Most likely different definitions.
Things can be classified. Just that different people might classify it differently.
Indonesians did believe in Pan-Malay (or whatever it is called) Nusantara. At least during pre-Merdeka and Konfrontasi era.
What is this Pan Malay Nusantara? Is it a supra ethnic or sub ethnic?
I notice Malay can mean Malay race and Malay ethnic.

Malay race, a racial category used in the late 19th and early 20th century to describe Austronesian peoples
Ethnic Malays, the ethnic group located primarily in the Malay peninsula, and parts of Sumatra and Borneo
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MalayWikipedia here correct or not?
Is this Pan-Malay a supra ethnic/large group similar concept to Polynesian group as mention by gm_18300.
Pan-Malay Nusantara,Malay race and Malay ethnic, these three things same concept or not?
Is it same like Italian, British, French and German subgroup of European race?
Malay race = Malay sub ethnic, Bugis sub ethnic, Javanese sub ethnic, Balinese ethnic sub
European race = Italian sub ethnic, British sub ethnic, French sub ethnic, German sub ethnic
Mongoloid race = Han sub ethnic, Japanese sub ethnic, Korean sub ethnic, Mongolian sub ethnic, Manchu sub ethnic
Do I get it correct?
