What about what this guy wrote above?

I smell bullshit.

Well, simple term is like other people already said - Vassalage.

A vassal state is not the same as " x is under the rule of x"

Hidup PENANG

Apa yang saya tahu ialah Kedah dan Kelantan adalah punca Tanah Melayu jatuh ke tangan Jepun dalam Perang Dunia Kedua.

Kedah easier to dupe than siam

Why is our history keep changing, wondered when it will stopped...

Malaya under British rule also not 100% british rule. Only the Straits Settlements (Penang, Malacca & Singapore) are. Others are autonomous vassal states under the rule of their local Sultans.

(FMT) – As a debate over an annual honorarium rages, a heritage expert has given a brief outline of Penang’s history since Kedah leased it to the British in 1786.

Clement Liang, a council member of Penang Heritage Trust, said Kedah had no territorial right over the island when it agreed to the lease because it was Thailand, then known as Siam, that had sovereignty over it.

Kedah leased it without the Siamese king’s knowledge, he said.

Thai history textbooks and the national museum in Bangkok show that Penang island, or Koh Mak, was the first territory that Siam lost to a western power.

Liang said Saiburi, as Kedah was known then, was in subsequent years raided frequently by the Siamese force for its disobedience. In 1821, a war known as Perang Bisik saw Kuala Kedah destroyed and thousands of Kedahans escaping to Province Wellesley for safety and resettlement.

Siam, not Kedah, lost Penang to the British, says expert

If we are not going to acknowledge the Sulu claim on Sabah how can we acknowledge this? Next thing you know people will be making stupid claims like they own something because they used to go fishing there. Oh wait China is already doing that.

Its like a jobless man keep saying he was never bullied in the past.

Focus on finding job lar.. dont feel proud about past and ignore current condition , go bully neighbors somemore.

"the treaty is their narrative, I am going with my narrative" - 'the professor'

kedah is the dog that causes other states to lose power to siam

Bayar jer la Penang. Instead of wasting rakyat money on billions dollar of feasibility study that never will materialize.

Southern thailand was part of a bunch of malay sultanates until the early 20th century when those sultans got conned by the british and siam

Fact is if the British did not forced Siam to ceded Perlis, Kedah, Kelantan & Terenganu to British, those territory will faced the same fate as Satun, Narathiwat & Pattani.

Why not.

Holy people - kill people oso remain holy.

Litreally 24/7 cannot tahan to show their 5Head to the world.

according to Oxford Cambridge,
Kedah was not conquered by Siam because Kedah was already part of Sukothai Ayutthaya before Siam exist
