Example: the date where Portuguese Conquest of Malacca, the so-called Puteri Hang Lipoh and many more. As there are no proper record and evidences.<br /><br />As i still remember my form Four history lesson where we was force to study the whole chapter of Islamic civilisation....which was very complicated and hard to understands. Not only the Non-muslim students had the difficulties to understand but the Malay students also facing the same problems. I do felt that, it's was unbalance because it's too deep and details about the Islamic civilization's chapter. If compare with Hindu/Buddhism civilization it's was just one or two pages.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12123329.post-61301673687576563092010-07-24T02:46:41.879+08:002010-07-24T02:46:41.879+08:00Don't talk about Malaysian Malays here change ...Don't talk about Malaysian Malays here change histoli la..Lee Kuan Yew oso change Singapore's history lo...<br /><br />forget history la...u all die oso by 3rd generation ur own flesh and blood will never come visit ur grave lo.

That is why you have many versions of perspective out there. The ruling party believes that by revealing too much it will cause problems to their special privillege. Since they did mention time and again in history to teach people not to question what they do. That they are entitled to everything by birthright.

The Malay Sultanate is nothing but a puny power compared to the mighty Persian, Indian and Chinese empire. So why would they claim that they are using Malay? Doesnt make sense, I mean nowadays or in all history version, smaller countries always learn the language of the powerful, like nowadays, English.

The envoy, headed by Sa'ad ibn Waqqas, arrived in the Tang capital, Chang'an, in 651 via the overseas route. Huis generally consider this date to be the official founding of Islam in China. The Ancient Record of the Tang Dynasty recorded the historic meeting, where the envoy greeted Emperor Gaozong of Tang China and tried to convert him to Islam. Although the envoy failed to convince the Emperor to embrace Islam, the Emperor allowed the envoy to prosthelyze in China and ordered the establishment of the first Chinese mosque in the capital to show his respect for the religion.<BR/><BR/>Arab people are first noted in Chinese written records, under the name Da shi in the annals of the Tang dynasty (618-907). Records dating from 713 speak of the arrival of a Da shi ambassador. It is recorded that in 758, a large Muslim settlement in Guangzhou erupted in unrest and fled. The community had constructed a large mosque (Huaisheng Si), destroyed by fire in 1314, and constructed in 1349-51; only ruins of a tower remain from the first building.<BR/><BR/>During the Tang Dynasty, a steady stream of Arab and Persian traders arrived in China through the silk road and the overseas route through the port of Quanzhou. Not all of the immigrants were Muslims, but many of those who stayed formed the basis of the Chinese Muslim population and the Hui ethnic group. The Arab and Persian immigrants introduced polo, their cuisine, their musical instruments, and their knowledge of medicine to China.<BR/><BR/>[edit]<BR/>Song dynasty<BR/>During the Song Dynasty, Muslims in China dominated foreign trade to the south and west.<BR/><BR/>[edit]<BR/>Yuan dynasty<BR/>The Yuan Dynasty embraced Islam. The Mongols elevated the status of Muslims versus the Chinese, and placed many Muslims in high-ranking posts instead of Confucian scholars, relying on Muslims to administer the empire. The state encouraged Muslim immigration, as Arab, Persian and Turkic immigration into China accelerated during this period.<BR/><BR/>[edit]<BR/>Ming dynasty<BR/>Muslims continued to flourish in China during the Ming Dynasty. During Ming rule, the capital, Nanjing, was a center of Islamic learning.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12123329.post-1143975448829037952006-04-02T18:57:00.000+08:002006-04-02T18:57:00.000+08:00So this was indeed his-story, cerita dia :DLater, ...So this was indeed his-story, cerita dia :D<BR/><BR/>Later, they will say that Chinese and other races throughout the world came from the Malay Archipelago.
