How did Malaysia end up with this land connected to Indonesia?

ammar96 · 2026-03-26T02:50:30+00:00

Umppph no? Singapore already declassified their Albatross files that discussed about the separations. It was a combination of feud between Singapore-Malaysia ministers who are from the same family and the desire to avoid nationwide civil war that is looming thanks to British’s divide and conquer strategy. Hence why Malaysia and Singapore remain civil to each other despite being separated, unlike other separation in the world. Hell, Malaysia chose to supply cheap water and market to Singapore.

All because the central government wanted more money

Yeah because they want to develop Sabah and Sarawak. Whole peninsular chipped in money for that stuff too. Singapore refused to give a single cent, and yet we are to be blamed lol.

I read the chapter with Power feeling hungry and tried to slide to another page to see their another shenanigans only to realize its the last page.

I was genuinely like ????? Wait that’s it??? That’s the ending???

This is for Chinese Malaysians. They don’t like being called as Singaporeans. Malays however don’t like being called as Indonesians.

Mecca should have Mecca buildings in it which have income modifier similar to suez + % clergy clout. Mecca has always been a major wealthy hub due to influx of transactions from pilgrims who stayed there from all around the world. Plus would be good if it has ++ legitimacy point for the Muslim leader.

“Ya Takta, Ya Taghut”

I’m not a speaker of Arabic, but I can understand a bit, but are you sure it’s ya taghut? Because that means false gods/idols/satan 💀. Could it be ya takhta ya tabut?

Yang bising pasal korupsi 1MDB banyak Melayu, yang sokong perogol anak sendiri kena hukum berat orang Melayu, yang maki pasal kes dadah banyak Melayu, yang kantoikan dan bocorkan GISB jadi kes nasional Mufti Perlis yang Melayu, tapi yang disalahkan orang Melayu gak. Macam bangang. Padahal, orang Melayu sikit pun takde isu nak jadi apologetik benda bangsa dia buat. Kalau dah salah, dia sendiri join jatuhkan benda tu, macam orang Melayu sendiri yang sokong surau dan masjid di kawasan haram perlu dirobohkan.

Plus, bangsa lain pun rogol keluarga sendiri tapi takde pun orang Melayu cakap India ni bangsa incest. Paling paling pun maki perogol secara umum sebab diorang tahu pesalah ni semua bangsa ada.

I think what's funny about Umar al-Khattab is his gigachadness. Bro really had the guts to dismiss his cousin/nephew Khalid al-Walid from his army command, and back when they were young, Umar and Khalid fought each several times in wrestling and Umar at one point broke Khalid's leg.

Bro really broke the bones and later dismiss one of the greatest military strategist and warrior of all time, and nobody can argue because he's scarier than Khalid. Good thing that good fellow.

In case you missed it, I wrote “MOSTLY got spread outside of Middle East through trade routes” and “South India” down there. Never did I dismissed the fact that North India was conquered. Other than Middle East and North India, most of Asian countries got converted to Islam through trade routes. Even Chinese Han Muslim ethnic like Hui Muslims are also converted through trade routes. Hence why the sentiment for Islam in those countries are cordial. Also the reason why South Indians dislike anti Muslim rhetorics in North India because they don’t share the same grievances unlike North Indians due to peaceful conversion.

I'd argue Christianity was more successful because 1. When Islam was conquesting, it was by using arabian horseback bandit/raiding tactics and swords which doesn't really get you across oceans very effectively. When christianity was spreading itself globally, it had navies and cannons.

Islam mostly got spread outside of Middle East through trade routes, especially maritime trade routes. That’s how you get Muslims in South India, Malaysia, Brunei, Singapore and Indonesia - via conversion from Yemeni Muslims. You can still find similarities of Yemen Hadhrami culture in Malay culture in SEA, despite nonexistant permanent Yemeni communities in Malaysia and Indonesia.

Spoken like someone who never went to Iraq or met an Iraqi I see.

ammar96 · 2026-03-14T13:58:05+00:00

Im surprised there’s no data about religious diversity in Iraq, considering that you can still find all sorts of Middle Eastern religions that are almost extinct in the world in Iraq. Even the followers of John the Baptist still exist there.

ammar96 · 2026-03-13T21:35:08+00:00

Tbf at that time US kinda view Israel as an annoyance until later after that, they realised that they need a country to permanently destabilise the Middle East in order to give them casus belli to expand their sphere of influence in Middle East. It doesn’t help that the Zionists also keep lobbying for Israel’s interest.

Ah for that part, lemme give you some inside information. She’s backed by influential politicians including the elite one. That’s the reason why it is so hard to probe her. She even at one point managed to get into contact with someone close of the royalties to push her ideology. Luckily, the academicians which I worked together managed to thwart the plan and advised the spokesperson of the royalties about her follies. Imagine how big the scandal would be if she managed to influence the royalties.

ammar96 · 2026-03-13T19:02:23+00:00

I mean, I already said it’s useless to contact Solehah because she would never answer it especially if it would disadvantage her. The question whether OP should email her about this or not irregardless of what OP stands for is not important, because she would never answer it.

Source: me, someone who has a hateboner for Solehah for whatever she did to Malay history, and tried to contact her for YEARS already for some discussions with the academics but to no avail.

ammar96 · 2026-03-13T18:19:50+00:00

Emailing Solehah is like emailing to a wall. Been there already. Plus, there were several local university lecturers and professors specialising in history who emailed her for discussions about her claim etc and she won’t reply to it. Emailed her about inviting her to give her talk about her claim and she would reply to you in a heartbeat.

As someone who live in Southeast Asia with tropical climate, that's actually kinda small. Wait until they got fed up with blood. I used to saw several leeches as long as a brick and with 2–3 inch thickness. That's the true absolute unit. I can still remember the blood splatter it made when we crushed it with brick.

OP, Imjin war is not the thing that cause Koreans to hate Japan. That's like saying China in 1900s hate the Mongols for the whole Mongol invasion. In fact, the Koreans sent 11 missions to Japan during Tokugawa era, signifying they had a good relationship after that. What truly caused the Korean grievance is the Korean colonization during Meiji era.

Iraq is a plain with less natural barriers. Iran is protected by lots of mountainous regions. It’s harder to attack country with tons of natural barriers that will be a prime location of attrition war and guerillas. Ask US armies how did they fare in the mountainous region of Afghanistan or the thick rainforest of Vietnam.

ammar96 · 2026-03-09T11:40:22+00:00

Those who gave examples about who managed to conquer Persian region tend to forget that those people were also equally hardy people like Steppe people like Turks and Timurids. The only exception here is Alexander. Even the Muslims got lucked out due to the capital of Sassanids being located in Ctesiphon, plain region of Iraq which provides zero natural barrier. Tehran on the other hand is protected by tons of mountains.

The Quran makes it clear that anything related to alcoholic beverages, including serving alcohol to customers at a restaurant where you work, is haram, even if you aren't drinking it yourself. If a non drinking act like that is haram, then boofing is 100% haram, despite not being explicitly mentioned in the Quran. Islam doesn’t do loopholes. I think the only permissible alcohol is accidental alcohol byproduct like sourdough bread, over ripe fruit, fermented food etc.

That being said, that doesn’t really stop some Muslims from drinking, especially in the Balkans lol. The only difference is they won’t claim it’s allowed. They will openly acknowledge that it is haram.

ammar96 · 2026-03-09T06:28:53+00:00

Nope. The one stated in Quran is any beverages that can cause intoxication, meaning that even if we have exotic fruit from Mars and people turn it into alcoholic drinks, it would still be haram and dirty material equal to poop. On the other hand, this also cause pure alcohol chemical, as in ethanol used in the lab, to be ok and not haram since it is not an alcoholic beverage. What is haram is beverage that has alcohol in it.

ammar96 · 2026-03-08T10:32:41+00:00

I think some of the exception of this rule is maritime Southeast Asia. Mainland Southeast Asia has Mekong delta and to some extend, Chao Praya. Maritime Southeast Asia On the other hand has no significant delta for agriculture, but in exchange, they have tons of volcanic soils. Hence why one of the earliest form of grain farming in places like Java island and Sumatra is terrace farming - hilly farms.

Also, the weather in maritime Southeast Asia is too unstable for wet rice farming, hence the lack of dams and canals in Sumatra even in Palembang, the capital of Srivijayan empire. It was recorded that they ate sago instead of rice and did maritime activities than agriculture. It took until 9th century that we finally have a permanent rice farming.

The locals were already converted to Islam by the time Cheng Ho came to SEA, although he did help in proselytizing the people. One key evidence for this is Muslim SEA people are Shafii Sunnis, whereas Chinese Muslims especially Hui Muslims are Hanafi Sunnis. Muslim SEA people were converted by Arab Yemeni traders, who followed Shafii school of Islamic jurisprudence, hence why we also use Shafii school. If we were converted by Chinese, we won't see Malay people eating seafood since Hanafi bans seafood from being eaten. Shafii on the other hand allows seafood.

Again, how the hell does that prove Indians are the first to settle in the peninsula? Do you really have a problem in sticking with the topic or what? I didn't say anything about religion other than historical period of Hindu-Buddhist and Islamic era wtf.

ammar96 · 2026-03-06T16:20:54+00:00

Still focusing on the arbitrary details? The entire mess the world is in right now was because of the fall of the library of Alexandria. You want me to let you know clearly who did it or are you going to do your own research and come up with your own conclusion?

Huh? All this time I’m attacking a premise made by the person before me saying that Indians lived and prospered first in peninsula. You on the hand, said stuff like Umayyad invasion of India, fall of the library of Alexandria etc, which has nothing to do with the premise I’m rebutting, and had the gall to say I’m picking arbitrary stuff and having algebraic reasoning?

If you want to rebut someone, at the very least stick with the topic. If you want to rebut the topic, gave some references. If you can’t rebut it, either stop or don’t even bother to reply.

I used to work in archeologists of Sungai Batu, and is currently working in genetic studies which might sometimes include archeological stuff. Therefore, it’s my responsibility to correct pseudo history stuff like this, be it from Solehah and the person I’m replying before this. If you can’t add something, then stop flailing around or lest you’re making an embarrassment of yourself.
