Best Answer

Malaysia

I'm sorry but I believe that is incorrect inhabitants of Malaysia are known as Malaysian.

Malays do not come from a specific country. Malays form an ethnic group, part of which live in Malaysia but also Thailand or Indonesia.

Where did the Malays live?

Malays are an ethnic group from Southeast Asia. Their origins, are theorized to have come from Taiwan. Ethnic Malays today, live in Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, Singapore, Thailand and Philippines. Basically the Malay Peninsula and the Malay Archipelago. Malays are called "Melayu" in the Malay language. BY COUNTRY Ethnic Malays, make up a majority of Malaysia and Brunei's populations. About 50-60% of Malaysia's population are ethnic Malays. The others are Chinese and Indians. Since Brunei, is a small and nearly-landlocked by Malaysia (although bordering the South China Sea), with a population of roughly 300,000; about 90% of Brunei's population are ethnic Malays. In Indonesia, people think that Malays are a majority in Indonesia. Which is wrong, ethnic Malays only form about 20-35% of Indonesia's population. They live mostly in Sumatra's western coasts, Borneo, Sulawesi and small populations in Java. In Thailand, most of the ethnic Malays live in the southern provinces bordering Malaysia down south. Malays also make up a large population in Singapore, a country south of Peninsular Malaysia that is even smaller than Brunei. Brunei and Singapore are perhaps, Southeast Asia's smallest countries and both have big ethnic Malay populations. Malay is even an official language in Singapore.

Who signed the Burney Treaty of 1826 and the Anglo-Siamese Treaty of 1909?

the burney treatay was signed between burney, who representing EIC, and the Siamese Government. This agreement recognised the Malay state of kedah as well as patani as Siamese colonies. The malays denounced the agreement by staging armed uprisings. For 20 years the malays took up arms against the Siamese which subsequently forced the Siamese to come to terms with the Malays. By early 1840s the Siamese retired from Patani and kedah. However, in late 19th century, the Siamese made a come back with full backing from the British. By 1902 the british recognised the northern malays states as the Siamese states. the malays protested and warned the British that they would stage armed uprisings and seek Germany assistance to free themselves from the Siamese occupation. Realising that the Siamese would not be able to face the malays uprising and fearing that the other European powers would intervenve in the conflict that would affect british interests, the Siamese were forced to transfer the four northern malays states, except patani, to the british in 1909. The malays of patani revolted for indepemdence. The fighting is still going on until now.
