Ranjit Singh Malhi, a historian, says the textbooks are “skewed towards establishing Islamic and Malay dominance”. (UKM pic)

Pointing out that most of the textbooks’ writers were Malay, he said this meant that students were learning world and Malaysian history from the perspective of one particular ethnic group. “For example, unlike earlier textbooks, the current history textbooks downplay the important roles and contributions of the Malaysian Chinese and Indian communities in the economic and infrastructure development of the nation,” he said.

“It should be noted that the early Malay kings were considered as the incarnation of Hindu gods based upon the concept of ‘devaraja’ (god-king). Indeed, till today, elements of the Indian cultural influences are still prevalent in Malay culture,” he said.

Negara di Timur Tengah dan Turki berada dalam bahaya. Mimpi Muhammad Qasim menunjukkan bahawa negara-negara Barat dan Amerika akan menyerang Turki, Timur Tengah. Namun Pakistan akan berjaya mengalahkan mereka dan melindungi Islam. “Muhammad Qasim Dreams”

Sheer act of inferiority complex..Usually facts are hard facts..So its bitter hard to accept by certain community.. Being truthful to oneself is more onerus then living in falsehood..Its like saying Tok Jangut had some influence to finding solution in Archimedes principles..

Hello Singh...can write a new history textbook then ? We the Malays will scrutinized the facts in the new book. Btw, can you name one Singh who fought for Malay Land during Dutch, British and Japanese occupancy. Let him be the warrior in the new textbook.

We all know that. Bias. Untruthful. Incapable of speaking truth. Why? Supremacy of a sort. Haha 😂 laugh at them and move on.

Biasalah..... kementerian gunakan taktik propoganda menjaja unsur agama & bangsa utk memisahkan rakyat

It's a well known fact that Singh's turban is the symbol of anti-Islam for centuries, and now anti-Malay. No one is surprised.
