Malay immigrants from Sumatra

As I have said earlier in my post that Malays of these generations are the descendants of Malays who migrated from Sumatra and other Islands in Indonesia. Like Indians and Chinese they too came to malays to seek their fortune but not in any other field but fishing and farming. So, the Malays too are pendantang and I feel there should be no special rights but equal  treatment for all. Here is  the story of one such person:





In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate and the Most Merciful, Ibegin this memoir in January 1976 at my home at No. 11, Jalan Menteri,Matang, Perak. I am now 66 years old.

I was born in Matang atdusk on 21 August 1910, when Muslims in the nearby mosque were busycelebrating the auspicious Israk Mikraj (ascension of Prophet Mohammeds.a.w. to heaven). The mosque was actually a British sop to placate theMatang Malays who had been infuriated by the hanging of five Malay andOrang Asli (aboriginal) patriots. These patriots, including DatukSagor, Datuk Sri Maharajalela, Si Putum and Datuk Panglima Endut, hadbeen accused of complicity in the murder of Perak抯 first BritishResident, J.W.W. Birch, in Pasir Salak in September 1875.

Mylate grandfather, Haji Aminuddin bin Haji Abdul Kadir, was a penghulu(village or county headman) in Sungai Tinggi, Perak. According to ourfamily tree, we are descended from Sultan Alam Shah of the PagaruyungSultanate in West Sumatra, but the family later moved to Batu Bara,North Sumatra. There, they became community leaders and excelled astraders with their own vessels. Most were thus titled Nakhoda or憈rader captain

i've got a book yg membuktikan org Melayu bukan penduduk sebenar tanah Melayu.
kita dpt special rights sbb perjanjian British dgn Sultan masa nak declare independent from Union Jack.

patutnye yg dpt special rights ni hanya org asli. org melayu pun kira pendatang. buku dah buktikan byk cume kita tanak baca...

Melayu sbg pendatang dgn Cina/ India sbg pendatang adalah satu perkara yg amat berbeza...

orang yang memperjuangkan kebebasan tanah air kita adalah melayu. nasionalis terawal adalah melayu islam. trade union terawal melayu islam. gerakan anti western capitalism dan anti colonialism adalah dipelopori nasionalis melayu dan islam. negara ini di ambil daripada orang melayu maka ianya haruslah dipulangkan pada orang melayu.
