Mahathir should be grateful to the Chinese for this

[Peter Ahmad Muniandy Wong]

• Ma-li-yu-er – mentioned in the chronicle of Yuan Dynasty, referring to a nation of Malay peninsula that faced the southward expansion of Sukhothai Kingdom, during the reign of Ram Khamhaeng. The chronicle stated: "..Animosity occurred between Siam and Ma-li-yu-er with both killing each other ...". In response to the Sukhothai's action, a Chinese envoy went to the Ram Khamhaeng's court in 1295 bearing an imperial decree: "Keep your promise and do no evil to Ma-li-yu-er".

Why add er to melayu? mela-yu-er
There are melayus in Cambodia snd vietnam. Where Thailand is currently, I think was populated by melayu too. But they did not convert to Islam and eventually assimilated as thais.
