  • Btsisi', Blandas, and Malays
    BARBARA S. NOWAK Massey University SINGAN KN÷N MUNTIL Btsisi’, Blandas, and Malays Ethnicity and Identity in the Malay Peninsula Based on Btsisi’ Folklore and Ethnohistory Abstract This article examines Btsisi’ myths, stories, and ethnohistory in order to gain an under- standing of Btsisi’ perceptions of their place in Malaysia. Three major themes run through the Btsisi’ myths and stories presented in this paper. The first theme is that Austronesian-speaking peoples have historically harassed Btsisi’, stealing their land, enslaving their children, and killing their people. The second theme is that Btsisi’ are different from their Malay neighbors, who are Muslim; and, following from the above two themes is the third theme that Btsisi’ reject the Malay’s Islamic ideal of fulfilment in pilgrimage, and hence reject their assimilation into Malay culture and identity. In addition to these three themes there are two critical issues the myths and stories point out; that Btsisi’ and other Orang Asli were original inhabitants of the Peninsula, and Btsisi’ and Blandas share a common origin and history. Keywords: Btsisi’—ethnic identity—origin myths—slaving—Orang Asli—Peninsular Malaysia Asian Folklore Studies, Volume 63, 2004: 303–323 MA’ BTSISI’, a South Aslian speaking people, reside along the man- grove coasts of the Kelang and Kuala Langat Districts of Selangor, HWest Malaysia.1* Numbering approximately two thousand (RASHID 1995, 9), Btsisi’ are unique among Aslian peoples for their coastal location and for their geographic separation from other Austroasiatic Mon- Khmer speakers. Btsisi’, like other Aslian peoples have encountered histori- cally aggressive and sometimes deadly hostility from Austronesian-speaking peoples.

Part of the areas include the district of Ranau, Kota Marudu and Kota Belud. Some of the areas involved if not all are under a national park program prior to this. This gazettement undoubtedly has the potential to bring economic benefit to the state. It has the potential to increase land value, stimulating economic activities especially in the services sector via tourism activities, enhancing protection for environment and as a mean to control aggressive use of land for development. On the other hand, there are some concerns of stakeholders. Issues such as potential restriction for farmers to do agriculture related activities and relocation of village among others are potential concern among communities in Ranau, Kota Marudu and Kota Belud. In this regard, in order to examine the real concerns of various stakeholders, some series of roundtable discussions and interviews have been undertaken. Based on the preliminary assessment, very small number of individuals have worry about the geopark idea. Majority look at it positively.

  • Covid-19 Fears Forces JB Chingay Celebrations to Be Toned Down
    Covid-19 fears forces JB Chingay celebrations to be toned down Malaysiakini 12 February 2020 CORONAVIRUS | The annual Chingay parade in Johor Bharu regularly draws hundreds of thousands of revellers onto the streets. In light of the ongoing Covid-19 outbreak, however, the organisers said they will scale down the celebrations on Friday although the state government advised them to cancel the parade. “The government believes that if the disease spreads, it will not be able to maintain control of the situation. We respect the state government’s decision and cancel this activity […] “However, the procession of the deities is our tradition, so for this year, we will do the next best thing. “We have negotiated with the state government, so the five deities will be paraded on the back of trucks, while other things like the dragon and lion dances, parade floats are all cancelled. “I am very sorry. Everyone has worked hard to prepare for the parade, especially the floats. Millions have backed the floats, but it will not materialise,” Johor Baru Tiong Hua Association president Ho Sow Tong told a press conference today. Customarily, effigies representing the deities would have been loaded onto litters to be carried by a group of people during the parade. According to Bernama, last year, some 300,000 people had attended the parade. In a statement earlier today, the Johor government had urged the organisers to cancel the Chingay parade over concerns it would help spread the Covid-19 disease. Menteri Besar Sahruddin Jamal said the decision was based on the state Health Department’s risk assessment and its inability to conduct large-scale health screening of the parade’s visitors.
