Malays don't speak Arab nor have Arab cultures or customs.

You want me to explain the farce we went through with that? You of all people should know better, the lengths the pap will go to, to cling onto power, to protect its own interests. Hence, we were all laughing at how ludicrous it all was. Using her to try to substantiate your argument is scrapping the bottom of barrel, you are grabbing at straws, throwing everything and hope something sticks.Explain Halimah Yacob then.
In indonesua, javanese do not consider themselves as malay.You are right. Non muslim Bataks, manado, balinese are not Malay.
But Muslim Javanese, Boyanese, Aceh and Bugis are all Malay.
It's not what one family thinks that matters, it's what the Quran says that matters. Unless you think the Quran doesn't matter.You sure? I have a Malay friend. No longer practice Islam. But he still stay with the family. Dont generalise.
The quraN cannot taLk or give advice. It's a dead book like any other. Trapped in time. Don't treat quraN like a deity. That is paganism.It's not what one family thinks that matters, it's what the Quran says that matters. Unless you think the Quran doesn't matter.
well I know of an Indonesian ex muslim who converted to catholicism and the whole village including his family stopped talking to him so he came to Singapore.You sure? I have a Malay friend. No longer practice Islam. But he still stay with the family. Dont generalise.
Did he remove Islam from his IC?
The practise predated halimah.You want me to explain the farce we went through with that?

at least it's not the whole villageI know of a Christian. Not that devout. Converted to islam. Whole family boycotted him.
Murtad simply means apostate and it happens in all religions. So, to say someone who was previously a malay is now a murtad doesn't make sense to anyone else except the muslims. Malay was originally a term used to mean brown people in this region and these brown people were originally not muslims anyway. Later on, in a desperate attempt to ensure no outflow of muslims to other religions they came up with this strange rediculous definition of malay which is nothing but a joke.The practise predated halimah.
And any Malay when you as to point out another who has left Islam, will always refer to them as MURTAD instead of Malay.
The conversation goes like this:
A: Eh, dia masih Melayu ke?
B: Tidak lah, dia kan dah MURTAD.
at least it's not the whole village
Malay was a description the white man used to describe the people they met in the nusantara before they colonised it. Malays were then already Muslims.Murtad simply means apostate and it happens in all religions.

That's stems from the culture and upbringing of selfishness and greed.Just like Msia, indon Muslims treat their neighbours like own family. Helping each other and sharing problems.They lived in kampong or village as u called it. So its normal they behaved such. Whereas Sporeans are anti-social. Doors shut 24/7.
That's just a term coined by muslims. Just like christians like to call unbelievers Pagans. Nothing to do with race. Race is what we are born as, can't be changed.The practise predated halimah.

To be technical, all races are a social construct.That's just a term coined by muslims. Just like christians like to call unbelievers Pagans. Nothing to do with race. Race is what we are born as, can't be changed.
You can really dance around a topic, got to give that to you.To be technical, all races are a social construct.
No person in this world is of a pure race of something. DNA proves that. Everyone is a percentage of mixtures. Language and culture, religion and custom make up the rest of the identity.
So if you're born with German, japanese, African, indian, ancestry, what are you?
You can be any one of those, the defining factor is your habits of language, religion and customs and what you and your community accept you to be.
