Tanah Melayu has been known as ‘Golden Chersonese’(Land of Gold), and has been inhabited by the Malay and the Sultanates. Evidences from archeology, linguistics and history will show the facts that the Malay society is the indigenous people, and has existed since thousands of years in this land.Furthermore, Malay in Tanah Melayu has been marked with the Malay world awareness that they were the original inhabitants of this land.Even though the British colonized the Malay land and demographically changed Tanah Melayu, the history has shown that this is the Malays land and they are the early inhabitants. Therefore, this paper attempts to prove that the Malay is the indigenous people of Tanah Melayu based on the concept of Malay world.
