  • Theravada Practices and Religious Life in Kelantan1
    Volume 1, Number 1, 2006 BUDDHISM IN A MUSLIM STATE: THERAVADA PRACTICES AND RELIGIOUS LIFE IN KELANTAN1 Mohamed Yusoff Ismail School of Social, Development and Environment Studies Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Abstract Although Kelantan is noted for its orthodoxy, in particular with regard to national politics and local practices of Islam, Theravada Buddhism seems to thrive very well among the local Thai ethnic group. This is testified by the fact that there are twenty temples in the state with a full-fledged Sangha organization, whose monks also serve in major towns outside the state. This paper describes some aspects of Theravada religious life in the Malay Muslim state of Kelantan, located south of Thai-Malaysian border in the east coast of the Malay Peninsula. The main concern of this paper is to examine how Thai Theravada Buddhism places itself in the context of a predominantly Malay society and adapts to local social and cultural conditions. The paper will give particular attention to the sociological and anthropological factors contributing to the non-antagonistic nature of relationship between Buddhism and Islam. Part of the answer can be traced to the historical origin of Buddhist temples in the area and also from the adaptive mechanism Theravada Buddhism has made in order to accommodate itself to the demand of the larger society in which the Thais are a minority group. In terms of its ecclesiastical organization, the Sangha body of Kelantan maintains a close link with the Thai clergy, the latter being the source of religious reference and validation.

  • PENANG CHINESE CUSTOMS and TRADITIONS1 Goh Sang
    Kajian Malaysia, Vol. 33, Supp. 2, 2015, 135–152 PENANG CHINESE CUSTOMS AND TRADITIONS1 Goh Sang Seong School of Humanities, Universiti Sains Malaysia, MALAYSIA Email: [email protected] The Chinese first settled in Penang about two centuries ago bringing along with them their cultural practices from China. However, with the passing of time their cultural practices had undergone significant changes especially among the Hokkien Chinese who comprise the majority of the Chinese community in Penang. This essay examines the customs and traditions of the Penang Chinese from the aspects of beliefs and prayer ceremonies, festive celebrations, artefacts and daily activities in a more comprehensive manner. The influences of modern education and geographical environments have resulted in the evolution of their own unique and distinctive variation of Chinese customs. Their festive celebrations, beliefs, practices and daily activities reveal the inheritance from their ancestors from China besides the incorporation of Malay sociocultural elements. In fact, some customs are peculiar only to the Penang Hokkien who had to survive in an environment that was different from China although these customs are still based on traditional Chinese concepts and philosophy. The difference is the way in which these customs and traditions are celebrated. Present day Penang Chinese remain loyal to traditional customs brought by their ancestors from China although there is evidence of assimilation with Malay elements. Keywords: Penang Chinese, customs, heritage, Malay elements INTRODUCTION As early as the 15th century, Penang (known to the Chinese as Bin Lang Yu) had already existed on the map used by Admiral Cheng Ho in his expeditions to Southeast and Central Asia (Tan, 2007: 17).

  • Language Choice of Melanau Community in DARO District, Sarawak
    International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences 2017, Vol. 7, No. 10 ISSN: 2222-6990 Language Choice of Melanau Community in DARO District, Sarawak Habibu Morsili, Karim Harun (PhD) and Azrizan Abu Bakar Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities, National University of Malaysia, 43600 Bangi, Selangor, Malaysia DOI: 10.6007/IJARBSS/v7-i10/3373 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.6007/IJARBSS/v7-i10/3373 Abstract The Melanau community in Sarawak is an ethnic minority that covers 5% of Sarawakians. The Melanau ethnic population dominates the central part of Sarawak. The Melanau ethnic group speaks in Melanau because Sarawak has more than 27 ethnic groups so these multi ethnicities cause them to communicate with each other in a shared language. The current study in the Daro area of Sarawak analyzes language selection patterns, describes aspects of code conversion in the communication process and describes the factors that influence the choice of Melanau society language during the communication process. Sociolinguistic approaches and qualitative methods are applied to this study. The data were collected using interview recording techniques, observation and recording interviews. The underlying theory of the study was Fishman's Domain Theory (1972). Keywords: Melanau Community, Sociolinguistic, Language Choice, Qualitative Approach, Domain INTRODUCTION One of the important aspects of sociolinguistic study is language choice. Language selection studies show signs of occurrence as a result of community-based multilingual and dialectic attitudes. Through the study of such language choices can explain the use of language in the community (Asmah 2008). The clashes of ethnic diversity during daily activities led them to choose the language they mastered and understood together to communicate.

Hamid Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Norfazila Ab. Hamid Kolej Universiti Islam Antarabangsa Selangor Abstrak Kajian varian Melanau (VM) ini dianalisis dari era kolonial, iaitu pada awal abad ke-19 sehinggalah abad ke-20. Huraian ini dianalisis secara kritis dari sudut ilmu linguistik perbandingan. Sesungguhnya, kajian terhadap VM ini, mula dicetuskan oleh para mubaligh dan diikuti oleh golongan antropolog. Kajian pada awal abad ke-19 dan ke-20 lebih tertumpu kepada pengumpulan bentuk- bentuk kosa kata bahasa Melanau dan lokasi penempatan etnik tersebut. Kajian VM sekitar abad ke-20 dilihat terus berkembang. Pada peringkat ini, kajian fosil linguistik yang menekan pada aspek interaksi kebahasaan yang bersumberkan pada aspek genetik mula diberikan penekanan. Kajian VM dari tahun 1890-1970-an memperlihatkan satu perkembangan kajian yang boleh dikatakan sebagai satu usaha yang tidak pernah putus yang dilakukan oleh para pengkaji untuk mengungkap VM ini. Bermula daripada ahli mubaligh atau pendakwah, kajian VM ini diteruskan lagi oleh golongan budaya dan para ahli linguistik. Usaha yang telah dilaksanakan oleh para pengkaji ini harus dipuji kerana melalui kajian ini masyarakat dunia akan lebih mengenali dan memahami nilai budaya masyarakat.

  • Temple Visit Essay
    SSA1208 Everyday Life of Chinese Singaporeans: Past & Present TEMPLE VISIT ESSAY Temple Name: Ban Hock Temple (万福宫) App Profile ID: 144 Tutorial Group: D12 Group Members: May Chan Tan Xin Hui Zoey Ten Jia Shun This report aims to give readers an insightful look into Ban Hock Temple (万福宮). Located at 489 Serangoon North Avenue 1, Ban Hock Temple is one of the 5 temples located in a united temple - Teng San Tian Hock (镇山天福宫) (Appendix A). Chapter 1 will give a brief introduction into Teng San Tian Hock, with subsequent chapters delving deeper into Ban Hock Temple and the interesting facts that the group has learnt during the temple visit. 1.0 TENG SAN TIAN HOCK (镇山天福宫) 1.1 HISTORY Teng San Tian Hock (镇山天福宫) comprises of 5 different temples – Ban Hock Temple (万福宮)，Ann San Temple (安山庙), Leng Tian Keng (龙镇宫), Kiat Leng San Temple (吉龙山庙) and Cheo Teik Temple (石竹庙). The floorplan of the temple can be found in Appendix B. These 5 temples came together to form the united temple due to their past geographical locations (Appendix C). These 5 temples were initially located in the vicinity of Lorong Chuan and Ang Mo Kio but were forced to relocate in the early 1980s due to land acquisition by the government to construct the current Ang Mo Kio Depot. The current site in 489 Serangoon North Ave 1 was awarded to these temples in 1983 and construction started not long after in that current year. All 5 temples shifted into the new compound in 27th June 1985, the 10th day of the 5th month in the lunar calendar (农历五月初十).

  • Passive Agents in Malay: the Binding Properties and Discourse Functions of Agentive =Nya
    Passive agents in Malay: The binding properties and discourse functions of agentive =nya Paul KROEGER Graduate Institute of Applied Linguistics & SIL Intl. [email protected] Influential work by Arka & Manning (1998) argues that the prefix di- marks a passive, unless the agent is expressed by the pronominal clitic =nya attaching to the verb. They analyze =nya in such cases as a core argument, meaning that the di-V=nya construction involves ergative or inverse alignment, rather than passivization. Their crucial evidence for this claim is an apparent contrast in binding properties between agentive =nya and the agentive PP. I argue that this contrast is due to pragmatic factors, including the high inherent topicality of clitic pronouns, rather than any difference in syntactic status, and that the prefix di- always marks a true passive. 1. Introduction1 This paper reviews a variety of evidence concerning grammatical relations in Malay, with special attention to the passive agent. I argue, contra Arka & Manning (1998), that the agent of the di-V=nya construction is not a core argument, and thus (contra Hopper (1979, 1983) and Verhaar (1984, 1988)) that the di-V form is always passive. I begin in section 2 with an overview of the Malay voice system and a discussion of symmetric voice. Sections 3–4 discuss various syntactic tests for identifying grammatical subjects, and for distinguishing core arguments from oblique arguments and adjuncts.2 While a number of good subjecthood tests have been identified for Malay, it turns out to be a bit more difficult to distinguish core from oblique. However, this is the crucial difference between passive and Objective Voice: the Objective Voice is transitive (two core arguments) whereas the passive is intransitive (only one core argument).
