PETALING JAYA: Indian Muslims can’t become Bumiputeras, but a case could be made to categorise them as Malays, according to historian Khoo Kay Kim.

The emeritus professor’s remark came a day after Prime Minister Najib Razak said the government would study the Indian Muslim community’s request for recognition as Bumiputeras.

Khoo told FMT the term “Bumiputera” was coined in 1963 to refer to the non-Muslim indigenous peoples of Sabah, Sarawak and Peninsular Malaysia.

“Before 1963, Malays in Peninsular Malaysia were just called Malays,” he said, noting that a Malay is defined as someone who is a Muslim, speaks Malay habitually and practises Malay customs.

He added that a Bumiputera who is a Muslim can be considered a Malay.

Khoo said the definition of “Malay” was developed by the British in 1913 when the colonial government introduced the Malay Land Reservation Enactment and needed to provide a definition.

“But as we know, Bumiputeras can’t buy Malay reserve land. Sabah and Sarawak Bumiputeras can buy the reserve land in their respective states.”

He noted that both Malays and Bumiputeras enjoyed special rights.

He also noted that Indian Muslims in Penang had been regarded as Malays for a long time.

It was the Indian Muslims who, in 1927, formed Penang’s first Malay Association. They played a major role in the establishment of Umno in the state.

“So, while the government cannot give the Indian Muslims Bumiputera status, it can give them Malay status if they want that,” Khoo said.

For some time now, members of the Indian Muslim community have been pushing to be recognised as Bumiputeras, with some saying there is no reason to deny them the status since the Melaka Portuguese are considered Bumiputeras.

However, according to Richard Hendricks, who chairs the Portuguese Settlement’s village and security committee, the Portuguese don’t have Bumiputera status although they enjoy some Bumiputera benefits, such as being qualified to participate in the Amanah Saham Bumiputera scheme.

The Peranakan Chinese of Melaka are also seeking recognition as Bumiputeras.

Going by news reports, there is some confusion over the Bumiputera status of the Siamese community, although Senator Boon Som Inong said in 2012 that it did indeed have that status.

Prime Minister Najib Razak spoke on the Indian Muslims’ request on Tuesday at an event organised by the Federation of Malaysian Indian Muslim Associations (Permim). He said Putrajaya would study it.

At the event, Permim president Dhajudeen Shahul Hameed made three demands, namely the gazetting of the community as Bumiputera, the setting up of an Indian Muslim landmark in Kuala Lumpur or Putrajaya, and the appointment of a special officer in the Prime Minister’s Department to manage the affairs of Indian Muslims in the country.

印度雅各布：根据历史学家Khoo Kay Kim，印度穆斯林不能成为Bumiputeras，但可以将他们归类为马来西亚。
名誉教授的讲话是在总理纳吉卜·拉扎克总理说，政府将研究印度穆斯林社区的承认要求为Bumiputeras之后的一天。
Khoo告诉FMT，1963年创造的“Bumiputera”一词是指沙巴，沙捞越和马来西亚半岛的非穆斯林土着人民。
“在1963年之前，马来西亚半岛的马来西亚刚刚被称为马来人，”他说，注意到一个马来人被定义为一个穆斯林的人，惯常地说马来人和实践马来人的习俗。
他补充说，作为穆斯林的Bumiputera可以被认为是马来语。
Khoo说，“马来语”的定义是由英国人在1913年殖民地政府引入马来土地保留制度而制定的，需要提供一个定义。
“但是我们知道，Bumiputeras不能买马来保留地。沙巴和砂拉越Bumiputeras可以在各自的州购买储备土地。“
他指出，马来人和Bumiputeras都享有特权。
他还指出，槟城的印度穆斯林长期以来一直被视为马来人。
1927年，印度的穆斯林成立了槟城的第一个马来人协会。他们在该州建立乌姆诺发挥了重要作用。
“所以，虽然政府不能给印度穆斯林的Bumiputera身份，但如果他们愿意，可以给他们马来人的身份，”Khoo说。
现在有一段时间，印度穆斯林社区的成员一直在推动被认为是布米普拉拉斯，有人说，没有理由否认他们自从马六甲葡萄牙人被认为是布米普拉斯以来的地位。
然而，根据理查德·亨德里克斯（Richard Hendricks）的话说，葡萄牙人解决方案的村庄和安全委员会负责人，虽然他们享有一些Bumiputera的优惠，但是没有Bumiputera地位，因为他们有资格参加Amanah Saham Bumiputera计划。
马六甲的Peranakan中国人也正在寻求Bumiputeras的认可。
按照新闻报道，暹罗社区的Bumiputera地位有些混乱，尽管参议员彭恩恩在2012年表示确实有这样的地位。
纳吉卜拉扎克总理星期二在马来西亚印度穆斯林协会联合会（Permim）举办的活动中就印度穆斯林的要求发表了讲话。他说普特拉贾亚会研究它。
在活动中，Permim总统Shahul Hameed提出三个要求，即社区公布为Bumiputera，在吉隆坡或普特拉贾亚设立印度穆斯林地标，并任命总理部的一名特务官印度穆斯林在该国的事务。
