שמע ישראל ה' אלהינו ה' אחד
فمن كان يرجوا لقاء ربه فليعمل عملا صالحا ولا يشرك بعبادة ربه أحدا

Traditional Malays

Posted By Snow at 2/20/2011

The traditional malay house
I remember my grandma's house have stilts like this
It looks very cozy for the lush tropical greenery
وتسلموا على أهلها [Q24:27-28]


The giant wau bulan (moon kite)
Kite flying is a fun recreational activity & famous in the east coast
I once made this kite in school, only smaller in size


The art of batik textile
It's special for piping hot wax to the pattern edges before coloring
A finished batik textile looks like this


Decorated wedding gifts
Several trays of gifts are exchanged between the bride & groom
After the nikah, they exchange rings and only then they can touch | photo


Asam Laksa
I love this fish-based sour noodle, easily found at the night market | video
& many others - kuih muih, apam balik, bubur kacang, cendol | cookies
Only I personally still need rice & dishes to fill up (◠9◠)

Just a note

Malaysia is located here in the South East Asian region. It has its origins from several ancient Sultanates - the most famous is the Malaccan Sultanate [ref] which ruled the international Malacca port, once a trading center between the East and West.

Then the Malaccan Sultanate fell under the Portuguese & Dutch; followed by the British Empire, which also took over the other Sultanates. A brief Japanese invasion during WW2 and ethnic cooperation led to its independence from the British in 1957.

Once Tanah Melayu, it is renamed to Malaysia in 1963. [ref] The country included the Peninsular, Sabah, Sarawak and Singapore; but in 1965 Singapore withdrew itself. The pace of modernization grew rapidly towards the 21st century, and the country is now a mix of the old & the new. الحمد لله

يا غلام إني أعلمك كلمات
احفظ الله يحفظك
احفظ الله تجده تجاهك

إذا سألت فاسأل الله
وإذا استعنت فاستعن بالله

واعلم‏‏ أن الأمة لو اجتمعت
على أن ينفعوك بشيء
لم ينفعوك إلا بشيء
قد كتبه الله لك

وإن اجتمعوا
على أن يضروك بشيء
لم يضروك بشيء
إلا بشيء قد كتبه الله عليك

رفعت الأقلام وجفت الصحف
