Penyanyi sensasi Baby Shima sekali lagi mencuri perhatian apabila melontarkan persoalan berbaur identiti yang segera mengundang reaksi pelbagai dalam kalangan netizen. Menerusi satu hantaran di platform Threads, Shima atau nama sebenarnya Nor Ashima Ramli, 32, mempersoalkan sama ada keturunan Jawa boleh diklasifikasikan sebagai bangsa Melayu.

Meskipun soalan itu kelihatan ringan atau mungkin hanya gurauan, namun tajuk yang disentuhnya cukup sensitif dan cepat membangkitkan semula perdebatan lama yang belum reda, khususnya selepas kenyataan kontroversi Ameera Khan yang mendakwa dirinya bukan Melayu kerana memiliki darah Arab dan Pakistan.

Pertanyaan Shima berbunyi, “Darah Arab dan Pakistan memang bukan orang Melayu. Tapi kalau Jawa, kira Melayu juga ke?” Sejurus selepas itu, netizen mula mengaitkan kembali kenyataan tersebut dengan kontroversi Ameera Khan, adik kepada Neelofa, yang sebelum ini menimbulkan ketegangan apabila menyatakan secara terbuka bahawa dia tidak menganggap dirinya sebagai berbangsa Melayu, meskipun lahir dan dibesarkan di Malaysia.

Perbincangan dalam kalangan pengguna media sosial mula kembali hangat, dengan ramai yang tampil memberikan pandangan masing-masing. Ada yang menegaskan bahawa konsep bangsa Melayu di Malaysia tidak boleh dipisahkan daripada asas budaya, agama dan bahasa. “Definisi Melayu, satu, berbahasa Melayu. Dua, beragama Islam. Tiga, mengamalkan adat istiadat Melayu. Tak kira apa pun sub-etnik, itu sudah dikira Melayu,” jelas seorang netizen yang merujuk kepada definisi Perlembagaan Malaysia berkaitan orang Melayu.

Seorang lagi pengguna pula menekankan bahawa negara ini adalah tanah tumpah darah pelbagai kaum dan etnik, termasuk sub-etnik dalam kelompok Melayu itu sendiri seperti Jawa, Bugis, Banjar dan Minangkabau. Menurutnya, “Putih, hitam, biru, merah ke, kita tetap orang Malaysia. Jawa, Bugis, Banjar, Punjabi ke, kalau lahir di Malaysia tetap warganegara. Tak payah bak berlagak sangat macam Ameera Khan.”

Turut menarik perhatian ialah perbandingan yang dibuat oleh seorang netizen mengenai konsep bangsa Melayu di Malaysia dan Indonesia, “Dia konsep Melayu Malaysia ini senang saja nak faham. Melayu itu bangsa bersuku-suku dengan pelbagai loghat, disatukan bawah Islam. Konsep Melayu di Indonesia berbeza. Macam bangsa Cina di China juga, pelbagai loghat tapi disatukan bawah satu republik.”

Sementara itu, walaupun kenyataan asal Ameera menerima kecaman hebat, dia kemudiannya menjelaskan bahawa dia lebih selesa mengaku sebagai Melayu supaya tidak perlu menerangkan asal-usul keturunannya secara panjang lebar. Namun, tindakan awal yang menafikan identiti Melayu telah pun mengundang pelbagai persepsi, terutama dalam masyarakat yang cukup peka terhadap isu bangsa dan akar budaya.

Tindakan Baby Shima pula, walaupun mungkin sekadar celahan berunsur sinis, nyata menjadi pencetus semula kepada perdebatan identiti yang tampaknya masih jauh daripada selesai. Dalam dunia yang semakin terbuka dan celik identiti, satu soalan kecil pun mampu menjadi percikan api yang membakar kembali bara perbincangan lama.

Austronesian people share haplogroup O1a1 (M119) and linguistic markers....but they have diverse culture and of different ethnicities.

Malay is just an Austronesian ethnicity
Jawa is also an Austronesian ethnicity

So, Jawa is not Malay

What about Bugis? If I am not mistaken, the originated from Sulawesi

Indonesia has hundreds of Austronesian ethnicities.....Sunda, Bali, Bugis, Minang, Minahasa, Sasak, Batak, etc....of course also Malay, especially in Riau, Riau Islands and West Kalimantan

Top Notch.
Ameera Khan says she is arab pakistani, not melayu.

Austronesian come from china what

meaning they all chinese

From Taiwan

china lah

until today i still don't understand the obsession of west malaysian with malay status....it doesn't work like that outside of west malaysia

same as ameera khan...nama dah "khan" bapa pakistan but forced her to admit she is malay

When talking about genetics, then need to specify time-frame. My time-frame is starting from the "Out of Formosa" hypothesis, since aboriginal Taiwanese have haplogroup O1a1 (M119) as well, it is likely they are the originator of that haplogroup.

Common ancestors of Chinese, Japanese, Koreans and Austronesians have the Haplogroup O....at that time, these ancestors are not Chinese or any ethnicity we recognize today.

Without specific time-frame, we can say....we are all Africans.

The concept of Bangsa (People) has been intermixed with Kaum (race) in casual speech that it muddles our understanding of what it actually is.

In Malaysia, Bangsa denotes the collective people who are citizens of Malaysia. Therefore, Bangsa Malaysia refers to all of us Malaysians. This was made officially in 1990 by Mahathir, to securely place everyone under one collective term. It's a Civic Nation concept.

Under Bangsa Malaysia, we have race or ethnic groups, in BM called KAUM. Hence we have kaum Melayu, Cina, India, Kadazan etc.

So where do Bangsa Melayu come from? Well, this goes waaaaay decades before the formation of Malaysia. We used to have Tanah Melayu or Malaya, hence the people of Tanah Melayu (who are predominantly Malays) are called Bangsa Melayu. This is an Ethno-Cultural Nation concept.

Having said that, there are many terms in our constitution that was not updated or streamlined, which made it even more confusing.

Does a country called Tanah Melayu exists before?

As far as our history, most of the states in Peninsula Malaysia is independent after the fall of Kesultanan Melaka

So, who is actually the real Malays?

Are Javanese, Bugis, etc. also Malays?

dah lama tak merasa type D. boring la tu
