This is a very good documentary. So many of my dear Malay friends in Spore are desendants of Orang Melayu of Spore and Orang Laut, the indigenious people of Singapore. They never came from anywhere else but here in this island of Singapura and they should be proud of it 💕
Singapore was part of what was known as the Malay archipelago. During those times, there was no Malaysia, Indonesia etc. Parts of Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, even Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia were in this archipelago. I became interested in this history before 1819 when i travelled to Bangkok and i came across Malay people(just like me). Seriously, i have never thought there were Malays in Thailand. The first meeting was in the MRT, when i was travelling from bangkok airport. This guy was looking at me in the train. makes me a bit uncomfortable as i was travelling solo. Then he spoke Malay to me, i was surprised. As we speak, he told me that he was from a place called " Sungei Golok" which i thought was in Malaysia. As we were conversing, then he told me that "Sungei Golok" was in Thailand, and that in southern Thailand there was 3 provinces of Malay people. Really surprising as before this i have heard that southern Thailand is inhibited by "Thai Muslims" but these people are Malay people just like me. Then after i got back from Thailand, i researched a lot about history before european invaders such as British came to Asia. Not to be racist but Chinese and Indians were actually migrant workers brought in by the British to Malaysia, Singapore to work and they are not actually natives to South East Asia. You can see how Malays, Siamese(Thais), Filipinos, Indonesians look alike and see how different Chinese, Indians are to them. In Singapore , we were mostly taught history of Singapore from 1819 onwards and i believe if you are to pursue history on a higher level you will learn more about Singapore before 1819
@@frankiesebadoh for me the waking up call was when i met the Thai Malay guy and i did my research. You can look up history of South East Asia. I normally google or youtube
Orang laut is one of Malay-sub Group, Jakun, Semelai, Temuan in Peninsular, they called orang asli, and in Sumatra, Sakai, Orang Kubu, Orang Laut, Talang. sakai also exist in Malay Peninsular, in Southern Thailand and Southern Burma, in NOthernmost Malay Peninsular, Urak Lawoi, Moken and Molken is one of Native Malay before Thai and Burmese, also malay muslim in Phuket, Krabi, Mergui Island, Trang, Phang-nga, 50% or Krabi is Malay muslim+Urak Lawoi. Urawk=Orang, Laut=Lawoi, it like dialect of Malay
The first 'founding' was by Sang Nila Utama and we were named 'Singapura'. We were renamed Singapore in 1819, but it's clear in our textbooks that at the time we were founded by Raffles, we technically belonged to the Dutch.
Do you know Raffles like to eat Malay foods. So much so, a Malay lady used to cook for him. As usual, gossipers suspect her to be Raffles' 'mistress'. Anyway, ask any English people and they gladly say 'Singapore belongs the Malays'. "Singapura...Oh Singapura Tanah Air Ku!"
Do you know Raffles was re written sejarah Melayu in salalatus salatin as same as he re written babad Tanah Jawi in Java island. Raffles was success in malays but not in Java. Cause so many Javanese inscriptions counter Raffles babad Tanah Jawi books
Typical story, everyone tries to force the idea that we were nothing before colonialism. Even in India which was driven from one of the richest regions into one of the poorest during the British Raj.
Nobody says Singapore was nothing before Raffles. Of course there was always trade across the Strait. But there were also pirates, and lawlessness and rapacious sultans. Raffles brought the idea of free trade, the “safe” harbor, and a uniform code of law under which all could prosper.....not just the outlaws, gangsters and potentates. Do you wonder why Singapore is different and better than its neighbor Indonesia? The answer begins with Raffles!
I mean Greco-Roman Astronomer Claudius Ptolemy identified Singapore back in 2nd-century AD, so our country must have meant something to the world back then.
@@apga1998 ah yes must you say something and relate it to Indonesia, yes it’s true that we are better in terms of community but there could be some Indonesians watching this and see this comment and probably be insulted at your statement.You’re only increasing the animosity between Indonesians and Singaporeans so be mindful of your words.
@@starorcarina8525 Thank you. I understand what you are saying. But there are reasons why some countries are safer, cleaner, more productive , or richer than others. I am not denigrating Indonesian people. I am saying Singapore had the benefit of a system introduced by Mr Raffles. And many countries, recognizing a successful country, study Singapore in order to appreciate what the the Singaporeans do right. There is no intent here to stir animosity. The goal is to improve the lot of humanity. There is a roadmap to prosperity, introduced by Mr Raffles, and we should not let our emotions cloud our vision. Best wishes for a healthy and happy 2021 !
I've been always check this channel as my attention that this channel has a video mosly about Singapore. So i want to make sure, is this channel was basically from Singapore?
Shucks!! This is like the Australian advocacy of their indigenous aboriginals!! Lions?....sure or not?...singha bukan natives in SE Asia lar...or India, fr that matter. But good vlog

Yes we are. Malays are the original inhabitants of Singapore.
@@AzmiBesarbut they already sold this land to British
So? How does that change that the fact that the indigenous people of Singapore are the Malays@@samchan3240
Amazing video!The younger generation must know about this and must preserve our rich history.Its sad to see that we have forgotten out roots.

It dependd on foreigners call.
Arab calls Jawi peoples = orang jawa
But Javanese calls Nusantara peoples = orang Nusantara
Want to know more? Visit Kota Tinggi(Daerah Sejarah) you won't miss the Malay keris and the Holy Koran with 'Selamat Datang' long before 1819...
where can i pursue history like this?

Orang laut is the most pioneered Singapore native people yet before raffles times
Orang laut is one of Malay-sub Group, Jakun, Semelai, Temuan in Peninsular, they called orang asli, and in Sumatra, Sakai, Orang Kubu, Orang Laut, Talang. sakai also exist in Malay Peninsular, in Southern Thailand and Southern Burma, in NOthernmost Malay Peninsular, Urak Lawoi, Moken and Molken is one of Native Malay before Thai and Burmese, also malay muslim in Phuket, Krabi, Mergui Island, Trang, Phang-nga, 50% or Krabi is Malay muslim+Urak Lawoi.

Right on! The 'economist' for Singapore is 'a Dutch' and the first oil refinery is a Dutch too...SHELL!

@@dayna6082 org laut is part of the malay tribes😂 they are called orang laut because they lived on the shores.
@@dayna6082 orang laut is part of Malay la ayooo
Yes, The Chinese there are colonizers. They are not indigenous.
Do you know Raffles was re written sejarah Melayu in salalatus salatin as same as he re written babad Tanah Jawi in Java island.
Raffles was success in malays but not in Java.
Cause so many Javanese inscriptions counter Raffles babad Tanah Jawi books
and also REMEMBER that Sang Nila Utama
was the FOUNDER of SINGAPURA & NOT...LKY the chief of JUNTA PAP
LKY brought Sg to where it is today.
@BlackBannerz How is it possible to be wealthier and better than modern times.?
@@tftfgubedgukm7911 because modern times sht out more carbons and are not sustainable.
Wasnt there already people even when sang nila utama discovered
LOL. I dont think there is someone as stupid to say LKY is founder of Singapore. I think i saw you in FB, keep saying PAP as JUNTA. So funny
something feels off in this video.
Orang Laut…. The real authentic naval diver
Yes I believe and I receive my blessings ❣️

Glad now we r dating the history bk to 700 yrs ago. Yay!
