  • Hajj and the Malayan Experience, 1860S–1941
    KEMANUSIAAN Vol. 21, No. 2, (2014), 79–98 Hajj and the Malayan Experience, 1860s–1941 AIZA MASLAN @ BAHARUDIN Universiti Sains Malaysia, Pulau Pinang, Malaysia [email protected] Abstract. Contrary to popular belief, the hajj is a high-risk undertaking for both pilgrims and administrators. For the Malay states, the most vexing problem for people from the mid-nineteenth century until the Second World War was the spread of epidemics that resulted from passenger overcrowding on pilgrim ships. This had been a major issue in Europe since the 1860s, when the international community associated the hajj with the outbreak and spread of infectious diseases. Accusations were directed at various parties, including the colonial administration in the Straits Settlements and the British administration in the Malay states. This article focuses on epidemics and overcrowding on pilgrim ships and the resultant pressure on the British, who were concerned that the issue could pose a threat to their political position, especially when the Muslim community in the Malay states had become increasingly exposed to reformist ideas from the Middle East following the First World War. Keywords and phrases: Malays, hajj, epidemics, British administration, Straits Settlements, Malay states Introduction As with health and education, the colonial powers had to handle religion with great care. The colonisers covertly used these three aspects not only to gain the hearts of the colonised but, more importantly, to maintain their reputation among other colonial powers. Roy MacLeod, for example, sees the introduction of Western medicine to colonised countries as functioning as both cultural agency and western expansion (MacLeod and Lewis 1988; Chee 1982).

The tin mining industry has since collapsed; the history of the city will also slowly fade away and be forgotten.

  • George Town Or Georgetown , Is the Capital of the State of Penang In
    George Town[1] or Georgetown[2], is the capital of the state of Penang in Malaysia. Named after Britain's King George III, George Town is located on the north-east corner of Penang Island and has about 220,000 inhabitants, or about 400,000 including the suburbs. Formerly a municipality and then a city in its own right, since 1976 George Town has been part of the municipality of Penang Island, though the area formerly governed by the city council is still commonly referred to as a city, and is also known as Tanjung ("The Cape") in Malay and 喬治市 (Qiáozhì Shì) in Chinese. [edit]History George Town was founded in 1786 by Captain Francis Light, a trader for the British East India Company, as base for the company in the Malay States. He obtained the island of Penang from the Sultan of Kedah and built Fort Cornwallis on the north-eastern corner of the island. The fort became the nexus of a growing trading post and the island's population reached 12,000 by 1804. The town was built on swampy land that had to be cleared of vegetation, levelled and filled. The original commercial town was laid out between Light Street, Beach Street (then running close to the seashore), Malabar Street (subsequently called Chulia Street) and Pitt Street (now called Masjid Kapitan Keling Street). The warehouses and godowns extended from Beach Street to the sea. By the 1880s, there were ghauts leading from Beach Street to the wharf and jetties as Beach Street receded inland due to land reclamation.

  • ICRP Calendar
    The notions of International Relations (IR) in capital letters and international relations (ir) in lowercase letters have two different meanings. The first refers to a scholarly discipline while the second one means a set of contemporary events with historical importance, which influences global-politics. In order to make observations, formulate theories and describe patterns within the framework of ‘IR’, one needs to fully comprehend specific events related to ‘ir’. It is why the Institute for Cultural Relations Policy (ICRP) believes that a timeline on which all the significant events of international relations are identified might be beneficial for students, scholars or professors who deal with International Relations. In the following document all the momentous wars, treaties, pacts and other happenings are enlisted with a monthly division, which had considerable impact on world-politics. January 1800 | Nationalisation of the Dutch East Indies The Dutch East Indies was a Dutch colony that became modern Indonesia following World War II. It was formed 01 from the nationalised colonies of the Dutch East India Company, which came under the administration of the Dutch government in 1800. 1801 | Establishment of the United Kingdom On 1 January 1801, the Kingdom of Great Britain and the Kingdom of Ireland united to form the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. Most of Ireland left the union as the Irish Free State in 1922, leading to the remaining state being renamed as the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in 1927. 1804 | Haiti independence declared The independence of Haiti was recognized by France on 17 April 1825.

Up until now, historians tend to suggest that the ‘Malay feudalism’, i.e. the political disputes and the power struggle among the Malay rulers; were the main factors that prompted the Perak 1871-75 mayhem. This writing, however, finds that allegations of ‘civil wars’ and ‘anarchy’; blamed for their so-called roles that pushed Perak to the brink of collapse and eventually led to British intervention, has not been credibly supported. By utilizing authoritative primary and secondary sources, the author argued that these are merely imaginary excuses invented by the British colonial officials to paint the negative perception that the disturbances happened at large in Perak and that the indigenous rule was deteriorating in shape. These excuses were made to simplify justifications by the British in its quest to intervene into the Malay states affairs in the late period of the 19th century. Keywords: Malay states, Perak, Raja Abdullah, Ngah Ibrahim, British colonialism, Larut War, Chinese secret societies Introduction Historians in general have conceded that the scarcity of sources hinders comprehensive study on history of the Malay states in the 19th century.

  • Revisiting Malaysia's Grand Bargain
    Aiman Mohammad Caezar Best Dissertation Prize Winner MSc Political Theory 2019/20 [email protected] Towards a Postcolonial Contract: Revisiting Malaysia’s Grand Bargain TOWARDS A POSTCOLONIAL CONTRACT Revisiting Malaysia’s Grand Bargain Abstract The Malaysian Social Contract (“MSC”) represents a consensus struck between the three major ethnic groups present in Malaya at the point of Independence from British colonial rule. In it, immigrant Chinese and Indian residents of Malaya were granted full citizenship rights, in return for recognizing the “special position” of the indigenous Malays. This dissertation provides a normative assessment of this Grand Bargain, drawing on the critical insights of Carole Pateman (“The Sexual Contract”), Charles W. Mills (“The Racial Contract”) and Christine Keating (“Decolonizing Democracy”) to reveal the inter- ethnic and intra-ethnic domination that the MSC creates, hides, and perpetuates. However, echoing Dipesh Chakrabarty’s insight that European thought is indispensable, but inadequate, in thinking through postcolonial experience, I argue that contractarian theory requires a recognition of colonial difference in order to fully explain domination occurring in postcolonial social contracts. Therefore, I argue there is space for another critical approach to contract theory, alongside the Sexual and Racial: The Postcolonial Contract, whose theoretical distinctiveness would begin with a recognition of the possibility of colonized states of nature. It is my hope that a fully-fledged account of the Postcolonial Contract, beginning with this, would be able to provide a more complete account of the domination that occurs in the MSC, and, more generally, present a novel and productive approach to thinking through postcolonial states and society.

  • UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA RIVERSIDE Playing Along Infinite Rivers: Alternative Readings of a Malay State a Dissertation Submitted
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA RIVERSIDE Playing Along Infinite Rivers: Alternative Readings of a Malay State A Dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Literature by Syed Husni Bin Syed Abu Bakar August 2015 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Hendrik Maier, Chairperson Dr. Mariam Lam Dr. Tamara Ho Copyright by Syed Husni Bin Syed Abu Bakar 2015 The Dissertation of Syed Husni Bin Syed Abu Bakar is approved: ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ Committee Chairperson University of California, Riverside Acknowledgements There have been many kind souls along the way that helped, suggested, and recommended, taught and guided me along the way. I first embarked on my research on Malay literature, history and Southeast Asian studies not knowing what to focus on, given the enormous corpus of available literature on the region. Two years into my graduate studies, my graduate advisor, a dear friend and conversation partner, an expert on hikayats, Hendrik Maier brought Misa Melayu, one of the lesser read hikayat to my attention, suggesting that I read it, and write about it. If it was not for his recommendation, this dissertation would not have been written, and for that, and countless other reasons, I thank him kindly. I would like to thank the rest of my graduate committee, and fellow Southeast Asianists Mariam Lam and Tamara Ho, whose friendship, advice, support and guidance have been indispensable. Also, Muhamad Ali and Justin McDaniel, whose graduate courses have cultivated my interest in Southeast Asia beyond the literary into appreciating the religious complexity and diversity of the region.
