1 MEDIA RELEASE for Immediate Release MINANGKABAU CULTURE MEDIA RELEASE For immediate release MINANGKABAU CULTURE TAKES CENTRESTAGE AT THE MALAY HERITAGE CENTRE Singapore, 16 May 2015 – The Minangkabaus – originally from West Sumatra, Indonesia, is a community which advocates that their people integrate and adhere to the lifestyle and practices of the new homeland in which they settled, while retaining the Minangkabau culture and traditions at the same time. Guided by this philosophy, notable Minangkabau personalities Yusof Ishak, Zubir Said, Eunos Abdullah and Lieutenant Adnan Saidi gave selflessly and significantly to the new country in which their forefathers had migrated to – Singapore. 2 In partnership with the Singapore Minangkabau Association (SMA), the Malay Heritage Centre (MHC) presents MARANTAU: Dima Bumi Dipijak Di Sinan Langik Dijunjuang (MARANTAU: Migration and Integration of the Minangkabau Community in Singapore), an exhibition which traces the history and development of the Minangkabau community and their fascinating culture. This is the second installation in MHC’s Se- Nusantara (“Of the Same Archipelago”) series, held annually to celebrate the rich ethnic diversity of the Malays in Singapore. The exhibition will be launched by Dr Maliki Osman, Minister of State for the Ministry of National Development and Ministry of Defence, on 16 May 2015, 7.30pm. 3 The Minangkabau people are unique among other ethnic cultures in the region as they are considered to be the largest surviving matrilineal society, in which lineage and inheritance are handed down via the mothers. Scholars have attributed this to the Marantau tradition – a rite of passage where men in the community leave their hometowns to explore other islands and regions, typically to trade or seek employment, in order to gain knowledge and experience. The women stay behind to take care of family and property. 4 The stories of the Minangkabaus are told through more than 60 community- contributed artefacts that reflect their vibrant culture and lifestyle. Star exhibits include a traditional wedding dais, a two-metre long handcrafted model of the Istana Pagaruyung (the royal palace of the former Pagaruyung Kingdom), rich gold-woven songket textiles, as well as salendang (women’s shoulder cloth) which are usually worn draped over one shoulder, over the traditional baju (costume), handed down over generations from mother to daughter. 5 As part of the exhibition, MHC and SMA will also be presenting a host of exciting programmes from music, dance, drama to textile-weaving demonstrations and public talks, which aim to provide deeper insights into the Minangkabau culture and traditions. Some key highlights include the performance of randai, a folk dance-drama which is rarely performed outside of West Sumatra; an evening fashion showcase which presents the colourful traditional Minang costumes; and a talk on Zubir Said and the Ishak brothers by their close family members. 1 6 Said the President of SMA, Mr Irianto Safari, “We are excited to work with MHC on this exhibition to present the uniqueness of the Minangkabau culture. Not only is this an excellent platform to further the public’s awareness of our culture, but also for us all to better appreciate and honour the contributions of prominent Minangs, like Singapore’s first President Yusof Ishak, Zubir Said, the composer of our national anthem, Majulah Singapura and Lieutenant Adnan Saidi who sacrificed his life defending his home. It is a fitting exhibition to celebrate our nation’s 50th year of independence indeed”. 7 Chairman of the Malay Heritage Foundation, Mdm Zuraidah Abdullah said, “The MARANTAU exhibition is the second exhibition to be held under the Se- Nusantara series. It aims to present a comprehensive overview of Singapore’s place in the wider Malay world and the significance of the Malays as part of the larger Singapore story. As Singapore’s Malay community comprises several sub-ethnic groups, it is important that we get to know the cultures of these groups. We hope through our exhibitions and programmes, visitors will gain a better understanding of how the different Malay sub-ethnic groups, such as the Minangs, Baweans, Javanese, add richness to Singapore’s multi- cultural society and spark conversations of our shared heritage”. 8 Please refer to Annex A for artefact highlights and Annex B for the full list of programmes. - End - For media queries, please contact: Keith Kay DID: 6220 5010 Mobile: 9628 4263 Email: [email protected] 2 About the Malay Heritage Centre Officially re-opened by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong in September 2012, the Malay Heritage Centre (MHC) showcases the history, culture and contributions of the Malay community within the context of Singapore’s history and multi-cultural society.

  • 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.

  • Gandang Tasa: the King of Processional Music in Minangkabau
    Arts and Design Studies www.iiste.org ISSN 2224-6061 (Paper) ISSN 2225-059X (Online) Vol.83, 2020 Gandang Tasa: The King of Processional Music in Minangkabau Yunaidi Asril ⃰ Karawitan Department, Faculty of Performing Arts Institut Seni Indonesia Padangpanjang Abstract Gandang tasa is a genre of traditional percussion music that continues to dominate various traditional and religious processions in Minangkabau, West Sumatra. Its musical power rests only on the performance of the rhythmic patterns of the gendang and tasa , which are played simultaneously and in an impulsive manner. The music is loud, energetic, and played in an open arena, either in the form of a procession or in an outdoor performance. The goal of this article is to discuss the dominant role of gandang tasa in various traditional and religious ritual processions in the Minangkabau community. The research method is a case study which focuses on the presence of gandang tasa in various ritual processions. The research results show that the loud, energetic character of the music, and the musical power of the rhythmic patterns played by the gandang tasa have led this music to dominate traditional and religious ritual processions in Minangkabau. Keywords : gandang tasa, king of processional music, energetic, Minangkabau DOI: 10.7176/ADS/83-02 Publication date: July 31st 2020 1. Introduction The people of Minangkabau have a variety of traditional music that is used in different traditional and religious ritual processions. Some ensembles, such as talempong, gandang oguang, gandang sarunai, gamad, katumbak, and gandang katipik , are used only for traditional ritual processions. Other ensembles are used solely for (Islamic) religious rituals; these include rabano , pano , and other similar genres using the frame drum.

  • English for the Indigenous People of Sarawak: Focus on the Bidayuhs
    CHAPTER 6 English for the Indigenous People of Sarawak: Focus on the Bidayuhs Patricia Nora Riget and Xiaomei Wang Introduction Sarawak covers a vast land area of 124,450 km2 and is the largest state in Malaysia. Despite its size, its population of 2.4 million people constitutes less than one tenth of the country’s population of 30 million people (as of 2015). In terms of its ethnic composition, besides the Malays and Chinese, there are at least 10 main indigenous groups living within the state’s border, namely the Iban, Bidayuh, Melanau, Bisaya, Kelabit, Lun Bawang, Penan, Kayan, Kenyah and Kajang, the last three being collectively known as the Orang Ulu (lit. ‘upriver people’), a term that also includes other smaller groups (Hood, 2006). The Bidayuh (formerly known as the Land Dayaks) population is 198,473 (State Planning Unit, 2010), which constitutes roughly 8% of the total popula- tion of Sarawak. The Bidayuhs form the fourth largest ethnic group after the Ibans, the Chinese and the Malays. In terms of their distribution and density, the Bidayuhs are mostly found living in the Lundu, Bau and Kuching districts (Kuching Division) and in the Serian district (Samarahan Division), situated at the western end of Sarawak (Rensch et al., 2006). However, due to the lack of employment opportunities in their native districts, many Bidayuhs, especially youths, have migrated to other parts of the state, such as Miri in the east, for job opportunities and many have moved to parts of Peninsula Malaysia, espe- cially Kuala Lumpur, to seek greener pastures. Traditionally, the Bidayuhs lived in longhouses along the hills and were involved primarily in hill paddy planting.

Historically, the Minangkabau migrants have coexisted peacefully with local communities in which they settle, and there is no record of conflict between the Minangkabau migrants and local inhabitants. This study attempted to determine the values espoused by this nomadic community. The study was grounded in literature study approach of philosophical hermeneutics and utilized methodical elements, such as description, induction deduction, synthesis analysis, and heuristics. The study also applied observation, and interviews with the Minangkabau migrants. The findings revealed that the culture of this ethnic group explicitly encourages young people to venture abroad. The ethical values that form the basis of the outmigration’s of the Minangkabau community are affirmed by the adat (local) proverbs that prescribe strong work ethics, mutual respect, and an understanding of the local culture to which they outmigrate.
