    can’t tell you just how much this hits close to home! i’m a pure blood javanese, born and raised in brunei, and studied in a chinese school all my life. i‘m what they call a third culture kid and i can’t say it was easy growing up every day in 3 different cultural environments, but i don’t think i’d have it any other way!

    Actually, historically there was no "Indonesian", "malaysian", "bruneian" or "singaporean", they are one people, the MALAY people who speak "bahasa" and adhere to the culture of the Austronesian ancestors (11:28 and 12:27) who lived in the Nusantara since ancient times. Colonials split us apart. So we are one, so love not hate 👍🏼

      No, malay people only reside at the region of sumatra and malay land. Even though the language has been lingua franca, it does not used outside commercial in java island and other indonesian island during ancient time.
      Hence the term malay should be austronesian as we are the same gene but ethnically different.
      If there are no colonialism, malaysia would exist but in bigger portion along with part of sumatra, java would be divided into 2 country of sundanese and javanese, bali would be another country, borneo would also be another country, along with papua, makassar, etc

      What ???? We Indonesian comes from different ethnics and speak different lenguage also different culture.
      Malaysian or Singaporean Malay should learn these.
      Balinese ,Papuan, Javanese , Sundanese , Minang, Batak, etc is come from different root. They unite together as Indonesia and learn Bahasa Indonesian lenguage for easier to us communicate with each other that came from different root.
      If all these ethnics not unite as Indonesian, maybe they already have different country just like Fillipino or Thai.
      In Indonesia we also have ethnics Malay mostly they residing in Riau island,Medan and Bangka Belitung.Malays in indonesia also only speak Malay that also similar to Bahasa Indonesia. But they don't have any other dialect lenguage.

      @@shamsulbahrein1999 Filipino also descend from Majapahit empire ,but that doesn't make Filipino become Malay or Javanese.
      Majapahit is javanese empire. Javanese is larger population in Indonesia . All place in Indonesia have Javanese community . Because javanese like to "wander / merantau "all over the place .
      There is large community javanese people in Suriname ( Brazil) . They have been present since the late 19th century.
      How could you call all Indonesian that have different background to become Malay ??
      If your reason is because Majapahit descend , we should call them Javanese instead. But i am very sure all these people wouldn't like it. They are very different from Javanese. Even though most Indonesian culture is influenced by Javanese.
      Malay and Indonesian our similarities is only Bahasa .
      Even though Malaysia , Indonesia , Singapore , Brunai, become one country as Nusantara.
      We still call Javanese as Javanese .
      Malay as Malay.
      Balinese as Balinese .
      Papua as Papuan etc.
      It doesn't make all these people become Malay!
      They are different.

      ​@@evi8060 No actually, if you look at the genetic structures, ethnic groups in the Philippines, Malaysia, and Indonesia except Papuans, Indians, Chinese, or Negritos, share Austronesian ancestry. Although Javanese and Sundanese have higher Austroasiatic ancestry, they also have Austronesian genetic. So these three places, and to small extent Singapore are still related, heavily related.
