When one thinks of Tuan, the image that comes to mind is a person of high caliber and good leadership. At least that is the modern image. The medieval image is one of imposition of force, denigration and rude suppression. To which category does Ketuanan Melayu belong?

By batsman

That the modern image has supplanted the medieval image is no accident. The barbaric methods of use of violence and force have been relegated to the past precisely because they are obsolete. Leadership and respect these days have to be earned, not imposed or demanded. That is also why Muslims all over the world are supremely confident that US barbarism and violence will lead to its eventual downfall.


In Malaysia, unfortunately the medieval way of thinking still pervades. Ketuanan Melayu is not only imposed by force but demanded as a birth right. That leadership and mastery must be of high caliber to be respected is not even an issue. Respect instead is demanded as a birth right and when that is not forthcoming, force is used to get it. This can only lead to the weakening of Malay culture in the long run and the destruction of the country that Ketuanan Melayu is master of.

This is why it is hypocritical of TDM to keep complaining that the Malays are not strong enough to exert true leadership when Ketuanan Melayu itself keeps Malay culture backward and uncompetitive. No, not just backward, but with a high level of tolerance for dirty tricks and the most heinous crimes against human rights and human dignity. This is not a culture of strength and decency that TDM promotes but a sinful one that practices the vilest of dirty tricks and violence that corrupts and makes miserable our everyday living environment.

This is also the reason why absolute monarchies all over the world have given way to constitutional monarchies. Monarchs have to be popular and exert good leadership qualities to survive the ravages of modern life and competition. Kings such as the Nepalese one have been forced to abdicate because they do not have the capability and leadership to stay on their thrones. Force and violence delayed the inevitable only for a short time, but did not avoid it altogether.


All empires that are based on force alone have vanished. Force can create empires but cannot sustain them. The British and Americans have used force to build their empires, but they also control mastery of medicine, art, engineering, commerce, finance, science and technology to mention just a few. But as weaker nations catch up in these fields, US barbarism and violence in warfare and suppression will make it lose its respect and leadership among equal nations. Britain is already in deep trouble and needs to print money to stay afloat. The US has been printing money as a monopoly under Bretton Woods for years but now needs to borrow trillions of dollars to stay afloat.

The reason for this is simple and it is not just a matter of ethics or morality or philosophy (whether medieval or modern) or even divine birth right. It is basically due to the fact that there are billions of ordinary people in the world and the assets as well as skills and talents they control (even though tiny when counted in an individual way) outweigh the assets and talents of those who claim leadership by birth right or by force. Once the whole people become united, no force that hereditary leaders can impose can match the power of an enraged and united people. This was what the US found out in Vietnam and is continuing to find out in other parts of the world even though it continues to engage in futile denial; thinking that its superiority in propaganda, money and weapons of war can delay the inevitable forever.

In fact, the simplest thing for the people of the world to do to regain their dignity and control of their lives is to make the simple decision to reject British and US influence and hegemony.

In Malaysia, there is a twist to the story. The Malays constitute the majority. The elites of all races depend on Ketuanan Melayu to impose their rule and get what they want. Even the Chinese elites support Ketuanan Melayu. This is because they can offer the technical and commercial skills still lacking among ordinary people to rake in stupendous profits while depending on the Ketuanan Melayu police and judiciary to protect their dirty deals.


Malaysia is like a luxury hotel for them to stay in and do business. Eventually when their advantage starts to dry up, they even use Ketuanan Melayu as an excuse to take their money out and emigrate to foreign countries, claiming the very discrimination that they have helped put in power for the last 52 years. Ketuanan Melayu is the real puppet of the Chinese elites, not PAS or Anwar Ibrahim.

The ordinary Chinese on the other hand also suffer exploitation under the Chinese moghuls. Ask any Chinese that works for nasty Chinese moghuls to see if it is easy or pleasant. The money that ordinary Chinese earn working under the big Chinese moghuls is earned through blood, sweat and tears over several generations.

But as is the facts of life, nothing is ever easy or clear cut. Many Malays still delude themselves that Ketuanan Melayu benefits them and many Chinese still delude themselves that Britain, US, Canada or Australia are Shangri-La’s that they aim to migrate to.

That is why patriotic Malays, Chinese and Indians still need to play it smart in politics. While maintaining equality amongst themselves and respect for each others’ right to organize and build up powerful political bases within their own communities, they still cannot afford to give credence to UMNO’s political accusations that PAS and Anwar Ibrahim are puppets of the non-Malays.


Among the opposition, it is still necessary for the Malays to lead the fight against UMNO. In the meantime, the Chinese and Indians do not just sit still. They must organized powerful support within their own communities in the fight against UMNO. They must be equal partners in this fight. It is of no use to patriotic Malays if the non-Malays are weak, cowardly and pliable when UMNO applies the pressure.

When UMNO whacks the non-Malays it must be made to feel as if it is whacking rock hard concrete and sharp hardened steel spikes. In the meantime, patriotic Malays must be sniping at UMNO from the side in coordinated campaigns.


I believe that the PR coalition will then be able to maximize its cooperation and coordination instead of just having a common political platform. In this way, there is a good chance for building a Malaysia that is free of corruption, incompetence, abuse of power and discrimination as well as having effective checks and balances and a politically neutral civil service.

If we are lucky, in 50 years time there won't be any Chinese, Indians, minorities left in Malaysia, Ketuana Melayu won't be a problem then.
 
My late dad worked for a rich local towkay.
This was the 50's
He always greeted the towkay with a salute, "Tabik Tuan"
What does this mean?
Can anyone please help!!!

It means much more.Sort of a master /servant relationship salutation=your lord.

Tuan means--sir,master,...but with a prefix like say tuan rumah means landlord

Tabik is salutation....but alone in bahasa indonesia could also means cheerio,bye bye ,so long and such

Malay.Anything from this side which includes Riau province,Peninsular Malaysia including Singapore is Malay.

For example--yes sir in malay is 'yah tuan' whereas in idonesian it is 'ya pak.'

Even where yah as in nodding yes is quite Malay but Indonesian(javanese) would stretch it to' ieeeyah.'

Here is an excerpt from historical pages.Nothing could be more accurate than this.

MALAY CUSTOMS.


"....Malays, when visiting a superior, crawl towards him on their knees, take his hand between their own, and bend forwards till their foreheads touch the floor. They then retire to a respectful distance, taking care not to turn their backs upon him, and sit down in the oriental cross-legged fashion. Sitting, not standing, is the position of respect. Every time they have occasion to address a superior, they raise the hands clasped in token of perfect submission. In addressing a person nearly equal, they take his hand between theirs and raise it towards their own foreheads.


In meeting Europeans on the road, the salutation is commonly, "Tabik Tuan," or "I salute you, sir," often accompanied by the American like enquiry, "Mana jalan?" "Where are you going?" or "Mana datang?" "Whence come you?" Among themselves it is the Arabic, "Salam W'Aleikum," " Peace be unto you," responded to by "W'Aleikum Salam," "And to you also." They do not like to pass or go before a superior on the road. They shew much disinclination to tell their own or the names of their parents, and if thus interrogated, look confused, desiring one of their companions or the bystanders to perform this service for them."....

yeah, noticed that even the big shot officials posted from Java also used Malay in the Riau area. Personal experiences.

That is because Melayu and Javanese don't see eye to eye.And such acrimonious relation had existed all along the history.Singapore was founded very much because a Malay royal descendent in Sumatra ,Paramewara ,refused to subjugate himself to Javanese rule.As a matter of fact Malaysia is more afraid of Javanese hegemony than Singapore Chinese majority.

In a real incident,Sipadan Island,was at the center of territorial dispute between Malaysia and Indonesia.International court of justice awarded that to Malaysia.I was in Indonesian side of Kalimantan at that time.You won't believe the amount of hatred exibited by Indonesians towards Malaysia.Indon army ,navy and air force were in full alert.People were on the street demonstrating.All Malaysians were warned to stay indoors.

That is why when every-time LKY uses Indonesia as a boogey mancomes every election --those familiar with Indonesia knows better.

Isn't the act mentioned above, a deviation from Muslim practices. It is more the Hindu style from the days of the Kalingha Empire that swept into Indonesia. The Majapahit and Sri Vijaya Kingdoms could shed some light.
Could it also be that the practice of yellow umbrella and showering of yellow rice is a continuity of the ancient Hindu practices that the Malays were practising since the day of Sang Nila Utama.
All this should have ended when Parmeswara became a Muslim.
Even recently, the Sejarah Melayu have distanced itself from further proclaiming Hang Tuah, Hang Jebat and Hang Lekiu as Malay warriors. God knows who was Hang Li Po?
Lets all, "Hang Em High..."
 
Well malay culture has had many influences from indians, chinese and arabs. Not really interestyed in this.

India was the pinnacle of civilization in ancient times.It influenced every civilizations.But you got the order a bit confused.Kalinga Empire was known for spreading Buddhism to East...thus Indians were called Keling Kia..but it was the Chola Empire of the Tamils,that made a real mark in SEA by their naval conquest...they conquered up to Vietnam.In fact no Asian civilization other than the Japanese,during the world war,account for such a naval victory over other Asian countries in the history....Indians under Chola empire were called Chulias---as our Chulia Street thus named.But it was during the Pallava dynasty that Tamils reached their epic of glory in the entire east....as almost all Hindu monuments such the Borobudur in Indonesia and Angkor Watt in Cambodia were built.....even the so called Singapore Stone found in the mouth of Singapore River by Raffles had the Pallavas scriptures.Not to mention a prince from the Pallava Dynasty who founded and etablished the Zen Buddhism and Shaolin Temple and it's martial art in China.

Here is an excerpt of the historical account:-



These legends are actually based on information derived from a qigong manual entitled Yijin Jing (易筋經). This is commonly translated into English as the “Muscle-Changing Classic,” “Tendon-Changing Classic,” “Muscle-Metamorphosis Classic,” etc. The manual has two prefaces purportedly written by two Chinese generals of different eras. The first preface by Tang Dynasty General Li Jing (李靖, 571- 649) tells the story of Bodhidharma’s seclusion in the cave for nine years and how the monks later found two books written by him inside an iron chest after his death. The first manual, Xisui Jing (洗髓經, Marrow-Washing Classic), was taken by his most senior disciple Huike (慧可) and disappeared. The second manual, the Yijin Jing, was coveted by the monks even though they could not fully understand the Sanskrit text. Sometime later, a monk tracked down the famous Indian holy man Paramiti who was able to translate it in full. After 100 days of practice, the monk gained an immortal body capable of living 10,000 eons. The manual later disappeared until it was passed on to Li Jing by the hero Qiuran ke (虯髯客, the Curly-Bearded Stranger) during the 7th century. The second preface by Song Dynasty General Niu Gao (牛皋) tells how he met a mysterious monk who had been the childhood teacher of his superior officer General Yue Fei (岳飛, 1103-1142). The monk passed Niu a letter and then magically vanished “to the West, to look for Master Bodhidharma.” [6] Yue read the letter which warned him of the fate that awaited him (execution on trumped up charges) if he returned to the capital. But being loyal to the end, Yue decided to return anyway. He gave Niu his copy of the manual before leaving. Niu buried the manual because he didn’t know anyone who was “capable of becoming a Buddha.”

You sure about this? Sounds like a case of indian worship if you ask me.

Thanks bro for the excellent and informative piece. Truly very enriching. Now I know about the Cholas and Pallavas.
There may be some connection in Thailand too. Many of their names are Indian sounding, eg Rama, Vishnu, etc...
