The first questionable whether Interlok is English or Malay terminology? Why did Pena never feel shy about Malay language as ``Bahasa Pinjaman?'' or PENA never work hard o create any new malay words? Malas tapi mahu samseng.To UMNO and the gang what is Interlok means?
Interlock covers the period from the early 20th century to Malaya's independence from British rule. The main theme in this novel is the integration of the various majority races of Malaya and how the Malays, Chinese and Indians, represented by three families, have contributed towards this sovereign nation.
Pena should just shut up and understand the sensitivities of the others. Indians may be the minority but it doesn't mean that they have no feelings. What if the same were to be written of the Malays. Please be more civilised before PENA open your mouth
Zakir's stand to gather Malay NGOs to defend a 'factual' novel that purportedly promotes integration among the various ethnic groups ...
Well, it's laughable at best. If he's trully genuine in his wishes, he should be engaging the groups, and find out why and what is it that the Indian groups find objectionable. He's an intellectual, after all. Can't he explain? What fact can he establish by gathering people and protesting? Will the objectionable view points become less offensive if a large number of Malay NGOs gathered to support it?
Since BM became our first language in schools; unfortunately, thanks largely to UMNO's misguided policies and confused priorities, it remains a second-class language outside, in the private sector.
The Malays themselves do not respect their language.
Question: do the Malay elite read Bahasa Malaysia? They don't even speak it these days, even in their houses! So, who is to be blamed for the pitiful state of Malay literature?
As our best wishes to Rakyat in year 2011, please say laoudly ``Go to Hell PENA , racist Pena'' as with most umno institutions with "national" in front. Nary a whimper over Kutuksan over the decades past!

u are somewhat to be call as a racist and cannot be a loyal malaysian as u ignore Bahasa Melayu as Bahasa Malaysia = primary language in Malaysia. it has been written in Malaysia Constitution. if u can't accept it, then u can return to government your I.C and passport if u have, then apply citizenship from other country
Kau tu lagi la racist! Baca la novel tu (aku rasa kau tak baca dan mungkin tak paham betul2 bahasa melayu) Dah kau nak demokrasi, suara majoriti la yg jelas. Kau paham tak demokrasi ni? Ada baca ka ni?
Kalaupun kau bukan daripada golongan pariah, dengan cara kau melihat isu ini macam pariah. Hello, please grow up!
Konflik uni terjadi kerana terdapat "mereka-mereka" yang tidak faham dengan Bahasa
Malaysia kerana bersekolah di sekolah rendah jenis kebangsaan dan kurang fasih berbahasa Melayu.
Bagi bersekolah di sekolah jenis kebangsaan tetapi fasih dan memahami bahasa Melayu mungkin tidak terjadi konflik seperti ini.
Penulis blog ini sendiri pun rasanya tak fasih berbahasa Melayu.
Interlok perlu dijadikan bahan bacaan agar dapat menjadi teladan kepada generasi baru Malaysia.
Kawan saya berbangsa India tetapi fasih berbahsa Melayu setelah saya tunjukkan buku Interlok dan dia membacanya mengatakan terdapat salah faham masayarakat India yang tidak memahami buku ini.
Selamat sejahtera, saya merupakan seorang warganegara malaysia.
Antara sebab isu ini dibangkitkan oleh golongan india adalah kerana perkataan salah telah digunakan.
Di India perkataan pariah tidak digunakan, sebaliknya perkataan dalit digunakan bagi kelas kasta bawahan.
Makna Dalit adalah lantai. Manakala perkataan pariah dikaitkan dengan anjing jalanan.
Oleh itu perkataan salah ini membawa makna yang amat lain dan tidak berpatutan. Tolonglah, demi kesejahteraan malaysia, gunakanlah perkataan yang membawa maksud yang betul.
They should use Shudras instead of Pariah.
masalah masyarakat India di malaysia ialah mereka masih tak faham perkataan PARIAH tu telah di "melayukan" utk membawa maksud "No class/low class " - takde kelas,
bukan no caste seperi asal perkataan PARIA itu sendiri..
Begitu juga dengan perkataan Babi - di Malaysia mungkin bermaksud "Pig" tapi di India .. ramai memakai nama Babi.. jadi itulah masalahnya kalau bawak perkataan asal ke negara lain....
Dah baca ke novel tu? Siapa pariah ? Isunya bukan tentang siapa pariah tetapi lebih kepada politik jalanan / politik dalca . Banyak karya barat bercerita tentang pariah. Ada engkau ambil kisah sebelum ni? semuanya disebabkan politik perkauman. semakin berani ya......
Di US, buku Huckleberry Finn menjadi salah satu bacaan di sekolah, penuh dgn perkataan nigger tapi tidak menjadi isu kerana ianya hanya literature, fiksyen. Perkataan pariah juga digunakan dlm bahasa Inggeris (sila semak kamus Webster) kalau tiada kamus boleh semak di free dictionary dlm google. Ini adalah fakta yang wujud dlm sejarah kedatangan kaum india di tanah melayu. Kenapa perlu melenting? Menjadi isu sebenarnya ialah kegagalan sesetengah pemprotes memahami bahasa melayu dengan sempurna, ini akibatnya asyik meminggirkan bahasa kebangsaan. Untuk makluman interlok ialah bahasa melayu yang meminjam daripada bahasa inggeris. Apa perlu dimalukan? Bahasa Melayu adalah bahasa muda (young/ new language) yang dinamik boleh meminjam dan memberi pinjam bahasanya. Bahasa inggeris sendiri meminjam bahasa lain dan dimasukkan di dlm bahasanya seperti pariah (tamil) dan amok, sarong (bahasa melayu). Jangan terlalu ghairah menghina, menuduh org lain tidak memahami anda tapi adakah anda berusaha untuk memahami orang lain?
hey macha,
ada perkataan KELING ke dalam novel tu? Dasar KELING suka berbelit-belit. Pesan orang-orang tua, kalau terjumpa ular dan keling, jangan lupa bunuh keling dulu... hahahaha. Malaysia adalah Tanah Melayu, bukan tanah keling. poorah pundek.
Jangan gadoh2 dgn dorang ni, nanti kena bakaq...

to spark controversy is very easy. this article is irresponsible at best. spineless, non factual bullshit.

dan dari zaman gua sekolah gua memang bengang dengan India...
lagi lagi yang nak tunjuk pandai tentang tanah melayu sedangkan dia sendiri tak faham dan mengunakan bahasa melayu macam kau ni...
sekarang ni gua rasa lu patut keluar dari malaysia dan balik ke tanah negara kamu dan duduk seperti orang susah kat sana agar kamu faham betapa untungnya kamu jadi warga malaysia...
sudah diberi nikmat hidup sama rendah dan sama tinggi di malaysia lu ambil kesempatan cuba bakar api terhadap kaum lu yang sememangnya buta sejak azali...
dan memang benar lu ni lah pariah dalam kaum India kerana kamu tidak berani berdiri mempertahankan kebenaran kaum India dan lu lah orang yang dimaksudkan didalam Novel Interlok itu...
Lu cuba menanguk di air keroh dan cuba mengambil kesempatan utk kesenangan lu, jadi lu lah pariah paling besar...
faking pariah.

If we are to write the reality of things, we would learn Malays are the true blue pariah. If you learn the root of Melayu, it is Layu. I would leave the rest to you, and what melayukan really means. Malay never have a proper writing system to call their own, but copied it from Rumi and Arabic, and call it Jawi (Javanese?). If that is copied, what else is copied? Frankly, if there are true malay, please look at UMNO leaders, which one of them are the most malay of all? You would find that the UMNO leaders are celup after all, no more pure as a race, 1rojak, 1pariah always. And 1mamak led the party of 20+ years.... So why let someone write and approve Interlok? Is it a revenge on the 1pariah mamak?
I do welcome we all could speak and write the truth. If we did, UMNO would not be in power. Shame on the Malays, we all know the truth, but never spoke or write about it. We just know.
it is very common so called "malay" scholars declare or write something with hear says. like banning yoga. they don't even know what is yoga. thats why malays becomes laughing stock around the world. they can only read things in malay and listened to their preachers. they dont even dare to question their beliefs. they said it is a fact even now (since the so called fact is totally wrong and can be found in the internet. maybe their english restrict them). so, you should understand their mental capacity to find the truth/fact is very low. only thing they know is, MUST FIGHT IF MINORITIES ADDRESS THEIR UNHAPPINESS. They are thinking minorities must keep their mouth shud no matter what. they might talk within them, "ini india tak sampai 10 peratus berani suruh tarik balik buku" apa jadipun ini tanah melayu, apa kita buat, mereka patut terima. jangan buat kita ambil parang. Kalau mau hidup di Malaysia, kebenaran adalah apa yang melayu cakap. sejarah adalah apa yang melayu cakap. ketuhanan adalah apa yang melayu cakap. budaya yang betul adalah apa yang melayu cakap. kalau saya cakap nama bapa awak Rajendran dan bukan subramaniam awak patut terima. sebab saya melayu. kalau melayu cakap, semua betul.tak boleh cakap tak betul. nanti saya ambil parang. mei 13, jun 14, julai 15.

Something informative for the TRUE Malaysian who cares about Malaysia.
Please finish reading & think rationally before you make any judgement. http://bit.ly/g2xEev
Masih ada di kalangan kita yang masih belum faham akan sejarah di tanah melayu. Pelbagai sejarah di tanah melayu adalah dicipta dan telah diilhamkan bagi membawa kesejahteraan di tanah melayu sejak dahulu lagi. Ada perkara di Peringkat tertinggi keselamatan negara telah memikirkannya dan telah memutuskan agar tidak diketahui umum dan juga untuk melindungi kepentingan sesetengah golongan. Kepada yang telah tahu akan sejarah mereka tidak mampu menyuarakannya sebab ISA. saya cuba tanya satu perkara dan anda yang baca sila renungkan... Kewujudan Melaka. (Mana Sultan Mansor Shah dan yang telah menukar namanya daripada parameswara. Dimana makamnya. Dimana sejarah peninggalan Tamadun awal melaka? kenapa di Kedah masih wujud?) mungkin pembaca boleh renungkan tetapi buku sejarah kita bukan pada kita tetapi di pihak penjajah (sila rujuk penjajahan pulau pinang oleh francis light, dan anda akan tahu kewujudan negeri-negeri di tanah melayu dan sultan). Banyak yang kita boleh pertikaikan, tetapi ramai golongan yang tahu membuat keputusan untuk mendiamkan diri. Sesetengah golongan tahu akan kewujudan mereka dan merasakan tidak selesa, oleh yang demikian ramai diantara merela telah migrate ke negara luar, dan golongan ini hampir 83% adalah golongan yang berpelajaran tinggi. Kita di sini masih bertekak disebabkan sesetengah sejarah yang tidak ditulis dan telah disembunyikan....
The novel Interlock really not suitable for secondary school student!
It create discrimination to Chinese, Indian and purposely ignored the facts.
Characters of Chinese and Indian depicted by the writer is con, raper, sucking people's money, cheating land, lust and raping.
When commenting and insulting Indian as keling, is not right.
Just as Indonesians are calling Malay as Maling or Malingyu. So think twice why indonesians calling mMalaysia as malingsia???
Because in the eyes of Indonesians are regarding Malay are maling, con man and terribly twisting facts and brain washing others, even brain washing their youngsters and young generation. Go to googles and find the word "malingsia", then you will understand why indonesia are calling this word. It is a word replacing malaysia, so understand the facts that why malaysia is malingsia, malay is maling or malingyu.
are indonesians racist?
No, nusantara speak the truth, so the name of malaysia in map shall be change to malingsia.......
write a thesis and do more research on "malingsia' trend...as indonesia is one of the biggest country in Asia, Is more important and vital in the world then malaysia-- a small nut!
It is time to make more academic research and writing on "malingsia", 'malingyu", "maling", because the world need to know the truth.
Universitas Indonesia and other universitas shall open up a department of "Malingsia or malingyu studies department.
More books, academic thesis on Malingsia, maling shall be written, which we all can see how UMNO is dictator and mind controling people's mind.
Like Biro tata negara(BTN) a govt agency of Malaysia that mind control and brain washing the govt servants.
In press, the utusan malingsia, berita harianan, metro all want their staff to join UMNOO, why...to control them, force them loyal to corrupted and dictatorship of UMNOO!
terribly shocking to see Malaysia under UMNOO! So, Indonesians are very well understand the tactic of UMNOO BN govt, so they call Malaysia as malingsia, and Malay as malingyu and maling .
indonesia understand well how cruel, bad hearted and cuuning style of UMNNO and malingsia govt!
indonesia is doing right thing!
So, shall we call for all Indonesian writers to write novel, cerpen/short story of Malingsia, maling?
Even those in Britain, USA, India, Australia, taiwan, New Zealand shall write short story of malingsia.
I think Leden university in Holland and U. I. should open up studies of malingsia, as this can educate people to understand the bad character, ill intention, foul play and brain washing by malingsia controlled by UMNOO. the most dictatorship govt in this world.
Really need people to write and wake-up all!
malingsia , maling, malingyu are words must be known by all!
thanx to Indonesians that are using the word day by day.
Now is the time for writers to write more books, studies and researchs on maling, malingyu.
London and australia university should take initiative to begin study on "maling" trend.
Binding up the studies of "malingsia" from google search, and evaluate the trend and why indonesians are using these words--malingsia, maling, malingyu!
Quality and wide-scope research are needed.
AMOK IS A MALAY WORD
I am disappointed, to say the least, with the current state of race relations in this country. The provocative stance taken by the Indians, led by Hindraf, has placed undue stress on the country’s social fabric.
The main problem with the Indians in Malaysia is that most of them are pariahs. In India, the well-entrenched caste system has always ensured that the pariahs are kept in their place.The pariahs are not given even a nanometre of space to transgress. As an example, when a pariah is caught drinking from a well owned by a brahmin, the offence is punishable by death and the well filled-up to prevent contamination.
The Malays, who are by nature kind-hearted and generous, had accepted the pariahs who came to this country as human beings and equals. The pariahs, in their toddy and samsu-filled minds, have mistaken the good nature of the Malays as a sign of weakness.
Lately, cajoled by the rhetoric of a Malay politician who is obsessed to be the prime minister, the pariahs are emboldened. They now want to impose a caste system in this country where they are at the top of the social hierarchy and the Malays as pariahs. Any opposition to this agenda will be labelled as racism and the pariahs will moan and whine as if they are the victims.
I think it is timely to tell the pariahs not to test the patience of the Malays. Patience has its limit. The Malays are accommodating but lest we forget, the word 'amok' in the English language originates from the Malay world.
HARRY KOK WENG KER
