follores etc that are dated way back in time when Indonesia is not even existing as a nation. There are bigger issues, like corruption, poverty etc for Malaysians and Indonesians than to waste our energy fighting over these minor issues.

tenukajaib, as with Malays, Indians, Chinese dll, not all of us, but some of us are what we are today (racists) because the BN gomen knowingly and purposely made it that way to divide and rule us. Historically, all the cultures of India, China, Malacca, Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines etc had traded with each other and had their people mixed and settled in all these lands. It is totally not surprising that we share some of the same cultures till today. I like to think that Malaysia is a melting pot of all these great cultures and our ancestors had all lived together peacefully over the centuries until recently corrupted with the supremacy (ketuanan) crap.

Most of our malay culture are directly link to indonesia.
If you remember ,a prince from Empayer Majapahit.. If history don't fail me, the prince is Paramesara.Came to our shore and discover Melaka.
The rest should be history. So I am convince that some of Malays are descendent's of the India empayer and I think indonesia was also under Empayer Majapahit during that time.

Why they want to claim certain stuff as Indon culture or Malay culture really puzzle me, to me and also probably many thousands of us, both Malay an Indon culture are the same. Even the Bahasa Melayu and Indonesia are largely similar, are Malaysia and Indonesia going to sue each other over using each other language in the near future?
I think one of these countries must apply for Copy Right over their official language and also many other customs immediately.
Not only did we start to argue about Malay or Indon culture, some Chinese in Malaysia and Singapore are also jumping into the band wagon arguing and trying to claim Chicken Rice or Char Koay Tiaw as their National dish or which clans invented the dish first. As far as I knew my grand aunty who came from Hainan Island already cooking the chicken rice and making rice balls in the 1950s.

At least other nation do their homework first before claiming that it is theirs. The malays in malaysia even have the gal to say that they own malaysia and think that they are the original occupants of malaysia. In fact they are the occupier. They forget that they come from Indonesia making them the pendatang themselves.

It gets watered down all the time by religious bigots, our ministers who knows all even justifying a corrupted fella as the best representation or arresting someone on ISA charges for their own protection etc. This nation standard is going to the pooh and we have to get these idiots out the sooner the better.

Hainanese chicken rice is Malaysian? So what is that word 'Hainan' doing in that foods name?
Shouldnt it be, "Malaysian Chicken Rice"?
Niamah!
HAHAHAHAHAH This is sooo funny Patrick, This was the same discussion and argument I used when we were planning a string of such restaurants throughout Scandinavia, but do you know what the Investors pointed out, that they would rather call it Singaporean food rather than Malaysian because from a marketing prospective, Singapore is seen as an international brand whereas Malaysia is a joke of a country with all the STUPID CONTROVERSAL THINGS WHICH ARE Highlighted in the international press, from our dancing teh tarik astro-tourist,longest roti chanai, a sitting speaker being thrown out of a state assembly, the cartoon minister on al jazeera, caning for drinking and all the kampung yahooos doing their thingy. Their point being they will close shop because of negative publicity. Investors are not bodohlah, MALAYSIA BOLIH......main gasing, tepuk dada, wave a kris, carry cow head with their cow dung. In the end I agreed it would be better to call our outlets Singapore Hawkers, "The crossroads of the exotic east." hahahahhaha
fb BUDDY
Hainanese Chicken Rice is from Hainan, Bak Kut Teh is from Fujian and Chili Crab is definitely not from Pulau Ketam.
My grandma started Chili Crab & she's from Ulan Batar.
Ya ya......better be late than sorry ma.....that's Malaysia Boleh!
Speaking about "Malaysia Boleh", I think that is the ONLY think nobody wants to lay claim to EXCEPT Malaysia!!! Kakakakakakaka.
Ya in the shelves in some Asian shops here in Auckland I see Singaporean Bak Kut Teh as well as Klang Bak Kut Teh. Singapore also lays claim to fish head curry.
And how come she forgot Yee Sang? Only the Singaporean and Malaysian Chinese seem to know anything about Yee Sang and its traditions. Other Chinese stare at it in wonderment!
And what about dressing? Anything uniquely Malaysian?
And how come she forgot mamak mee? noodles is Chinese. Soya Sauce is Chinese. Hey, what is it in mamak mee that is Indian eh? The name??
Smart Singaporean has already claimed Singapore Cherry as their own which in fact was rambutan imported from Malaysia. I had heard satay vendor telling angmoh that satay was Singapore origin. Next, Malaysian durian will be known as Singapore Luilian.
Why blame Singapore?
It should be known that many Malaysian-made products e.g. furniture, ornamental fish, electronics components/products are transported to Signapore and branded as Singapore products before re-exported to other countries.
Blame Malaysai for not having first class logistics and shipping ability.
As for food, it is the problem of Malaysia of only recognizing nasi lemak and rendang as its national dish. anything non-halal is not given due recognition. The local media only recognize and promote Chef Wan but not the likes Chef Chong or Chef Lim.
So Singapore took the opportunity to hijack our bak-kut-teh, Hainanese chicken rice and laksa. You should note that many Malaysian chefs wnet to work in the hotel and restaurants in Singapore (just like Patrick working for MediaCorp). With that they bring their culinary skills to Singapore.
I must say you will get good food originated from Malaysia in Singapore.
For glorious food, one-stop in singapore. No need to go to Malaysia. Yen Yen please take note.
Looks like China will be getting marah!
Hainanese chicken rice and rice ball ??????
My grandmother always tell me stories of how her mother make chicken rice ball in Hainan Island when she was young. Now tell me this HCR(B) belong to whom.
Some Hainanese will say: "BONG KANG CHEE" (something hainanese will sometime use to scold someone)
Lets just add more into the Malaysian Food menu ... ours and only ours this one ... Mee Bandung and Air Bandung ... personally tested ... went to Jakarta & Bandung ... where got Mee Bandung ... where got Air Bandung ... they also don't know one ... that is ours' ... so how about it people ...
Aiyoyo...Ah nYen nYen ah....lu BONG KANG ah....lu Jiak Pah Bo Tai Chi Cho ka AHAHAHAHAHA now we must called MALAYSIAN Chicken rice lo.....you said belongs to malaysia ma ahahahahaha pea-brain ah you.... Niamah!!
Hainanese chicken rice is Maysian, meh, not Hainan?
And bak kut teh too, loh? Not from China ah?
Next thing dei, they vill be telling you yegg thosai yis from Killan (Klang)!!

Nasi Lemak or oil rice is created by Indians. The only thing Malay-sia is the sambal belacan or shrimp paste!And please don't say roti canai is Malaysia creation. It is from Kerala, India. Ask the TUN!

I cannot imagine on what grounds she makes such audacious claims, or her reasons for doing so. If it is simply to gain political ground to make up for the spat Malaysia had with Indonesia recently over the Balinese pendet dance, then she is committing political suicide. Even before the fiasco with Indonesia is resolved, she seems bent on starting new spats with other countries over other cultural issues.
It makes one wonder about her calibre and ability to be a minister. Is there no more important issue she can spend her time, energy and resources on, like working to make the Malaysian tourism industry more vibrant and successful? Does she not know such claims will only lead to unnecessary fights and bickering with other countries? More important, has she not learnt anything after the recent spat with Indonesia?
I love Malaysia and its foods! I also love to travel up to Malaysia regularly and hope the tourism board improve it services to make thing easier to travel to places of interest...one good place to improve is the Pudu Raya station. It still look the same for the pass 30 years when buses are becoming bigger now and avoid stopping there! Not to mention so many areas the tourism minister can look into it....but she is more interested in claiming nothing more than just name of food which we had been eating since our great great grand parent immigrate from abroad. All because recently Indonesia is not too happy about something...so target a smaller neighbour to divert attention!?! Tsk! tsk! The wan-ton mee boss at Pudu Raya station canteen can take over her place. Majority of the SIngaporean don't even care about such trivial thing other than a minority who are into food are barking back. Sad to say, Malaysia seriously need a new Tourism Minister.
This is by far one of the funniest things I've read today. Thanks for making my day!

At least Madam Ng is trying to tell the world that Malaysian food is not just Nasi Lemak and Rendang.
It takes a non-Malay Minister to fight for Bak-kut Teh, Hainaese Chicken Rice and Penang Laksa.
Singaporeans complained because they have been promoting these food as theirs.
Why we so bodor! Singar-po no stupid lah! I work here and know they onli say you can eat all these food in Singapore and their tourism board help to promote also...they never say the food belong to Singar-po. Onli our no brainer tourism minister never do anything until kena from Indonesia then use the wrong word sa-more, "HIJACK". WHo hijact who's food? Na-beh! Embarrass us. No wonder no body respect out politician, all bo-loew one. She fast go fried cuttlefish. Even if she can find one food really beong to onli malaysia, tourist still go to singar-po eat chillie crab. Malaysia? Now they know we have yen-yen chillie crap.
Below is the list of so-called Malaysian heritage food. Notice only halal food is accepted.

Malaysia big mah, if sillypore make noise, can wack bak mah. so she can use it as excuse to tarik back at indonesia that "malaysia can also use pendek dance, becos Sillypore use our food to promote also". See how smart! we need more people of yen yen type to be in our government.so everything in indonesia, thailand,myanmar, vietnam, etc also belong to malaysia..... in short, why are we so stupid to get drag into her idiotic claim! Any sensible person whether you are Malaysian, Singaporean or Indonesian will ignore her as a no brainer.

MALAY & IT'S CULTURAL HERITAGE - NONE AT ALL?
Is the Keris Malaysian? Think again
1 October 2009
When Hishammuddin Tun Hussein took up the keris at the Umno general assembly in 2007, causing all that trouble, he did it believing it was a traditional Malay cultural icon.
Guess what? It’s officially an Indonesian cultural heritage. So says the United Nations, which recognised it as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Mankind last year.
And batik is Indonesian. They’re going to be celebrating tomorrow, if the earthquake hasn’t disrupted plans.
And guess what? The wayang kulit? Indonesian, says Unesco.
All three cultural icons have been recognised by the United Nations as part of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. The wayang and the keris went on the list last year, batik this year.
So when the Indonesians celebrate batik tomorrow, Malaysians may be left scratching their heads, wondering how they got away with it.
Simple.
Malaysia did not lay claim, according to this:
Unesco culture specialist Masanori Nagaoka said the recognition for Indonesia’s cloth does not mean other countries cannot claim batik, but simply that Indonesia’s government went to the trouble to submit a nomination. — AFP
Wear Batik on Friday
http://www.straitstimes.com/Breaking%2BNews/SE%2BAsia/Story/STIStory_436250.html
So, Indonesia filed a claim on batik and “won” by a walkover. What were our heritage officials doing?
The only Malaysian cultural item on the list is the Mak Yong theatre, proposed in 2005, adopted last year
There are 90 items recognised on last year’s list, 88 this year; Intangible Cultural Heritage of Mankind is recognised by a United Nations convention (treaty). Indonesia has signed the treaty. Malaysia has not.
China has a lot of stuff on the list, like calligraphy, the art of the seal, Chinese and Tibetan opera. Japan, too. Other countries have just one or two. Singapore has none.
But some countries have shared a common heritage item
A new year and spring festival, called “Novruz, Nowrouz, Nooruz, Navruz, Nauroz, or Nevruz” is shared by Azerbaijan, India, Iran, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Pakistan and Turkey
And on Tuesday, the Unesco recognised the tango, that sexy dance from Latin America. Who owns it?
…the tango will never be allowed to die out after it was declared part of the world’s cultural heritage by the United Nations yesterday. Argentina and Uruguay have squabbled for years over who invented the tango, both claiming to be the birthplace of the great tango crooner Carlos Gardel. But they patched things up last year in a joint effort to persuade Unesco to list the tango among its traditions worth safeguarding for humanity.
The Guardian
http://www.guardian.co.uk/stage/2009/sep/30/tango-uruguay-argentina-unesco
And of course Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore and even Thailand have a largely shared culture with a common ancestry.
MalaysiaKini quotes culture and adat expert Raymond Tombung as saying: “There are a million and one things in the Malay world which have long been established as being open to common ownership by virtue of shared origins. “This is not just confined to fine arts, architecture, costumes, royal court traditions, languages and so on.” (Cultural spat rooted in common heritage) http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/113969
So why didn’t Malaysia make a claim for shared heritage? Argentina and Uruguay did the sensible thing instead of trying to claim exclusive ownership. And seven countries shared a common New Year festival. We could have done so too.
Anyway the keris is lost to the Indonesians. Officially it’s their culture.
Just as well Umno decided not to carry out their keris ritual any more. And Hishammuddin apologised to all Malaysians for the political gaffe.
Now the keris has become Rais Yatim’s problem. He’s heritage minister. And also Ng Yen Yen’s problem. She’s tourism minister. And it’s no longer Hishammuddin’s problem. Isn’t that funny?

Dear Author,
You miss one very important thing !
That is, the Tongkat Culture
Those Tongkat-Putras invented it, claimed it, and are depending on it for their livelihood
That’s the 100% tulen Made-In-Malaysia culture, copied from nobody, and most importantly, nobody else wants to copy from the Tongkat-putras
Antares 2 October 2009 at 02:15
Very droll and pertinent. Malaysia ought to submit the use of “lah” as an “intangible cultural heritage”… also the habit of wearing jackets back to front when riding motorbikes… and, of course, the seemingly entrenched tradition of arresting whistleblowers, imprisoning the truth-loving, caning the mildly inebriated, and promoting known liars, hypocrites and suspected murder accomplices to high office.

Keris is not our heritage, but the kerismudin behavior is, get it registred as our cultural heritage.

dear Malaysians…..
Dont forget that those claims yen is making, would really influence how the World would see Malaysia. How the world would see Malaysian specifically. Use a lowest integrity and we all can see that it is a bullsh#t to claim HAINANESE Chicken Rice, isnt it? and dont you know that Roti Canai, Murtabak, roti jala are originated cousine of Indian, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and surroundings? Furthermore, please dont forget that malaysia share Malay cousine with country like Indonesia, Brunei and Southern Thailand to Laos and Cambodia.
What Yen claimed might just influence Malaysia’s relationship to other Asian countries like Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, China and India. Did yen ever think of the consequences to this claiming things? or she was just trying to do good to her country, show you people that she is working well as a Tourism Ministry?
Damn, i think your goverment should consider of firing such a minister, or else.. we dont know, how would the world react to this ’small’ matter.

Don’t forget to read No stomach for the real food fight? about the international implications.

OK then let us start the list with Hainanese Chicken Rice.

The problem is that before being allowed to patent “Hainanese Chicken Rice”, you first need to get permission of Chinese government for use of the name “Hainanese”.
TOURISM MINISTER IS A FEMALE CLOWN
Why is everyone laughing at Yen Yen?
BECAUSE THE TOURISM MINISTER IS A FEMALE CLOWN - THAT'S WHY !!!!!!!

No stomach for the real food fight?
Now Ng Yen Yen is backing down. But where’s the second part of her secret plan?

Now Ng Yen Yen is backing down. But where’s the second part of her secret plan?
2009-09-24
Why is Ng Yen Yen being laughed at all over because she wants to protect the intellectual rights to Malaysian food or their names? Patrick “Niamah” Teoh and his visitors, Malaysiakini subscribers, HartalMSM, to name just a few, think she’s quite a joke. Doesn’t she have a point? Why not support it?
What is uniquely Malaysian should be protected, whether for tourism marketing or, more importantly, for our own pride. What’s wrong with that?
France protects its stuff, too, ferociously — “Champagne” cannot come from California, it can only be called a “sparkling wine”.
Should we laugh at that?
India went to court to protect “basmati” rice — because a sharp American company broke down the DNA of basmati rice and a stupid American judge allowed them to “patent” it. Don’t laugh.
If something is unique to us, let’s protect it. Bak kut teh, yee sang, mee goreng mamak, roti canai, murtabak, roti jala, nasi kandar, Curry Kapitan, inchi kabin, pulut inti, kueh kochi santan, kueh talam, Penang laksa (assam and lemak), pasembor (called “rojak” by stupid KLites), rojak (called “rojak buah” by stupid KLites), Hainanese Chicken Rice (because made by Hainanese), roti bakar (with Planta margarine and kaya), seri kaya, Ampang yong tau foo, lemang, ulam, sambal belacan, cincalok…
Hey there’s a long list of Malaysian stuff that’s unique to Malaysia or adapted by Malaysians. Let’s do something to reclaim our shared heritage.
True, those bloody Singaporeans have masterfully hijacked a boatload of our stuff over 50 years to claim as their own. That doesn’t mean Malaysians should just roll over and let them get away with it.
The problem is of course partly because we have a shared immigrant Chinese and immigrant Indian culture and a shared, but unique, Straits Chinese culture.
The Singaporeans trumpet that Straits culture in their tourism and national literature as their own Peranakan culture while quietly ignoring the Nyonya culture of Malacca and Penang.
And the Malaysian authorities have similarly quietly ignored whatever wasn’t completely “Malay” in the officially-recognised “national culture”.
Ng Yen Yen’s problem, and the problem shared by MCA, Gerakan, DAP, et al, is that Umno’s bullies have insisted that “Malaysian culture” — defined at a so-called “national” congress headed by the bullying Ghazali Shafie after the 1969 riots — must be defined as being based on “Malay” culture.
To Umno, the word “national” means “Malay”. National Chamber of Commerce = Malay Chamber. Etc.
So everything else gets short shrift, even stuff that makes Malaysia truly different. Even though Ampang yong tau foo, for one, cuts across all cultures and is enjoyed by all at food courts everywhere.
Chingay, almost unique to Penang Hokkiens, has been hijacked by sharp Singaporean Hokkiens and Teochews for tourism purposes in their Chinese New Year parades. Did the Malaysian authorities make any attempt to protect that? Or to promote it?
If Ng Yen Yen is now making a belated attempt to recapture our shared heritage, she should be given support. Not laughed at.
Or do we want to remain second-class to uppity thieving Singaporeans all the time?

And then according to Lim Guan Eng maybe we can’t say Penang Hokkien mee or Penang laksa also? Otherwise people think the mee or laksa is made by Gomen. Like that how?

First, try ask yourselves what kinda food you have in Malaysia. Malaysian food! Right? Wrong… Malaysian food is one of a wide ranging variety that includes western, chinese, indian, thai and so on. And have we ever claimed these All Malaysian? Never! We do promote Malaysian food that includes a wide variety. Don’t forget there’s also the famous Nasi Padang which is strictly Indonesian… aha. And Satay or Sate is not a Malay food, but undoubtedly Indon! Javanese will be close enough. And we know that in Indonesia you can find dog satay, or you might eat it without knowing it’s dog meat! lol So, do we have Malay food? Don’t be silly, you know about sambal belancan for sure, but it’s only a paste. How about cincaluk from Melaka, budu from Kelantan and Perak’s tempoyak! lol Mmm I love it! I know Singapore will claim rights to rojak Singapore lol, though I think the Mamaks or the Indian Muslims were the early people selling rojak and cendol. Java has every reason to claim royalty rights to rojak buah! lol But that doesn’t matter. You love lemang, ketupat and rendang on Hari Raya don’t you. And I guarantee you’d love the sweet and tender Rendang Tok from Perak. Hey, have you sampled the Melaka asam pedas? Or you can settle for a plate of Mee Hailam! So what! These are all great food, and you get it here in Malaysia. You know you don’t find Roti Canai in India, but it started in this Malay land by the Indian migrants. Before I confuse you further, just check the historical books and encyclopedia on the origins of Malays, the Malay States, the Malay Sultanate etc etc and go further back about the Malay Archipelago. So why are these people talking about Indonesian migrants who make up the Malays? Why was this peninsular land historically and geographically known as the MALAYA????
