7 Differences Between Indonesia and Malaysia

[@GEOfocusChannel]

Hi, everyone! I hope you like the video! There's a mistake @6:08 because I misread an infographic from the Malaysian government. Here's the infographic: ►www.mycensus.gov.my/index.php/125-newsletter-infographics/343-infographics#gallery6d2b70fcaf-5 ►18.7% is Buddhist, 9.2% is Christian, 6.1% is Hindu, and 0.9% is other. The names of the religions are staggered on the infographic, but I thought they were directly above the percentage that applies to them.

Another (kinda) random thing I'd like to mention about the differences between the 2 countries, especially in terms of the language, is that some specific mathematical terms in Indonesian are mostly loaned from English, while in Malaysian Malay they would use a pure Malay term or sometimes Arabic terms, for example : English - Indonesian - Malay Integration - Integral - Pengamiran Differentiation - Turunan - Pembezaan Limit - Limit - Had (from Arabic, حد) Sequence - Barisan - Janjang Variable - Variabel - Pembolehubah Diagram - Diagram - Rajah Coordinate - Koordinat - Satah Constant - Konstan - Pemalar Exam - Ujian - Peperiksaan Permutation - Permutasi - Pilih atur Multiply - Kali - Kali or Darab (from Arabic) Subtract - Kurangi - Tolak Etc. As an Indonesian I've been interested on education in Malaysia and I was amazed on how the Malaysians came up with these new words that I've never seen or heard, yet sound so unique and fascinating.

Im Malay Indonesian, For your information: Sumatran Muslims are more similar to Malaysia, Sumatrans are more conservative in religion, Islam and culture have been integrated and strongly recognize similarities with Malaysia, so actually ethnicity influences everything here, so the difference is more Javanese and Malay. Java is still heavily influenced by Hindu-Buddhist cultural customs while Sumatra, except for the Batak, is strongly influenced by the Hadrami Arab Muslim culture which is anti-syncretism with previous beliefs (puritan).So for us Malays, religion and culture have been integrated into one, you could say we are an ethnoreligious community I'm palembangnese! we are the ancestors of the Malay nation, it has become an informal agreement, and just ask the majority of Kings in Malay realm evidence: 1. the oldest ancient human fossils in Sumatra are here (harimau cave, Padang Bindu, south Sumatera) 2. the largest and most complete megalithic site is here (Pagaralam Besemah south Sumatera) 3.Queen Shima the queen of Java is from Sribuja Malay (Musi Banyuasin) 3. we are Sriwijaya descendant (Minanga Ogan Palembang) 4. parameswara, first king in malay peninsula from Palembang, 5. princess dara petak dara jingga, 6. Raden patah, First muslim sultan in Java is a Palembangnese, 7. grandpa of hang tuah 'the greatest melakan admiral' from Sekanak Palembang, 8. most of habaib 'prophet descendant' in the archipelago are in Palembang, Palembang was known as second hadramot 9. the oldest city in the Malay world 'nusantara' is Palembang. 10. Term of Malay come from malayan kingdom and Melayu Sribuja around Palembang until Jambi before conquered by srivijayan empire Therefore we have an obligation to provide this explanation that we are ethnoreligious people.

As a Malaysian, I should say you are fair in your description about the two countries.. perhaps of your good command in both languages

[@lesussie2237]

Indonesians prefer to identify themselves with their ethnicity or 'tribe' (the direct translation of 'suku') rather than race like in Singapore or Malaysia. So it isn't uncommom for unique cases like racially Chinese people who identify as Javanese or people who identify as Arab even though their majority heritage is something else In essence, identity in Indonesia is more fluid and doesn't necessarily reflect their heritage. For example, I am majority Minang by blood (the majority ethnicity in West Sumatra), but I tend to identify more as Malay and Betawi (the ethnicity mostly found in Jakarta)

[@lesussie2237]

@Damai saja You're right, though I suppose the reason Malaysia broadly groups these different ethnicities into Malay is because alot of the Austronesian peoples of Malaysia are descendants of migrants from the East Indies (the area of modern Indonesia), especially from surrounding Sumatra & Borneo. So the modern Malays of Malaysia are actually a diverse mix of peoples who are similar enough to Malays that the British just didn't care enough to recognize and just grouped them up into Malay

[@SunnyIlha]

Oh interesting. When I went to live in Bali for 4 and a half months, I went through Java (Jakarta) twice. Inbound to Bali and outbound to Singapore. When in Jakarta I made a friend. An Oilfield Roustabout Worker. I was stranded at the Jakarta Airport because I missed my flight. The Airline (Garuda I think it was) gave me another flight with the same old out of date ticket because I was a bewildered, lost in the World, travelling college student. I was sitting there thinking I had to sleep in the airport chair for a darn week and gotta eat in the airport for a week because the next flight out they gave me as a substitute was one week later 😆😁!! An Indonesian Man saw me sitting there. He knew I was in trouble. He talked with me and understood my predicament. I could speak really elementary Bahasa and he could speak even better english, so we communicated good. He got me a hotel room and took me places in Jakarta like his two homes and to greet his two wives. He had two tiny houses deep inside the rough inner city neighborhoods however the houses were really nice inside and he drove a nice Mercedes Benz. He was on a hiatus from the Arab oilfields. Just inside the middle of his inner city neighborhood was an immense, gigantic Mosque covered in glittering gold. We went out to eat every night there riding the rickshaw, and eating nasi goreng and good stuff. When we went out at night to eat food out in the neighborhoods, the locals all thought I was Batak Tribe Group. Ya, everybody is a Tribal Group from someplace.

[@aqimjulayhi8798]

It’s also worth mentioning that some ethnic groups like Minangkabau, Bugis, Jawa and etc are grouped and assimilated into ‘Malay’ here in Malaysia. However on the eastern Borneo side, people rather be identified by their ethnic group such as Iban, Kadazan, Dusun, Melanau and so on.

Indonesians identify more strongly with religion than race/ethnicity

[@totokprasetyo5170]

Indonesian treasure their ancestor culture, hence many cultural aspect that predates Islam still preserved. The tendency of coexistence or even synchreticism have already been practiced long before modern Indonesian. While generally accepted that calm trait with peaceful and projected mind as virtues, Indonesian can be very brave and willing to self sacrifice when it comes to their liberty and dignity. Majority Indonesian follow revolutionary route to fought for their own freedom from colonial power, whilst overthrow old and helpless feudals and monarchs who were not supporting the Idea of Unitary Indonesian Republic. Indonesian are very friendly on the base of equality, but wont bows when its about power struggle and only see the relation to be benefited or won. Though some religion extrimist and fundamentals lost it, many todays Indonesian are still similar with their predecessor in which they will accept differences and coexist, and break the harmony only when the principle of balance, harmony, and independence or peoples dignity is under threat. PS: I think that the religion extremist movement in Indonesia is minor. Acts to weaponize religion for political purpose do occur, ranging from illegal underground movement to the use of religion sentiment by some politiciants in order to scrap votes of more religious minorities. Due to the very active states of democracy that is Indonesia todays.

[@telysiregar1350]

Nicely put! Some other points comes to mind: - government system - foods are spicier in Indonesia - Malaysian are much more fluent in English to the point they develop own accent - while no Indonesian speaks Dutch - Indonesian GDP PPP is higher - ethnicities in Indonesia feels more diverse (Javanese, Sundanese etc have their own distinct culture) but practically no or minimum racial segregation - Hindu influence (usually in names or lores) are more present in Indonesia, most likely due to Javanese being majority Cmiiw

[@halimmoesa]

• Foods are spicier in Indonesia? Depends on which place? As for instance people in Central Java and Yogyakarta their food are not spicy, but sweet instead. Indonesia is too big to be generalized. • Both GDP nominal & PPP, Indonesia is higher, but also both percapita nominal & PPP Malaysia is higher. • "Malaysians are much more fluent to the point they develop own accent" I don't think accent has something to do with fluency. As the Japanese, Russian, and Chinese also have their own accents when they speak English, yet their average people don't speak good English. • Hindu's influence, it's not just the Javanese. As can find Indian influence names easily across the Indonesia. People in Palembang (Sumatra) even name their football club by the name of Buddha/Hindu's kingdom "Sriwijaya FC".

Indonesian here. Indonesia and Malaysia really feels like two twin brothers who grew up with different parents (Great Britain and the Netherlands respectively). There are many differences but deep down we know we're still related. Some other differences to note include: - In Indonesia, the word "Malay" (Melayu) refers to just the Malay people/tribe who primarily inhabit the most of the provinces of Riau and Riau islands, and some of the provinces South Sumatra, Bangka Belitung, and West Kalimantan. They are different from the other tribes in Indonesia. In Malaysia, though, the word "Malay" (Melayu) has become a catch-all term for all "native-born" people, including basically almost all Austronesian people (from what I understand). This has made some different view on what constitutes as "Malay culture". - In Malaysia, a Malay person by law is only allowed to follow Islam and is not allowed to convert to any other religion. It's pretty much Malay = Islam. In Indonesia, everyone can follow any religion* they want (*as long as it's one of the six official religions of the country or if not, they can put the "Religion" field in their identity card blank). This has led to some funny encounters like if a Javanese Christian person from Indonesia orders pork in West Malaysia and people look at them weirdly. - From what I've seen, and please take this with a grain of salt, Indonesians are more likely to be proud of their pre-Islamic past compared to Malaysians. btw, AMA, I'll try to answer from an Indonesian perspective :)

[@risannd]

There's also suspicion that Malaysia use 'Malays' as catch-all term in order to increase its numbers against the Chinese. Speaking of pride of pre-Islamic history, mostly with the Javanese, and Sundanese to some extent. Malays not so sure, but they had Srivijaya Empire.

[@Un4rceable]

As a Indonesian-American I’ve noticed many big differences between the two siblings. 1. Malaysians are more conservative Islam than Indonesians. Mostly due to what I would say is the amount of longer Muslim populated land In Nusantara. Most of Indonesia didn’t become predominantly Muslim until the late 1800s to most of the 1900s. 2. Indonesia is more ethnically diverse and the “foreign Indonesians” tend to be more patriotic than the one’s found in Malaysia, who tend to be more proud of their land of origination as opposed to land of residence. A couple of my cousin’s Chindo friends went to Malaysia once for either a business trip or vacation and was looked down upon or sometimes, whether on purpose or not, insulted by the Chinese-Malaysians for not being able to speak Chinese. 3. The similarities between Malay and Indonesian is like Irish/Scottish and American English. Malaysians can understand Indonesians due to years of watching Indonesian entertainment but not so much the other way around 😅. They can also only mostly understand a western or, to be more accurate, Jakartan speaker as opposed to someone like me who is an Eastern Indonesian speaker. Other than what I could think of so far, we are really just the same people divided by a political boundary. I also think that the Filipinos should count as Nusantara considering how the Srivijaya empire also controlled parts of the Phillipines and how also very similar they are to both Indonesia and Malaysia, and no it has nothing to do with them also being Austronesian 😂. BUT hey Malaysians and my fellow Indonesians continue being yourselfs and roasting each other in good fun. Y’all roasting each other is what made me realize that we are the same people divided by political boundaries. 😂 Side note: When the Spanish came to the Phillipines they had to use Malay (the language not people) speakers as translators. They tried to do in the Phillipines what they did in the Americas and force people to speak Spanish which is why the Filipino Lingua Franca is what it is today. Can y’all imagine three types of spoken Malay if the Spanish had just tried to use Malay. English influenced, Dutch Influenced, and Spanish Influenced. I wonder what that would sound like. “Oh Dios anak! Porque Kamu taruh itu di muka.” “Porque aku mau keliatan Bonita mama!” 😂 Or Malaysian: “Tolong ambil Tual (English: Towel) itu.” Indonesian: “Tolong ambil Handuk (Dutch: Handdoek) itu.” Filipino: “Tolong ambil toaya (Spanish:Toalla) itu.”

Point no 2: Yes I totally agree with you on Malaysians tend to be proud of their ethnicity rather then their nationality wise. Malaysian tend to called themselves as Malaysian Chinese instead of Chinese Malaysian. Both hold different meanings and values although similar. Can't blame Malaysians why they behave so because that's how our history and education system moulded the citizens the way they are now. Fun fact# We also need to declare our race on our ID card (Not going into that in depth). I do feel that being unable to speak your ethnicity language is nothing to be ashamed of but of course no harm learning an extra language. However, somehow some Malaysians just don't seem to understand the differences among people with different backgrounds and upbringing. P/s: Speaking from my own life experiences as a Chinese from Malaysia who can't speak fluent Chinese at all. Haha I somehow survived..

The gap between very devout and very liberal Muslims in Indonesia is huge too so you can have one Muslims that would oppose everything Islamic to extremism and militants which would terrorize the innocent civilians. It’s almost unheard of in Malaysia. Things that can be added on the video: 1. Indonesia is a unicameral presidential republic while Malaysia is a bicameral parliamentary (rotational-elective) constitutional monarchy. 2. Indonesia is a unitary while Malaysia is a federation. 3. Malaysia has monarchies, 9 in total. Indonesia don’t (except Yogyakarta where the Sultan still hold significant role in the province). The concept of monarchy is so distant to general Indonesians these days. 4. Indonesia’s currency is Rupiah while Malaysia’s currency is Ringgit. The value differs greatly. 5. Malaysians tend to be more proficient in English than Indonesian. Malaysia ranked third in English Proficiency Index in Asia. 6. Bahasa Melayu Malaysia is more conservative in borrowing words from foreign language while Bahasa Indonesia is much more open and liberal about it. Hence why Bahasa Indonesia expand on a fast rate compared to Bahasa Melayu and explains why BM speakers tend to code-switch a lot. 7. In the early years of their foundation, Indonesia was lead by a more leftist-leaning leaders and party while Malaysian founding fathers were rightists and Anglophiles. Understanding this would make it easier to understand Konfrontasi era, etc. 8. When it comes to politics, Indonesians are a lot braver and fiercer than Malaysians. Malaysia barely ever have riots, if we have one, it’s usually a peaceful ones and organizer needs a permit from the authorities in which we usually obey (funnily and ironically enough). Indonesia is braver in this sense while Malaysians is the Britishey posh ones that usually discuss conflicts over a cup of tea 🤦‍♂️ 9. Malaysia has its own English variety called Malaysian English (MyE) or Malaysian Standard English (MySE) alongside a uniquely Malaysian English-based creole called Manglish (very similar to Singlish). MyE is formal English based on British while Manglish is a colloquial lect of English Creole. As far as I’m aware, Indonesia has neither. 10. Malaysia has states (like the US) while Indonesia has provinces (like Canada).

except the language… Sundanese and Javanese trade/port society have many loanwords from Malay. Probably due to proximity with Batavias where Betawi-version of Malay was widely spoken among pribumis. The language is well preserved among Agriculture society, but for the coastal/trading/port area not so much though.

[@azarimy]

Just to add on the language part: in Malaysia we call it Bahasa Melayu. This has always been the case since the formation of Malaysia in 1957. However, there was a shift in the late 70s-late 80s when some political parties urged everyone to start calling it Bahasa Malaysia. This was the result of trying to establish the identity of Malaysia, just as Indonesia called theirs Bahasa Indonesia. However, this caused a rift between historians/anthropologists vs politicians at the time. If Indonesians call it B.Indonesia and we call it B.Malaysia, what about other speakers in Brunei, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Cambodia etc? What would they call it? Eventually, it was then reverted back to Bahasa Melayu, to reflect the use of the language inherited since the pre-colonial era. This is not at all mean B.Melayu belongs to the Malays only.

@@GEOfocusChannel Yes, because of past discrimination in Indonesia many people with chinese roots tried to make themselves less chinese, hiding their ethnic identity, these days though their children simply don't care enough whether they are considered chinese or not, because most have been assimilated. It's also the reason why Indonesia seems to have such a low percentage of Chinese ethnicity, in reality the country have the highest number of people with chinese roots in the entire world outside of China. This is also the reason why the word "pribumi" are never used in daily conversation anymore in Indonesia, as it was used to alienate the chinese ethnicity in Indonesia in the past, no matter even if they have settled in the country for generations and assimilated. The word "pribumi" and "cina" (the word used to called people of chinese ethnicity in Indonesia) are close like the "N" word in america, not used in daily conversation, while not being a complete taboo word, people barely use them anymore unless in private conversation. These days people of chinese ethnicity in Indonesia are officially called chinese (yes the english word) or tionghoa (also means chinese but in the hokkien dialect). All of this has also led to the unique situation where Indonesia one of the few, if not the only country, that calls China by their "real name".

6:34 it depends on which area. People in Sumatra, Kalimantan and Sulawesi are generally more religious. Previously, Java was also religious (actually Java is still the center of Islamic studies until now), but since the nativization project carried out by the Dutch, where the Dutch made propaganda saying that you cannot be fully Javanese if you become Muslim and so On the other hand, they tried to separate Islam from Java (this is written in one of the literatures at Leiden University in the Netherlands). this was not without reason, the Dutch were traumatized by the Java vs Dutch war led by Prince Diponegoro, the most influential Islamist general in his era, Prince Diponegoro called the Javanese war as Fi Sabilillah war (holy war). The war was very costly and drained the Dutch of energy, the Dutch loss during the Java war was equivalent to the income of the Dutch kingdom during 20 years of colonization. so they made a project that separated Java and Islam, actually the Dutch were not interested in religion, but when it got in the way of their interests they would act. They also did the same thing to the Malays of Sumatra, Aceh, they sent a Dutch orientalist named Snouck Hurgronje because Aceh put up a big fight against the Dutch, but it seems that Islam is already strong for the Acehnese, while in Java, even though it is 90% Muslim, the hinterlands still carry out ancient rituals that has nothing to do with Islam.

Malay language in terms of slang and accent has evolved in Malaysia since independence. I have seen Malay commercial here in my country from the 70-80s, the way they speak is very different from how we speak today, but the spoken Malay from Indonesia still manage to resemble quite closely - maybe only a slight change, not as drastic. Just my opinion. Therefore at least on authenticity level, hate to admit it but i think Indonesia has a closer origin to Bahasa Melayu, than Malaysia.

[@cmkon3792]

Bahasa Melayu from Singapore reminds me of the Bahasa Malaysia I learned when in primary and secondary schools. These days many Arab's vocabulary have infiltrated into Bahasa Malaysia.

I think you should mention how variety ethnic group as background of Indonesia, that makes Indonesia different from Malaysia. As Java is the majority in Indonesia, not the Malay tribe, then it impact to the outcome of Indonesian identity. Also Indonesian language is heavily affected by Arabic language because they are merchant who visited most of Indonesia regions in old age.

Bali is nice. Jakarta is very interesting. Kuala Lumpur is Nice. The train from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur was fun. Got chickens and goats on the train with the riders. I wonder about now. I went years ago.

[@aNt1P414tAO]

Was that 40 yrs ago? Lol. Malaysia, especially Kuala Lumpur (KL) is very modern these days, so much more than Jakarta. Btw, there’s no direct train from SG to KL though. Public transportation only via luxury bus or airplane. Was there a direct train that many years ago?

[@SunnyIlha]

@@aNt1P414tAO There was a train. It did not enter into the internal part of Kuala Lumpur. It ended somewhere outside. This place I haven't memorized. It went out of Singapore from Singapore's border into Malaysia and travelled for a time and distance. It was during this stretch people got on with chickens in woven containers and goats came aboard and into the train car right alongside the owners. We stopped several times along the way northward towards Kuala Lumpur as people sold snacks and drinks through the windows to the riders. Many of the drinks were small ziplock bags with a straw. It was a very small rail train. A train maybe 8 to 9 feet wide inside. Let's see, I'm trying to recall since it was in 1984, Spring. I was in College, my last year (Cultural Anthropology) travelling as a full time student. I met a total stranger on the train. He was young too, Malaysian. He was astonished I was travelling the way I was and offered to help me find a hotel in Kuala Lumpur. I was about to eat and drink the train stop food and drink, but he said, save your money; there's good food in Kuala Lumpur. I think I was on the train for about 3 and a half hours. It ran maybe 45 miles per hour.

[@PineappleSkip]

@@SunnyIlha Last time we caught the train from KL to Singapore it ran from KL Central to Woodlands in Singapore, across the strait from JB. Before it was truncated to woodlands the terminus in Singapore was at Tanjong Pagar. The KTMB trains now only run to JB, with a shuttle train from JB to Woodlands. The shuttle was stopped for COVID, but I read it will start again tomorrow, 19 Jun.

[@sc5252]

@@SunnyIlha , now, you have to change your train trip twice if you want to travel by train from KL to Singapore or vice versa. Change train at Gemas, and JB, each change can be a long wait. So it's wasting time and money. More troublesome if you have a lot of luggage. Better take a direct bus, faster, easier and cheaper too. Direct trains from Singapore to KL should be available by early 2023. They should complete the upgrade work for existing rail track by then

[@sc5252]

@@SunnyIlha ,direct trains from Singapore to KL used to take at least six hours，they never had train so fast to complete the trip in about 3.5 hours before. Maybe in future when the track upgrade work which should be completed in a few months time, then they may have the train to do the trip in about 4 hours. The distance is about 370 km

Malaysians and Indonesians understand each other up to I would say 90% because Indonesia adopted the Malay Language as it's new unifying language in their Sumpah Pemuda (1928). Malaysia has always used Bahasa Melayu as its language because they are Melayus (Malays). Interestingly, most people of Indonesia are of the Malay ethnic group For example, the Delis, Minangkabaus, Kerichis and others on the Sumatera Island. In Kalimantan also there Malay ethnic groups such as Melayu Pontianak, Melayu Sambas, Melayu Kapuas Hulu and others. There also ethnic Malays on other parts of its 17,000 islands. Bantam is one of them.

[@avemariax8181]

Sorry, but I wouldn't say Indonesian are mostly of Malay ethnic. Javanese is the largest ethnic group by population, followed by Sundanese in the second position. Both of these ethnic groups (including their sub groups) combined fill half of the entire Indonesian population (around 55%), in which Javanese is 40% and Sundanese is 15%. While Malay ethnic including their sub groups are in the third position by population and not even making 10% of the population.

[@Si_nengatcha]

Do you mean Malay ethnic or Malay race? Language wise, definition of race and ethnicity is different. So, while many Indonesian look the same appearance wise (race), culturally speaking are different.(language, customs, clothing, traditions) --> ethnically different. So, Indonesia has over 300 ethnicities and hundreds of regional languages, and these languages are mostly unintelligible to one another.

bahasa melayu itu gagal dalam hal modernisasi, beda dengan bahasa indonesia yg sudah di upgrade dengan segala macam² bahasa seperti portugis, belanda, spanish, jawa, batak, minang, arab.

Another huge difference: Indonesia has 17,508 islands of which about 6000 are inhabited, and Malaysia has around 878 islands, most of which are uninhabited. (But, according to Wikipedia and the Department of Survey and Mapping, Malaysia, there are over 20,000 islands in the country.) So, it is probably impossible to compare the coastlines of these two countries. 😏

[@landove1486]

Pribumi as oppose to non-Pribumi sounds kinda racist to us Indonesians. We want to be associated more by our tribal/cultural identity, not by our racial identity. Thus you will find "Orang Melayu/Malay" in Indonesia limited to native people from several provinces i.e. Riau, Riau Islands, West Kalimantan who practice Melayu cunture. While in Malaysia, pretty much the opposite. Malay is based on racial identity. That's why all Austronesian looking people regardless their cultural background is considered Malay.

I fully agree with almost everything you say in this video. You're right about Indonesian & Malaysian Muslims. Malaysian Muslims are, in general, more conservative and devout than Indonesian Muslims. A high percentage of Indonesian Muslims are liberal, even not practicing. You're also correct about Malaysians who often mention our similarities while Indonesians dislike it and prefer to emphasize and even exaggerate our differences, especially differences in our languages (which are actually just different dialects of exactly the same language like British English and American English). NB: I'm Indonesian and a good observer.

And yet Indonesia has Syaria law in Acheh. Meanwhile, Kelantan (one of the Malaysian states) tries to implement Sharia law like Acheh but has been opposed heavily by the government and even its own people in Kelantan itself where among Malaysians, Kelantan people have been known as the most conservative people in Malaysia 😅

[@januargumelar3495]

@@hammerfall6666 I said about Malaysians in general, not specific Kelantan. Indonesians who live in Malaysia and Malaysians who live in Indonesia say that, in general, Malaysians are quite more conservative than Indonesians. And about Aceh, you don't know its history. Aceh was NEVER colonialized by the Dutch, the British, the Protugese, or any other Western power. Therefore, according to international law, Aceh had the right to establish its own country. In fact, it was a country. But Soekarno (1st president of Indonesia) begged Aceh to join the then new country of Indonesia, just like Tunku Abdul Rahman who asked Sabah & Sarawak to join Malaya. Aceh agreed, with some conditions. One of them was to implement sharia law. So the concept of implementing sharia law in Aceh existed since the very beginning of history of the Republic of Indonesia. Soekarno promised to fulfill Aceh request to implement the sharia law although he didn't fulfill it in the end, just appealing Aceh to join Indonesia. Not even in Soeharto era. Finally, after couples of decades, then the government of Indonesia fulfill its promise to let Aceh implement sharia law. Aceh totally has the right because it also holds the status of "special region". There are two special regions in Indonesia: provinces Aceh & Yogyakarta. In Yogyakarta, the governor is its king, Sultan Hamengkubuwono & the vice governor is another king (Sultan of Surakarta). Meanwhile, other provinces are led by governors elected via ballot boxes. So comparing Kelantan and Aceh is like comparing apples to oranges. And I didn't say that Malaysians are conservative. In fact, they're not---as most Muslims nowadays. They're affected and influenced by globalization spread from the West, especially US. BUT compared to Indonesians, in general, Malaysians are quite MORE conservative.
