Melayu Telah Di Bangangkan Sejak Sekian Lama !!!

BPPNS menulis "



Seringkali bila kita diperingatkan atau menonton filem Melayu mengenai kejatuhan Empayar Islam Melaka di tangan orang Portugis, kemudian Belanda, kemudian Inggeris, kita digambarkan bahawa pahlawan-pahlawan Melayu kita berjihad mempertahankan Tanah Melayu ini dengan hanya menggunakan keris, pedang, tombak dan panah. Sedangkan orang Eropah menggunakan senapang, pistol dan meriam.

Hakikatnya Empayar Islam Melaka mempunyai meriam yang jauh lebih canggih daripada tentera Portugis, Belanda dan Inggeris. Dan Melayu di zaman Empayar Islam Melaka maju bukan kerana mereka menggunakan Bahasa Inggeris dan tulisan rumi, tapi mereka boleh maju walaupun dengan Bahasa Melayu dan tulisan Jawi. Sekali lagi Melayu telah dibangangkan bahawa Melayu ini mundur, tidak mempunyai ilmu untuk membuat persenjataan canggih, pernah dulu Melayu diperlekehkan hendak buat paku pun tak tahu.
Berikut adalah sedikit fakta sejarah yang membuktikan orang Melayu di zaman Empayar Islam Melaka jauh lebih hebat daripada orang Eropah.

Lebih kurang seabad selepas senjata api dicipta oleh orang Arab, orang Melayu mula membuat senjata api. Bukti kegiatan ini telah didokumenkan oleh W Linehan dalam penulisan beliau bertajuk beberapa Pertemuan Di Tembeling. Di tebing Sungai Tembeling di Semenanjung Malaysia, dia telah menjumpai beberapa acuan untuk membuat meriam pada abad ke 13 dan 14.
Menurut penakluk Melaka, Alfonso d'Albuquerque, pembuatan senjata api orang-orang Melaka adalah setanding dengan orang Jerman. Ini bermakna ianya lebih baik dari orang Portugis, tetapi senjata yang terbaik ketika itu adalah dari kerajaan Uthmaniah Turki. Apabila Portugis mengalahkan Melaka, mereka menjumpai beribu-ribu meriam termasuk satu meriam yang begitu besar yang Alfonso telah menghantar ke sekutunya di India iaitu Zamorin dari Calicut.

Meriam-meriam yang dihasilkan oleh kesultanan Melayu terdiri dari pelbagai mutu. Yang paling kuat dibuat oleh sultan yang kaya. Meriam-meriam orang Melayu yang terbaik dengan mudah dapat menghancurkan kapal-kapal perang Eropah ; antaranya Syarikat Belanda India Timur hilang kapal perangnya apabila mereka menyerang Makassar pada tahun 1667 dan satu lagi pada abad ke 18 apabila mereka menyerang orang Bugis di Bintan. Meriam-meriam yang dihasilkan oleh orang Makassar adalah dari kualiti yang tinggi yang diminta sebagai ganti rugi oleh orang Belanda (walaupun orang Belanda yang memulakan peperangan).
Kerajaan Melayu Siam juga telah membuat meriam-meriam yang terbaik di Pattani. Dalam tahun 1571 mereka telah menyiapkan dua meriam yang berukuran 22 kaki dan 7 inci. Meriam-meriam ini amat berjasa dalam mempertahankan Pattani daripada beberapa serangan Siam selama lebih dua ratus tahun. Pattani akhirnya tewas di tangan Siam pada tahun 1786 dan meriam-meriam besar Pattani telah dibawa ke Bangkok. Salah satu meriam, Seri Negeri jatuh ke dalam laut ketika hendak dibawa. Yang satu lagi Seri Patani dipamerkan di Kementerian Pertahanan Thailand.
Alahai, Melayu dibangangkan sejak sekian lama, yang lelaki dengan imej keris dan perempuan dengan imej berkemban. Sepatutnya lelaki dengan imej pistol atau senapang dan perempuan dengan tudungnya. Melayu lebih canggih dan mempunyai kepakaran yang bukan setanding tapi lebih hebat dari orang Eropah, walaupun dengan berBahasa Melayu dan menggunakan tulisan Jawi.

Original Script Of Fei Xin's Xin Cha Shen Lan (Description Of The Starry Raft)





Fei Xin's description of Malacca



Fei Xin (Chinese: ??) was the Ming dynasty admiral Zheng He's translator. In his Description of the Starry Raft (1436), early Malacca was included.

He noted that Malacca people which was the Malays had "their skin resembled black lacquer, but there were some white-skinned people among them who are of ethnic Tang. Men and women appeared in mallet-like chignon hair style, simple and kind lifestyle, they fish at rivers and at sea. The coastal village was inhabited by very few peoples and was not ruled by any neighboring kingdoms. The only produce of Malacca was tin, from a river. Tins obtained from river were fired into tin block (konwn as Tin ingot) where each weigh 1.4 jin. Malacca paid annual 40 golds to Siam as tax..

An era on the cusp, captured


Sunday April 1, 2007



By NEIL KHOR

Classic black and white images dating back to the late 1800s offer a glimpse of a time when global culture was just emerging.


IT was a time when horizons were expanding and worlds meeting, at times, colliding. It was a time when cultures were opening up and ideas were being exchanged. It was a time ... when people primped and prettied up to pose for photographs.




Perak Sultan Idris retains touches of his Malay identity amidst the regalia of a British uniform: a crescent moon on his headdress for Islam, and a sampin(waist cloth) made of that very Malay weave, songket. All photos courtesy of the Victoria & Albert Museum, London


One sat for a photograph, properly and formally, in one best. One coiffed one hair carefully and wore the latest fashion. In this impatient age of digital cameras, only movie stars and models undergo such preparation before facing the lens. But back when the world was slower a couple of centuries ago, things were different and everyone, if they could afford it, had a formal portrait done.  

If you were Someone, you had your photo taken at the Lafayette Photographic Studio in London New Bond Street. In 1887, Queen Victoria gave the studio a royal warrant, acknowledging its importance in capturing the faces of those who owned and ran the Empire. In the five short years it had been in existence until then, its cameras had peered into the faces of London high society as well as Eastern potentates.

It is images of the latter that will make particularly fascinating viewing for Malaysians.

An exhibition of photos from the Lafayette image bank at London Victoria & Albert Museum, with an emphasis on those with an Asian connection, will open at the Islamic Arts Museum in Kuala Lumpur on Thursday. The exhibition is organised by the Islamic Arts Museum with support from HSBC Bank (Malaysia) Berhad.  

The late 19th and early 20th centuries may have been oppressively Victorian for many  not only for British citizens but also the citizens of Britain colonies  but for the elite this was a time of openness and international understanding. The Lafayette Studio is a symbol of these times: it was a force that brought people from many parts of the world together for their mutual benefit. This force also led to an ultimately non-confrontational approach to independence, especially evident in Malaysia. One section of the exhibition will be dedicated to Merdeka, in all its photographic glory.




Vicountess Hayashi was photographed in elaborate court dress.


One of the most interesting aspects of the exhibition, according to Islamic Arts Museum curator Lucien de Guise, is how the story of this newly emerging global culture is told in these black and white photographs. Sitters shared the same setting and space, but participated actively in the making their own identities  a reflection, perhaps, of old colonies learning to forge their own new, nationalistic identities?

Even where people appeared to have adopted European style, they still retained references to their own culture in their choice of jewellery, weapons, headdress, shoes or fabrics, he explained.

Perak Sultan Idris (reigned from 1887 to 1916, main photo), for example, appears regal in military uniform. While the star and sash was part of his regalia as a British Knight of the Order of St Michael and St George (KCMG), the crescent moon on his headdress was there to represent his religion. Slightly hidden under the vest but unmistakable is the sampin (cloth around the waist) made of songket (cloth woven with gold and silver thread)  a traditional element that gives the uniform its Malay identity.  

The exhibition is divided into four broad categories comprising images of sitters in traditional and Western costume and in uniform as well as those of a selection of interesting individuals closely connected with Asia. Together, these images catch an age on the cusp, one that was still clinging to prim protocol yet was beginning to feel the effects of social and economic upheavals that were eroding the strictures of rank and class.  




The Westernised, wealthy middle class Madame Wellington Koo posed in a more modern looking dress.


Take, for instance, the image of Kedah Sultan Abdul Hamid (reigned from 1882 to 1943), who sat at Lafayette in 1911. There is a curious story behind this photo. The sultan had been knighted in conjunction with the coronation of King George V and, of course, was to have his photo taken at the imperial studio. British protocol required national dress but, unfortunately, the sultan had not brought anything with him. So a London tailor quickly produced a costume!  

Dr Amin Jaffer, the V&A curator and a Lafayette specialist, explained that the rigidity of protocol at these events extended to the type of shoes a native ruler was allowed to wear. Dressing, decorations and headgear were markers of a person position in the imperial pantheon, he said.

But by the late 1880s and early 1900s, it wasnt just royalty with its insistence on protocol and Groper dress that was walking through Lafayette doors. The images of aristocrats must also be juxtaposed with those outside the spectrum of power.

Changes in British society were accelerated by the Industrial Revolution in the early 19th century; by the 1920s, after World War I, the old class structure based upon aristocratic connections, landed gentry and military traditions was crumbling. A new elite, whose wealth did not come from landed property but from industry, was emerging. And they, too, wanted to have their portraits done.




Kedah Sultan Abdul Hamid had to sit for his portrait in a hastily sewn costume, as protocol required national dress and he hadnt brought any.

Look at the portraits of the Viscountess Hayashi and Madame Wellington Koo (nee Oei Hui Lan). These two Asian women came from very different worlds. Hayashi, who sat for her portrait in 1902, belonged to the Japanese aristocracy, and wore an elaborate court dress for her photograph. Koo, on the other hand, although no less wealthy, was part of the emerging Westernised middle class and chose a less ornate and more modern looking Dream brocaded velvet dress when she sat in 1921.  

Koo was the daughter of Oei Tiong Ham, the Peranakan Chinese sugar king of Java, and the wife of Wellington Koo, a diplomat and one time prime minister of China. By 1921, women like her were beginning to express their individuality through hairstyle and dressing. And Koo, a modern Asian woman with financial means, could sit at Lafayette, the imperial studio.

Yes, the times, they were a-changin and these portraits, along with their stories, have captured that change. It was a time when life was slower than now but beginning to speed up, when cultures were changing ... and nations beginning to find their identities and long for independence.

The Neither East Nor West  The Lafayette Collection: Asia in the Age of Monochrome exhibition will be opened at the Islamic Arts Museum (Jalan Lembah Perdana, KL) by Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar on Thursday and will thereafter continue until Sept 10.

The exhibition catalogue will be available for RM125. Museum hours are 10am to 6pm, seven days a week, including public holidays. Admission is RM12 (adults) and RM6 (students). For more information, call the museum at 03-2274 2020 or e-mail info@iamm.org.my.

        J M Gullick, Malay Society in the Late Nineteenth Century, Oxford 1989, p 69 n 92

        Sultan Idris was the only one of the four FMS rulers who was able to take part in the debates at the first meeting of the new FMS Federal Council in 1909... As a young man he was one of the rather raffish circle around his cousin, Sultan Abdullah... He was an opium smoker whom Birch judged 'rather a debauchee' (J W W Birch, The Journals of J.W.W. Birch, First British Resident to Perak 1874-1875, edited by P.L. Burns, Kuala Lumpur, 1976). The turning point perhaps came with the arrival in Perak of Hugh Low in 1877. Within weeks Low concluded that this was a prominent figure whom he would recommend - 'a good berth to be provided for him' (H. Low, 'The Journal of Sir Hugh Low, Perak 1877', edited by E. Sadka, Journal of the Malayan/Malaysian Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society, 27(4), 1954). Thereafter, there was an unbroken flow of high praise from senior figures of the colonial regime - 'stands for all that is best in the Malay ruling class... intelligence... experience... great charm of manner... a fluent speaker... a very earnest Muhammadan, without a trace of bigotry... a high authority on questions of Muhammadan law and religion' (F A Swettenham, British Malaya: An Account of the Origin and Progress of British Influence in Malaya, London, 1907, p 343). Significantly Swettenham continues that 'In all the Malay states there is no one who... has done so much to promote the success of the new system of administration' (ibid). Clifford's verdict is in similar terms - 'among the most enlightened rulers of the Native States of the East, and a convinced apostle of British rule' (H Clifford, Bushwhacking and Other Asiatic Tales and Memories, New York, 1929, p 192).

Teori Asal Usul Keris

Teori mengenai Keris. Ada satu lagi teori yang mengatakan ia berasal dari Dynasti Shang (1766-1122 B.C.) dan Dynasty Zhou (1122-771 B.C.) di China.


Pisau Zhou Ge
...



tapi HangPC2,

mungkin teori tu tak boleh dipakai. Tengoklah gambar tu kan gambar pisau.

Keris ialah senjata yang unik di dunia. Hanya ada dalam lingkungan Melayu Filipina, Melayu Selatan Thailand, Melayu Vietnam, Melayu Kemboja, Melayu Malaysia, Melayu Singapura, dan Melayu Indonesia.

Kadang-kadang, ada segelintir orang yg cuba nak kotak-katik Melayu seolah-olah Melayu tak berotak, tak mampu berfikir, tak mampu cipta pelbagai konsep(idea, peralatan, dsb.).

Bagi dorang, dorang sajalah yg pandai dan inovatif!!
