초록
Malaysia is a multi-ethnic and multi-cultural society. The Malays formed the major ethnic group(65% of the population), whose lifetime rituals are made into the research topic in this article. The Malay identity is often identified with being Muslim, but their original culture and lifestyles are strongly influenced by various foreign and aborigianal cultures, including Hinduism, Buddhism, Western culture, and animism. For instance, the practice of the ‘baby-lip-wetting’ originated from the Hindu culture, which expressed parents' hope that the child will become a person that can make others happy with his/her verbal words. Kenduri, a social gatherting, is also a Hindu tradition. Even today, Kenduri remains as a customary practice that maintains its warm human nature. The rites of death are heavily influenced by the Islamic religious traditions. According to its belief in the resurrection of the dead, the Malays tend to make a residential area in a form of a tomb for the spirit. Through the examinations of various rituals, it can be concluded that the Malays were more influenced by the Indian and Arabic cultures compared to Chinese or Western cultures. Particularly, despite the Malays were placed under the British rule for over 200 years, they excluded a blind obedience to the Western customs and adopted other non-Malay traditions. By understanding the Malays' lifetime rituals based on cultural relativism, we can more easily understand the historical formation of this multi-ethnic and multi-cultural state of Malaysia.
Abstract
Malaysia is a multi-ethnic and multi-cultural society. The Malays formed the major ethnic group(65% of the population), whose lifetime rituals are made into the research topic in this article. The Malay identity is often identified with being Muslim, but their original culture and lifestyles are strongly influenced by various foreign and aborigianal cultures, including Hinduism, Buddhism, Western culture, and animism. For instance, the practice of the ‘baby-lip-wetting’ originated from the Hindu culture, which expressed parents' hope that the child will become a person that can make others happy with his/her verbal words. Kenduri, a social gatherting, is also a Hindu tradition. Even today, Kenduri remains as a customary practice that maintains its warm human nature. The rites of death are heavily influenced by the Islamic religious traditions. According to its belief in the resurrection of the dead, the Malays tend to make a residential area in a form of a tomb for the spirit. Through the examinations of various rituals, it can be concluded that the Malays were more influenced by the Indian and Arabic cultures compared to Chinese or Western cultures. Particularly, despite the Malays were placed under the British rule for over 200 years, they excluded a blind obedience to the Western customs and adopted other non-Malay traditions. By understanding the Malays' lifetime rituals based on cultural relativism, we can more easily understand the historical formation of this multi-ethnic and multi-cultural state of Malaysia.
