“…In addition, the archaeological evidence at Sungai Batu Archaeological Complex which is heralded as the oldest civilization in Southeast Asia (Embong et al, 2016;Halim et al, 2021) such as Borobudor and Angkor Wat Temple, it is believed that the tourism package created since 2022 can be developed as an heritage tourism comparable to other archaeological heritage tourism sites in the world.…”

Archaeological research in the Kuala Muda district until 2022 has recorded three archaeological complexes that are still in-situ and can be visited by tourists. The archaeological evidence at Sungai Batu, Bukit Batu Pahat and Pengkalan Bujang Archaeological Complex which proves the existence of the Kedah Tua kingdom as the main trading location in the world. In order to obtain primary data, field research such as surveys, mapping and archaeological excavations are carried out to obtain in-situ data. The results of the study revealed that the Sungai Batu Archaeological Complex has been used as an iron smelting industrial area since 788 BC while the Bukit Batu Pahat and Pengkalan Bujang Archaeological Complexes have been used as a port and a Hindu-Buddhist complex since the 7th Century AD to the 13th Century AD. Based on the uniqueness of the archaeological data in the complex, as many as five tourism packages have been created to preserve this archaeological heritage tourism with the Sungai Batu Archaeological Complex (SBAC) has been made as a one stop center for the management of the tourism package.

“…The Malays comprised a diverse range of ethnic backgrounds in Southeast Asia, ranging from the Javanese to the western Indonesian Malay [ 62 ], with some recorded mass migration events of Malays from Indonesia to the Peninsular Malaysia late nineteenth century [ 63 ]. In Malaysia, the Malays classification is widely used as an umbrella term to unify individuals adhering to the official national religion, clouding its adherents’ genetic and ethnic background.…”

Geographical separation and ethnic origin influence the human gut microbial composition: a meta-analysis from a Malaysian perspective

et al. 2021

Ethnicity is consistently reported as a strong determinant of human gut microbiota. However, the bulk of these studies are from Western countries, where microbiota variations are mainly driven by relatively recent migration events. Malaysia is a multicultural society, but differences in gut microbiota persist across ethnicities. We hypothesized that migrant ethnic groups continue to share fundamental gut traits with the population in the country of origin due to shared cultural practices despite subsequent geographical separation. To test this hypothesis, the 16S rRNA gene amplicons from 16 studies comprising three major ethnic groups in Malaysia were analysed, covering 636 Chinese, 248 Indian and 123 Malay individuals from four countries (China, India, Indonesia and Malaysia). A confounder-adjusted permutational multivariate analysis of variance (PERMANOVA) detected a significant association between ethnicity and the gut microbiota (PERMANOVA R 2=0.005, pseudo-F=2.643, P=0.001). A sparse partial least squares – discriminant analysis model trained using the gut microbiota of individuals from China, India and Indonesia (representation of Chinese, Indian and Malay ethnic group, respectively) showed a better-than-random performance in classifying Malaysian of Chinese descent, although the performance for Indian and Malay were modest (true prediction rate, Chinese=0.60, Indian=0.49, Malay=0.44). Separately, differential abundance analysis singled out Ligilactobacillus as being elevated in Indians. We postulate that despite the strong influence of geographical factors on the gut microbiota, cultural similarity due to a shared ethnic origin drives the presence of a shared gut microbiota composition. The interplay of these factors will likely depend on the circumstances of particular groups of migrants.

“…The custom is a collective phenomenon that underlies Malay culture. In the past, Malays were kingdoms in the archipelago (Embong et al, 2016;Burhanudin, 2017;Burhanudin, 2018). A king must uphold Malay customs in exercising his power over his people.…”

The purpose of this study is to describe the migration of migrants to Tanjung Putus Village, Langkat Regency, North Sumatra Province which has an impact on the marginalization of the indigenous population. The local government seems to support the marginalization of the indigenous people, namely, Malays who come from the coast of Sumatra. This study uses ethnographic research, meaning that the researcher will act as an anthropologist to find and describe the factors of migration and the efforts of the Malay community to maintain their identity. Data was collected by means of observation, interview data and document study. The implication of marginalization is that there are differences in rights and obligations that are socially formed. The process of marginalization of ethnic Malays forms social patterns which are manifested in the attitudes and behaviors they embody in their daily lives and these conditions will be very vulnerable to conflict.
