Representation of Pluralism in Literary History from Riau Island, Indonesia
Athens Journal of Philology - Volume 6, Issue 2 – Pages 83-104 Representation of Pluralism in Literary History from Riau Island, Indonesia By Mu᾽jizah One kind of the genre in literature is literary history, often called historiography traditional. In 17th--19th century this type of work was commonly found in the Riau Island manuscripts, especially in Pulau Penyengat. This area in ancient times became a scriptorium of Malay manuscripts. Several authors and scribes’ works, such as Raja Haji, Raja Ali Haji, Raja Ibrahim, and Salamah Binti Ambar and a descendant of Encik Ismail bin Datuk Karkun, were found in the region. Their works among others are Tuhafat An-Nafis, Silsilah Melayu, dan Bugis, and Hikayat Negeri Johor. In Indonesia, the manuscripts are kept in the National Library of Indonesia in Jakarta and Indrasakti Foundation in Riau Island. Some manuscripts among others were found in the Leiden University Library and KITLV Library in Netherlands. The historiography is useful to explore the source of historical knowledge, especially in search for understanding the process in the formation of Malay ethnic group with plural identities in Indonesia. The aim is to find representation of pluralism in the past Malay literary history which has contributed and strengthened nationalism. In the study we use qualititative research and descriptive methods of analysis. The research has found that the Malay ethnic group in Indonesia derived from various ethnic groups that integrated and became a nation with pluralities. According to the myth, the Malay ethnic group came from the unity between the upper-world or the angelic world and the under-world depicted as the marriage between Putri Junjung Buih and a human being. -

1 Orang Asli and Melayu Relations
1 Orang Asli and Melayu Relations: A Cross-Border Perspective (paper presented to the Second International Symposium of Jurnal Antropologi Indonesia, Padang, July 18-21, 2001) By Leonard Y. Andaya In present-day Malaysia the dominant ethnicity is the Melayu (Malay), followed numerically by the Chinese and the Indians. A very small percentage comprises a group of separate ethnicities that have been clustered together by a Malaysian government statute of 1960 under the generalized name of Orang Asli (the Original People). Among the “Orang Asli” themselves, however, they apply names usually associated with their specific area or by the generalized name meaning “human being”. In the literature the Orang Asli are divided into three groups: The Semang or Negrito, the Senoi, and the Orang Asli Melayu.1 Among the “Orang Asli”, however, the major distinction is between themselves and the outside world, and they would very likely second the sentiments of the Orang Asli and Orang Laut (Sea People) in Johor who regard themselves as “leaves of the same tree”.2 Today the Semang live in the coastal foothills and inland river valleys of Perak, interior Pahang, and Ulu (upriver) Kelantan, and rarely occupy lands above 1000 meters in elevation. But in the early twentieth century, Schebesta commented that the areas regarded as Negrito country included lands from Chaiya and Ulu Patani (Singora and Patthalung) to Kedah and to mid-Perak and northern Pahang.3 Most now live on the fringes rather than in the deep jungle itself, and maintain links with Malay farmers and Chinese shopkeepers. In the past they appear to have also frequented the coasts. -
Transmitting the Past in South Sulawesi: the Hikajat Sawitto and Other Bugis and Makasar Historical Works

International Journal of Asia Pacific Studies 12 (Supp. 1): 73–117, http://dx.doi.org/10.21315/ijaps2016.12.s1.5 To link to this article: http://dx.doi.org/10.21315/ijaps2016.12.s1.5 ABSTRACT The central focus of this article is the hikajat Sawitto (hS), a 12-page typed text in the Latin script and Malay language constructed in the 1930s from mainly oral Bugis sources. The hS provides an important insight into how the past was transmitted in South Sulawesi and the relationship between orality and writing. Discussion of the hS is framed within this broader context and begins with an overview of Bugis and Makasar2 historical prose works, focusing mainly on the few longer written compositions dating from the 17th, to the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries, and the factors that influenced their creation. Central to the article is the argument that these written works are not representative of Bugis and Makasar historical sources and that orality played the primary role in transmitting the past. -

The Roles of Penghulu on Small Estate Distribution
Turkish Journal of Computer and Mathematics Education Vol.12 No.3 (2021), 1122-1128 Research Article The Roles of Penghulu on Small Estate Distribution Mohamad Ali RoshidiAhmad1,HartiniJaafar2, Azam Abdelhakeem Khalid3 1,2,3Department of Accounting and Finance, Faculty of Management and Economics, Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris [email protected] Article History: Received: 10 November 2020; Revised: 12 January 2021; Accepted: 27 January 2021; Published online: 05 April 2021 Abstract: Distribution of the estate is one of the most important issues in the human life. The property acquired through the distribution of the estate can lead to an individual’s future. Some people assume that property is used as measure of the success of a person’s life, so there will be room for the disputation in the authority of the estate. The existence of a dispute in the inheritance division takes place in various forms, some of the which caused the inheritance to be divided only after so long as the inherited person died, some also due to the uncertain estate position, and some of the heirs who deliberately committed crucial documents such as death letter, agreement letter and soon. The delay in applying for settlement of the estate after the death of the property owner (deceased) is a common phenomenon occurring in our society. Many cases are not properly addressed by the heirs and have not been resolved immediately even though the death has taken place for several years. There are certain cases which took decades to complete, and even death cases that took place before the Japanese occupation period had not yet been resolved. -

Penghulus and Ketua Kampongs: Relevancy and Challenges In
Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research, volume 191 Asian Association for Public Administration Annual Conference (AAPA 2018) Penghulus and Ketua Kampongs: Relevancy and Challenges in Brunei Darussalam Sub-Theme: Strengthening Local Administration and Decentralisation Li Li Pang1 Universiti Brunei Darussalam 1 [email protected] Abstract The institutions of Penghulu (head of sub-district or Mukim) and Ketua Kampong (head of a village) are an important part of Brunei Darussalam’s administrative structure, officially seen as the ‘eyes, ears and mouth’ of the government. However, due to the advancement of information communication technologies (ICTs) as well as the rise of a large bureaucratic state, are these institutions still relevant in this small absolute monarchy? What are the challenges faced by the Penghulus and Ketua Kampongs in this modern age and what do the youth think of them? Is it still necessary for the government to increase the financial benefits of Penghulus and Ketua Kampongs in order to attract younger, educated generation to fill up vacancies for those positions? This paper attempts to provide a preliminary investigation on these under-research issues in Brunei Darussalam as well as providing an insight into the local administration of a small rentier state in Southeast Asia. Introduction The institutions of Penghulu and Ketua Kampongs (KKs), as leaders of villages and sub- districts (Mukims) are a common social-administrative feature in the Malay Archipelago and their role in modern governance is under-researched. Formally institutionalised by the British and Dutch colonisers, Penghulus and KKs contributions in Malaysia and Indonesia were significant in the 18th and 19th century as they ensured peaceful administration of the state as the local headmen were allowed to continue leading their respective villages (Cheema, 1979; Kratoska, 1984; Tsuboi, 2004; Wan Rabiah, Kushairi, Suharto and Hasnan, 2015). -
