 | | Many Malays in Mindanao were also Muslim, but are recounted to have been the 23rd and last group in the waves of migration, to have arrived in the Philippines from the south. | | | The Malay cultural sphere has something to do with the historic pre-eminence of the ethnic Malay in the sea trading route. | | | Surinam, on the north-eastern coast of South America, has a large population of ethnic Javanese descendants of fairly recent immigrant workers. |

| | Malays had already long been a part of this trading world in which the Muslim network was simply the latest development. | | | The movement is viewed suspiciously by some of the latter as yet another instrument by which the Malays would justify their dominance over the other ethnic communities. | | | In the congenial atmosphere of the Riau court, particularly that of the Raja Muda on the island of Penyengat, religious writings and theological debates flourished, attracting Muslim scholars from all parts of the archipelago. |

| | UMNO, which has historically been the defender of Malay nationalism and the nation's dominant party, saw its seats fall to 74 from 94 in the outgoing parliament. | | | In the same year the Malayan Communist Party was formed and began a guerrilla uprising against the British that became known as the Emergency. | | | Earlier in the 1950's, he and other leaders had formed a political alliance of the three main ethnic parties: the United Malays National Organization, the Malayan Chinese Association, and the Malayan Indian Congress. |

| | Islam became so fused with Malay society that to become a Muslim, it was said, was masuk melayu--to enter into the fold of the Malay. | | | Even more Malays were converted to Islam by Muslim missionaries. | | | It pictures Malacca as a port thronged with traders from all lands and describes a court filled with all kinds of people--power brokers, sycophants, adventurers, warriors, and heroes. |

| | It is to be noticed that the Malays present a compact front against Christianity, and have successfully resisted all missionary enterprise. | | | The States undoubtedly have fallen, in many ways, into evil case; the privileged few, consisting of rajahs and their numerous kindred and children, oppressing the unprivileged many, living in idleness on what is wrung from their toil. | | | The controversy respecting the identity of its Mount Ophir with the Ophir of Solomon has been "threshed out" without much result, and the supposed allusion to the Malacca Straits by Pliny is too vague to be interesting. |

| | The present-day Malays of the Peninsula and coasts of the Malay Archipelago are described anthropologically as deutero-Malays and are the descendants of the tribal proto-Malays mixed with modern Indian, Thai, Arab and Chinese blood. | | | The influence of Hindu India was historically very great, and the Malay were largely Hinduized before they were converted to Islam in the 15th century. | | | Malays have also preserved some of their more ancient, animistic beliefs in spirits of the soil and jungle, often having recourse to medicine men or shamans (bomohs) for the treatment of ailments. |
