Bendera Negara Turmenistan


Jarang kita dengar nama negara Turkmenistan ni. Sebuah negara Asia Tengah. Dulunya sebuah negara bawah Kesatuan Soviet, USSR. Mendapat kemerdekaan pada tahun 1991.

Petikan medium dot com - link:

It is a country in Central Asia, surrounded by such neighbours as Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Afghanistan and Iran. It has an access to the Caspian Sea and has a population of 5.6 million. Its capital city is Ashgabat and until 2006 it had the best president in the world, the one, the only — Saparmurat Niyazov.

Bendera rasmi Turkmenistan

Petikan Turkmenistan travel - link:

The colors green and red are present in this flag because they were historically revered by the Turkmens. In Islam, the green color has been considered a sign of special distinction – revered and sacred. It, as a symbol of youth and abundance, symbolized a fertile oasis, regenerating nature, and a full life. For Muslims, red color, as in other cultures, symbolized love and was considered sacred and magical.

The growing crescent moon symbolizes the country’s hope for a bright future, and the stars represent the five pillars of Islam and, at the same time, the five velayats (velayats) of Turkmenistan: Ahal, Balkan, Dashoguz, Lebap and Mary. The five traditional carpet patterns along the hoist make the flag of Turkmenistan the most complex national flag in the world. They represent the five main tribes or houses and form the motifs of the national emblem and flag of the country.

These Turkmen tribes in traditional order (and also from top to bottom) are Teke (Tekke), Yomut (Yomud), Saryk (Saryk), Choudur (Chowdur) and Arsary (Ersary). The middle design may also represent the Salyr (Salur), a tribe that declined as a result of military defeat before the modern period.

Artikel British dan Malayan Union


Baca artikel bertajuk 'Unsur yang telah menyebabkan kerajaan British mengemukakan Kesatuan Tanah Melayu'. Artikel oleh Raja Ali Raja Busu terbitan Jebat tahun 1971.

Umumnya unsur-unsur yang menyebabkan Kerajaan British mengemukakan Kesatuan Tanah Melayu adalah berpuncha dari keinginan British untuk bertapak semula di Tanah Melayu demi kepentingan politik dan ekonominya. Konsep berkenaan penyatuan Malaya memang sudah ada sejak zaman Clementi lagi iaitu diawal2 tahun 1930.

And yet, Orang Asli voices were voluble in their own circles during the colonial era, a period of vast social and economic change. [voluble mean talking easily at length].

Orang Asli dan Kolonial British


Ada sebuah artikel bertajuk 'Contacts and contrasts: the British vs the Orang Asli in Colonial Malaya' terbit pada 2012. Artikel oleh Adela S Baer (b.1931) tebal 25 m/surat.

Introduction; How the British Regarded the Orang Asli; How the Orang Asli Regarded the British; British Portraits of Individual Orang Asli Men and Women; British Justification for Taking Orang Asli Land; The Lingering Colonial Effects on Orang Asli.

Sedikit nota tentang tulisan Al-Atas dalam buku beliau Mitos:

In discussing the colonial-era population in Malaya, Al-atas did not acknowledge the presence of Orang Asli (pp.228-229). He stated flatly that the country belonged to the Malays (p.95) and that they gave up “their” land to the British (p.127). While, as Al-atas noted (p.102), Europeans forced themselves on the Malays, it was not only Europeans who forced themselves on the Orang Asli. Al-atas censured the colonial harm to majority groups in Southeast Asia, not the harm to minorities, such as the Orang Asli in his own nation-state.

Since the Orang Asli were not Malays not Moslem and lacking rajas or sultans with whom the British could palaver, they were deemed insignificant or, at times, quaint museum specimens. [palaver means a lot of fuss about something].
