description |
Malays are a distinctive nation native as well as among the oldest ethnic group in
the world encompassing the land of Nusantara, Madagascar and the Pacific Islands.
The Malay civilization is associated with the Southeast Asian region known as the
Malay Archipelago, the Malay-Indonesian Archipelago, the Nusantara, the Malay
Realm and the Land of Java. It also includes the islands of Indonesia, Malaya, the
islands of Borneo, Philippines, Singapore which consisting two communities namely
Proto-Malay (aboriginal Malay) and Deutero-Malay (new Malay). Therefore, this
study attempts to shed some light on the origins of the Malay community from the
historical point of view and its relation to modern genomic field. The findings indicate
that there is a significant relationship between the history of Malay origins and the
modern genomic field that was done through the mitochondrial DNA analysis. This is
followed by the Nusantara that serves as the major genetic reservoir of the world
Malay group. Thus, it is apparent that the genomic study of the Malay ethnic group is not solely focused on the origins of the nation alone, but to enhance the health level of
the race through disease analyses, medical practice and research. Subsequently, this
will lead to the production of pharmaceutical products which is indeed beneficial in
addressing local health needs. |
