Masyarakat Melayu Singapura tiada masalah krisis identiti.
Sikap inklusif, terbuka serta identiti yang berbilang sudah lama ada dalam diri masyarakat Melayu dan ini dibuktikan sejarah.
Lantaran itu, masyarakat Melayu perlu menggali sejarahnya, yang sudah banyak diabaikan.
Demikian antara pandangan para sarjana semasa mengupas tentang apakah Identiti Melayu Kini Dalam Krisis, dalam satu seminar baru-baru ini, anjuran ISEAS – Institut Yusof Ishak.
Ia berdasarkan buku tulisan Profesor Anthony Milner berjudul ‘Kerajaan Budaya Politik Melayu di Ambang Pemerintahan Penjajah, yang dilancarkan dalam sesi ini.
SEJARAH BEGITU DIABAIKAN
Menurut Profesor Milner, mantan Profesor Pelawat Raffles di Jabatan Sejarah NUS dan Penyampai Seminar untuk memahami pendekatan orang dan negara Melayu seperti Malaysia tentang Laut China Selatan atau hubungan etnik di Malaysia, jawapannya ada dalam lipatan sejarah.
“Saya fikir terdapat pengabaian besar terhadap sejarah – bukan kerana sejarah penghurai segalanya, tetapi ia membantu menyediakan rujukan bagi apa yang berlaku di rantau ini.
Bahawa dunia pra penjajahan merupakan peringatan tentang suatu masa di mana bangsa tidak begitu penting,” kata Prof Milner.
Beliau yang banyak menulis tentang kaum Melayu dan sejarah Malaysia, dalam bahasa Inggeris menambah: “Perkembangan tentang perasaan bangsa Melayu yang jelas adalah perkembangan moden,” menurut Profesor Milner.
Para sarjana dalam sesi itu juga berhujah bahawa sejarah juga berguna untuk mengupas identiti Melayu Singapura.
Ini lebih relevan di tengah-tengah perbahasan tentang isu berbilang bangsa dan pengaruh agama Islam.
ORANG MELAYU BERSIKAP TERBUKA, TAAT, INKLUSIF
Penolong Profesor di Jabatan Pengajian Melayu NUS, Dr Sher Banu merupakan antara sarjana yang berpandangan bahawa masyarakat Melayu di Singapura tidak mengalami masalah identiti krisis.
“Sebab, kalau kita tengok bahagian sejarah, masyarakat Melayu selalu sudah berpeluang untuk menyesuaikan diri dan juga mereka selalu bersikap cara terbuka, bersikap secara inklusif. Kalau kita lihat pemerintahan yang lalu, yang berasaskan kepimpinan Islam, kita boleh dapat contoh ciri-ciri pemerintahan yang bagus, yang dapat disesuaikan dalam konteks di Singapura dan juga di Malaysia.
“Jadi kalau mereka ada identiti berbeza, ketaatan berbeza, ia sesuatu yang mereka berupaya menyesuaikan diri,” kata Dr Banu, yang juga menjadi Pengulas Seminar Identiti Krisis Melayu itu.
Lantaran itu juga, penganjur seminar tersebut cuba mengupas mengapa perbincangan mengenai politik Melayu tidak boleh dikupas tanpa mengambil kira aspek budaya dan sejarah Melayu itu sendiri.
Kalangan peserta seminar termasuklah peminat sejarah, antropologi dan budaya, selain pelajar seperti Muhd Suhail Mohd Yazid.
Mengulas perbincangan seminar tersebut, beliau berkata: “Kita tidak boleh lupa bahawa Singapura terletaknya di nusantara, di alam Melayu. Jadi sejarah Melayu juga sejarah Singapura. Pada masa yang sama kita harus kritikal juga adakah cara pemikiran orang Melayu di zaman kerajaan juga relevan pada zaman modern kini?”
Seminar dua jam itu dihadiri sekitar 60 peserta.

I refer to the article “Parliament passes changes to elected presidency” (Straits Times, Nov 10). It states:
“It means Singapore’s next president is likely to be Malay, as next year’s election will be reserved for Malay candidates. The amendments also raise the maximum number of Non-Constituency MPs from nine to 12, and give them the same voting rights as elected MPs. All 77 People’s Action Party MPs present voted in favour of the changes, while all six elected Workers’ Party MPs opposed them.”
These are the statistics for the next Presidential Elections:

KUALA LUMPUR — Former Malaysian prime minister Mahathir Mohamad yesterday once again lashed out at the Malay community in his country, accusing them of lacking good values and being lazy.
Dr Mahathir said the country’s ethnic majority was not hardworking enough and therefore uncompetitive, causing them to trail behind the other races economically.
This also resulted in the Malays being driven out from the main cities to the rural interior.
“Like Alor Setar (the capital of Kedah) and now there are no more Malays there when it was them that raised the city. This is because the Malays are poor and they have no money so they sell their land. So what happens is now they stay outside the city,” said the former leader at a book launch.
Dr Mahathir, who served as prime minister for 22 years and is regarded as the country’s “Father of Modernisation”, admitted that he may have failed to transform the country’s ethnic majority so that they become more hardworking.
Despite all the government had done to help them, Dr Mahathir said the Malays still expected things to come easily and refused to adopt working cultures of more successful races, such as those in Japan.
Japan was an integral part of the Mahathir administration’s Look East Policy. The policy was to push Malaysia to follow the East Asians in becoming diligent, hardworking and loyal.
“I have tried for 22 years to help the Malays. Maybe I have failed, although some may say that I did achieve some success,” said Dr Mahathir.
“Values dictate if one race should succeed or not … Like the Japanese, they are ashamed if they fail. That is why they are afraid to fail … But the Malays, they lack shame.”
Dr Mahathir said the Malays are also bankrupt of honesty. He claimed of first-hand experience in the matter when his bakery company, The Loaf, tried in the past to sack several managers for stealing money from the restaurants.
He said the establishment of his bakery was to help the Malays by giving them job opportunities but instead they stole his money.
“That is the problem with the Malays. They don’t have honesty,” he added.
Dr Mahathir is a staunch defender of race-based affirmative action policies as prescribed by the New Economic Policy, an economic model mooted in 1971 to close the socio-economic gap between the largely-urban Chinese and the rural Malays as well as other indigenous Bumiputera.
Ironically, however, the former prime minister has admitted in the past that the programme has made the Malays more complacent, while noting that the system had been abused to enrich only a few elites who were close to the ruling party.
But the former prime minister has continued to defend the policy, saying it was still needed to help the Malays compete and bridge the income disparity among the races.
Dr Mahathir has also been at the forefront of criticism against Prime Minister Najib Razak and his administration for the past year. He has accused Mr Najib of corruption linked to state investment firm 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB), and has launched a new party, the Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (PBBM) that he said would ally with the opposition to ensure straight fights against the ruling Barisan Nasional coalition at the next General Election, which has to be called by 2018.

SAN JOSE — Esra Altun was walking back to her car at San Jose State University on Wednesday afternoon when someone grabbed her hijab from behind and yanked it backward.
The 19-year-old sophomore psychology student struggled to breathe as the man pulled hard at her head scarf inside the third floor of the West Garage at Fourth and San Salvador streets.
“I was trying to gasp for air,” Altun said. “I couldn’t say or do anything. I was paralyzed.”
The attack lasted just a few seconds. Altun fought back by leaning forward, and when her attacker let go she fell hard to her knees. The man did not say a word, she said.
The attack came a day after the election of Republican Donald Trump, who at one point proposed a temporary ban on the immigration of Muslims to the United States.
University police told Altun they could not treat it as a hate crime, but she believes it was racially motivated.
“It happened a day after Trump was announced as president-elect,” Altun said. “If it was for another reason, it’s such a weird coincidence.”
University President Mary Papazian said she also found the attack troubling.
“I think our students have the perception that they were targeted because of their faith,” Papazian said. “Whether or not it rises to the literal level of what a hate crime would be, it certainly is something that we have to pay attention to. And we need to make sure that we have the conversations on campus about how our students of various backgrounds, orientations and affinities are feeling in a time when our nation is having a very dynamic conversation around these issues.”
There were no cameras in the part of the garage where the attack took place, and Papazian said the college planned to study adding them.
Similar attacks have been reported elsewhere, including at San Diego State University, where a Muslim student was assaulted and robbed in a campus parking lot. Authorities say the woman, who was wearing a hijab, was targeted because of her faith and that the suspects made comments about Trump’s election, according to the Associated Press. The assault and robbery is being investigated as a hate crime.
San Jose State University police issued a campus alert Wednesday about the attack on Altun, which happened around 1:15 p.m. She was walking with a group of friends from the Student Union to the garage. She opened her trunk to get something when her hijab was yanked backward.
Doaa Abdelrahman, president of the college’s Muslim Student Association, also believes the attack was related to the election and Trump’s campaign. She said racism has always existed, but now “it’s fueled by Trump.”
“I’ve experienced racism for my religion since age 9,” Abdelrahman said. “I think Trump is the cause of a lot of segregation and division between people. I think racism always occurs around the world, This is a topic that needs to be addressed. I’m glad it’s out in the surface.”
University spokeswoman Pat Harris said the case remains under investigation and encouraged anyone with information to step forward.
“We are of course very concerned that this has occurred on our campus. No one should experience this kind of behavior at San Jose State,” said Harris, adding that the college “encourages faculty, staff, and students to report all incidents so that we can track trends and respond appropriately in addition to conducting investigations of all cases.”
In the first 24 hours after the attack, Altun said she has received tremendous support from the campus community, including people offering to walk her to her car.
“On Twitter, people were posting about it and they were outraged,” she said. “They don’t even know who I am. That’s an amazing thing to see. And I hope that support goes out to every group that needs it.”
