Malay Peninsula : From pre-

to proto-hisory

By the 4th century, coastle states in what is

now Peninsular Malaysia regularly
conducted intra-and extra-regional trade

(forest goods and luxury items)
Several kingdoms and entrepots appeared on

Malay Peninsula and other part of Southest

Asia.
The majority of these were situated on the

coast
Example:Kuala Selinsing, Cheruk Tok Kun

Bujang Valley, Santubong

Kuala Selinsing

pottery, beads, shells and
glassware - 3rd century

BC to 11th century AD.

Historical interpretations
Originated as a secular festivity to enable

young men and women to meet-to look

for future life partners
Might have been the result of Malay-

Tamil interaction in the past
The addition of the term Safar to Mandi

might have occurred after the adoption of

Islam especially during the time of the

Melaka Sultanate to make the practice

more acceptable of the Islamic society
To achieve spiritual purity

Learning Unit 6
Trade and its
consequences

Trade

History is made and change

with trade

The original form of trade was

barter system which is the


direct exchange of goods and

services.

Trade is basically an
exchange, voluntary in nature


between two parties in

requirement of each other's


resources i.e. goods and

services.

Migration

Trade lead to huge

movements such as

migration of people

Whether for trade or


due to slavery

Example : the Bugis,

the Acehnese, British

Region

The entry of Europeans and

Capitalism formed and reformed

the region into what it is today-


politically; economically;

culturally.

Capitalism/Colonialism

Bought about divergence in

understanding right and

obligations in business

Western powers - belief in the

value of signed contract

Local Malay/Bugis - belief in the
value of solemn oaths

Politic - diplomatic relationship

Economic - contracts and
trades
Social - cultural changes

colonizers sought to impose their own language,

customs, and laws in order to gain an economic

advantage.

Decolonization Decolonization is the process of a nation or

region becoming independent from a foreign

GOOD VIBES ONLY power. This was an important factor in the

creation of modern Southeast Asia, as many

nations in the region were formerly colonies of


various European powers. During the 19th

century, nations such as the Philippines,

Vietnam, Indonesia, and Malaysia all achieved

some degree of independence from their

respective colonizers. This process was often met

with resistance from the colonizers and led to

several armed conflicts. The decolonization

process created a wave of nationalism among

the colonized nations, which allowed them to

form their own governments and develop their


own distinct cultures and identities.

Globalization is the process of
increased interconnectedness and

interdependence between nations and

regions throughout the world. This

was an important factor in the
creation of modern Southeast Asia

during the 19th century, as the region
became increasingly integrated into


the global economy through the
growth of trade, investment, and

migration. This caused a shift in the

region’s political, economic, and
social conditions, as Southeast Asia

became more interconnected with the


rest of the world.

Imperialism is the policy of extending a

nation's power and influence through

diplomacy or military force. This was also a

major factor in the creation of modern

Southeast Asia, as the European powers

sought to expand their empires and gain

access to the region's resources. This led to

increased economic exploitation of the

region and a shift in the balance of power in

the area as the European powers competed


for control.

Indirect rule is a form of colonial rule in which
the imperial power maintains control over a colony

through a local ruling class. This was a major
factor in the creation of modern Southeast Asia

during the 19th century. European powers such as

the British and Dutch sought to control resources


and expand their empires, and often did so by

exerting their control over other nations in the

region. To do so, they often relied on local ruling

classes to help maintain their control over the

region, while simultaneously allowing the
colonized nations to maintain some level of
autonomy. This resulted in the development of

unequal relationships between the imperial powers
and the colonized nations, with the latter often

suffering from exploitation, oppression, and other


forms of injustice.

Indirect Rules

Nationalism is the feeling of pride and
NNNaaatttiiinnnaaallliiisss
loyalty in one's nation or people. This

was an important factor in the creation

of modern Southeast Asia, as the idea

of nationalism began to take hold in
the region as a result of the influence


of Western powers. The Western

powers sought to impose their own

political and economic systems on the

region, and the local people began to

resist and fight against this foreign

domination. This resistance in the form

of nationalism was a key factor in the

formation of modern Southeast Asian

countries and their political systems.



ASSIMILATION

Assimilation is the process by which an

individual or group of people adopt the values,


beliefs, and customs of another group.

Assimilation can be voluntary or forced and can

involve both cultural and economic aspects. It


has been a key factor in the development of

many societies throughout history.

Ethnicity

Ethnicity is the shared identity of a
group of people based on common

ancestry, language, culture, and/or

religion. Ethnicity can be a source of

pride, but can also be used to

discriminate against certain groups.

Identity

IDENTITY IS AN INDIVIDUAL'S SENSE

OF SELF-UNDERSTANDING AND SELF-


DEFINITION. IT IS AN IMPORTANT
CONCEPT IN SOCIAL HISTORY, AS IT

CAN PROVIDE INSIGHTS INTO HOW

INDIVIDUALS AND GROUPS WITHIN A


SOCIETY HAVE EXPERIENCED AND
REACTED TO DIFFERENT SOCIAL,
POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC CHANGES
OVER TIME. IT CAN ALSO ALLOW US TO


BETTER UNDERSTAND THE
RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN INDIVIDUALS
AND GROUPS AND HOW THEY MAY HAVE

INTERACTED WITH EACH OTHER.

Immigrants

Immigrants are individuals or groups
of people who migrate from their

native countries to another
country. The concept of
immigration is important in social

history, as it allows us to
understand the various waves of

people who entered a country, the


reasons why they chose to migrate,

and how their presence has shaped

the culture, economy and politics

of a nation.

POPULATION

Population is the total number of people
living in a given area or region. It is one of

the key concepts in social history, as it
provides insight into the size, composition and
dynamics of a given society. Population trends

can indicate changes in the overall economy,

demographics, politics, and other aspects of a


society.

RACE IS A SOCIAL CONSTRUCT USED

TO CATEGORIZE PEOPLE ACCORDING

TO PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS. IT IS

OFTEN USED TO DESCRIBE

DIFFERENCES IN SKIN COLOR, FACIAL


FEATURES, AND OTHER PHYSICAL

CHARACTERISTICS. RACE HAS BEEN

USED THROUGHOUT HISTORY TO


DISCRIMINATE AND OPPRESS
GROUPS OF PEOPLE.
