She was Mon ethnic (Mon was the name of ethnic group that was migrated from Myanmar) and she was the granddaughter of the Mon leader. By the reason of her family and her concubine status, she had a role as a leader of the Mon in Thailand at that time. The Mon Community in Ladkrabang has a memory with her as an important person in the history of the community, because she had a small house in community area.

  • ASEAN Tourism Packages 2019-2020’
    ASEAN TOURISM PACKAGEs ASEAN TOURISM MALAYSIA, MINISTRy of TOURISM, Arts AND culture, Malaysia ToURISM PACKAGES JAN 2019 2019-2020 Petronas Twin Tower, Malaysia 2 | ASEAN TOURISM PACKAGES Foreword HONOURABLE Datuk Mohamaddin Bin Ketapi Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture, Malaysia It is with great pleasure that I pen a few words to acknowledge the efforts made to enhance the growth and development of ASEAN tourism through the publication of this online ‘ASEAN Tourism Packages 2019-2020’. ASEAN tourism is heading towards a very exciting period of vast potential development. The World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) has projected that Asia Pacific will gain a major market share of new arrivals in tourism – an additional of 331 million beginning 2010 to reach 535 million by 2030. It is noteworthy that the Southeast Asia region is anticipated to grow at a faster rate compared with the global average during this period. Given this promising landscape of tourism, it is critical that ASEAN member nations work together to strengthen the region as one tourism destination. With ASEAN members advancing, enhancing and deepening strategic partnerships with one another, the integration will certainly bring about a more attractive and dynamic tourism industry. Subsequently, these efforts will also bring the peoples of ASEAN closer and lay a firm foundation for a more peaceful, stable and prosperous region. I am confident that given our long history of friendship together, we will advance ASEAN as a special community for tourism in the region to flourish. In this regard, I take the opportunity to thank and congratulate everyone involved in realising the ASEAN Tourism Packages, an important step towards an integrated tourism region.

  • 1 Chapter 1 Introduction As a Chinese Buddhist in Malaysia, I Have Been
    Chapter 1 Introduction As a Chinese Buddhist in Malaysia, I have been unconsciously entangled in a historical process of the making of modern Buddhism. There was a Chinese temple beside my house in Penang, Malaysia. The main deity was likely a deified imperial court officer, though no historical record documented his origin. A mosque serenely resided along the main street approximately 50 meters from my house. At the end of the street was a Hindu temple decorated with colorful statues. Less than five minutes’ walk from my house was a Buddhist association in a two-storey terrace. During my childhood, the Chinese temple was a playground. My friends and I respected the deities worshipped there but sometimes innocently stole sweets and fruits donated by worshippers as offerings. Each year, three major religious events were organized by the temple committee: the end of the first lunar month marked the spring celebration of a deity in the temple; the seventh lunar month was the Hungry Ghost Festival; and the eighth month honored, She Fu Da Ren, the temple deity’s birthday. The temple was busy throughout the year. Neighbors gathered there to chat about national politics and local gossip. The traditional Chinese temple was thus deeply rooted in the community. In terms of religious intimacy with different nearby temples, the Chinese temple ranked first, followed by the Hindu temple and finally, the mosque, which had a psychological distant demarcated by racial boundaries. I accompanied my mother several times to the Hindu temple. Once, I asked her why she prayed to a Hindu deity.

  • Case Concerning Sovereignty Over Pulau Ligitan and Pulau Sipadan
    INTERNATIONAL COURT OF JUSTICE CASE CONCERNING SOVEREIGNTY OVER PULAU LIGITAN AND PULAU SIPADAN OBSERVATIONS OF MALAYSIA ON THE APPLICATION FOR PERMISSION TO INTERVENE BY THE GOVERNMENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES 2 MAY 2001 CASE CONCERNING SOVEREIGNTY OVER PULAU LIGITAN AND PULAU SIPADAN (INDONESIA/MALAYSIA) Written Observations of Malaysia on the Application for permission to intervene by the Government of the Republic of the Phiiippines Introduction 1. These written observations are made by Malaysia in response to the Registrar's letter of 14 March 2001. 2. To summarize, Malaysia categorically rejects any attempt of the Philippines to concern itself with a territorial dispute involving two small islands off the coast of Sabah (formerly North Bomeo). The subject of the dispute between Indonesia and Malaysia is not Malaysia's sovereignty over the State of Sabah (which sovereignty Indonesia explicitly accepts and recognises). It is solely the question of title to two small islands off Semporna, Malaysia. Indonesia's claim is based on an interpretation of Article TV of the Convention of 1891 between Great Britain and the Netherlands. Spain had previously expressly recognised British title over the territory which was the subject of the 1891 Convention, by Article IJJ of the Protocol of 1885.' The Philippines can have no greater rights than Spain had. The interpretation of the 1891 Convention is thus a matter exclusively between Indonesia and Malaysia, in which the Philippines can have no legal interest. Nor does the Philippines have any legal interest in the subject matter of the specific dispute submitted to the Court by the Special Agreement.

  • Dark Mirrors: Azazel and Satanael in Early Jewish Demonology
    Orlov Dark Mirrors RELIGIOUS STUDIES Azazel and Satanael in Early Jewish Demonology Dark Mirrors is a wide-ranging study of two central figures in early Jewish demonology—the fallen angels Azazel and Satanael. Andrei A. Orlov explores the mediating role of these paradigmatic celestial rebels in the development of Jewish demonological traditions from Second Temple apocalypticism to later Jewish mysticism, such as that of the Hekhalot and Shi ur Qomah materials. Throughout, Orlov makes use of Jewish pseudepigraphical materials in Slavonic that are not widely known. Dark Mirrors Orlov traces the origins of Azazel and Satanael to different and competing mythologies of evil, one to the Fall in the Garden of Eden, the other to the revolt of angels in the antediluvian period. Although Azazel and Satanael are initially representatives of rival etiologies of corruption, in later Jewish and Christian demonological lore each is able to enter the other’s stories in new conceptual capacities. Dark Mirrors also examines the symmetrical patterns of early Jewish demonology that are often manifested in these fallen angels’ imitation of the attributes of various heavenly beings, including principal angels and even God himself. Andrei A. Orlov is Associate Professor of Theology at Marquette University. He is the author of several books, including Selected Studies in the Slavonic Pseudepigrapha.

  • The Question of the Future of Indian Muslims in Malaysia: the Post-Mahathir Legacy Era
    AFRICAN AND ASIAN STUDIES African and Asian Studies 11 (2012) 219-246 brill.nl/aas The Question of the Future of Indian Muslims in Malaysia: The Post-Mahathir Legacy Era Ahmad Noor Sulastry Yurni* Department of Anthropology & Sociology, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, University of Malaya, 50603 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract The Malays, Chinese and Indian community in Malaysia have been homogenized since British colonialism. The existence of Indian Muslims’ identity caused a new paradigm shift in Malaysia involving the racial discussion. This paper traces the diffference in Indian Muslims’ identities from Indian and the Hindus. I argued that Indian Muslims share Islam as their religion and faith, while maintaining a Malay way of life and custom in their daily practices. In Malaysia, the Indian Mus- lim community struggled to place their future in terms of social, economic allocation and politi- cal justifijication among the other communities. However, the strength of ethnic politics clearly charted out their involvement in the political base and moved them to fijight for their cause and rights. Hence, today’s Indian Muslim community has caused an Islamic resurgence, which has brought a new Indian dimension as a whole. Keywords homogenized; religion; race; identity and human rights Introduction As a multi-racial country, Malaysia has four major ethnic groups, each with its own traditions: Malay, Chinese, Indian and the indigenous people. Indians form 7.8 percent of the country’s total population of 27 million and are mostly Hindu with origin from Tamil Nadu. The Muslim Malays form 60 percent of the population while the Chinese, who account for 25 percent, are Buddhists or Christians.
