The Bujang Valley or Lembah Bujang is a sprawling historical complex and has an area of approximately 224 square km. Situated near Merbok, Kedah, between Gunung Jerai in the north and Muda River in the south, it is the richest archaeological area in Malaysia.
These archaeological remains indicate that there may have been a Hindu-Buddhist polity here. The name itself is roughly translated into "Dragon Valley". The area consists of ruins that may date more than 1,500 years old. More than fifty ancient tomb temples, called candi (pronounce "chandi"), have also been unearthed.

Tambralinga was an ancient kingdom located on the Malay Peninsula that at one time came under the influence of Srivijaya. The name had been forgotten until scholars recognized Tambralinga as Nagara Sri Dharmaraja. Early records are scarce while estimations range from the seventh to fourteenth century. The kingdom ceased to exist around 700. Tambralinga first sent tribute to the emperor of the Tang dynasty in 616. In Sanskrit, tambra means "red" and linga means "Siva" or "phallus".
By the end of the twelfth century, Tambralinga became independent of Srivijaya as the empire suffered a decline in prestige. At its height between the thirteenth century and the beginning of fourteenth century, Tambralinga had occupied most of the Malay Peninsula and become one of the dominant Southeast Asian states. By the end of the fourteenth century, Tambralinga was recorded in Siamese history as Nagara Sri Dharmaraja Kingdom.
The Naksat cities are a chain of twelve inter-linked cities or muangs of the ancient Malay Kingdom of Tambralinga.The term Naksat refers to the Lunar calendar system, the Naksat Pi, which is based on a duodenary cycle of years, with each year being associated with a particular animal.
Eleven of the twelve cities have been identified and are all located on the Malay Peninsula. The eleven cities with their associated animal "years" are Narathiwat (Rat), Pattani (Ox), Kelantan (Tiger), Kedah (Big Snake), Patalung (Little Snake), Trang (Horse), Chumporn (Goat), Krabi (Monkey), Kanchanadit (Chicken), Phuket or Takuapa (Dog) and Kraburi (Pig). The missing city, Muang Pahang, is associated with the Year of the Rabbit. It has also been speculated that Kota Gelanggi is the twelfth city.

Dalam Buddhism di sini zaman purba memang ada kasta, chong.... Raja2 pakai kitab Dharmasastra untuk undang2 negara... Dharmasastra adalah undang2 Hindu... Ada hukuman mengikut kasta, n ada jugak hukuman2 yang diringkaskan dalam Garuda Puranna digunakan misalnya sulo (sula, jolok lubang jubot ngan kayu tajam sampai tembus kat tekok)... Ada jugak sami Buddha dari kasta Brahman (Brahmin).
Kalau benar pun cerita di atas, Melayu kat sini skarang lain dengan Cina Totok atau India Totok.
Kita ikut perlembagaan. Ikut undang2. We are govern by rules and constitution. Perlembagaan kita masa merdeka itu define pendatang dari Cina dan India ni merujuk kepada orang India pada masa itu (masa kurun ke 20), bukan merujuk kepada orang Cina atau India pada kurun ke 15. Takda guna laa compare 500 tahun atau 1000 tahun lepas.

yg langkasuka kedah/kelantan -- hindu
yg kota gelanggi johor -- buddist
sama dgn Jawa je, hindu + buddist (zaman pre-islam)
ikut sejahrah org beragama Islam yg pertama di Melaka-lah Laksamana Cheng Ho dari bangsa Hui
bangsa hui iatu same dgn Abdullah Badawi punya tok yg berasal Hainan
bab tu Islam mula sebab Sultan Melaka syukur Cheng Ho yg halau org Siam dari Melaka
Abdullah Badawi was born in Kepala Batas, Penang to a prominentreligious family. His father, Ahmad Badawi, was a prominent religiousfigure and UMNO member. Badawi's paternal grandfather is SyeikhAbdullah Badawi Fahim, who was one of the founding members of HizbulMuslimin, later known as PAS. Syeikh Abdullah Badawi Fahim was also afamous nationalist and first mufti of Penang after Independence. Hismaternal grandfather, Ha Su-chiang (also known as Hassan), was aChinese Muslim who came from Sanya in Hainan.
Simple je bnda ni sume. Masyarakat Melayu dulu sangat taat kepada raja. Rakyat akan ikut agama yang diikuti oleh raja. Bile raja dah peluk Islam maka rakyat pown ikat juga. Parameswara mmg Hindu-Buddha tpi bile dia peluk Islam maka jdi Islam beliau. Dia pun ada nama Islam tpi aku dah lupa. Korang yang Islam ni takkn sendiri pun tak tahu sejarah Islam dekat Tanah Melayu? Jgn cepat trtipu dgn bangsa pendatang ni. Tengok Singapore tu smpi sejarah sendiri dorang bley putarkan sedangkan dlu Singapore ada Sultan. Dorang lgi snggop julang Stamford Raffles demi nak menunjukkan Singapore tu bukan orang Melayu yang punya.
Rsnya tuan tanah tak reti beza antara agama Hindu-Buddha dan bangsa India. Entah2 dia sendiri tak tahu orang Cina dkat Tanah Besar China tu lebih ramai Islam dan dikatakan maharaja pun Islam.
Setiap bangsa mempunyai negeri masing2 untuk menjadi khalifah seperti ditetapkan Allah dan hanya Yahudi je yang takde negeri. Bangsa Cina plak antara bangsa yg ske migrasi sbb tu dorang ramai je dkat negara2 laen. Dorang migrasi demi nak baiki kehidupan dorang banding negara asal yang sering ditindas.

Hindu hanya pada abad ke-10 M, masa kena jajah ngan keling Chulan, tengok aliran apa... Awalnya dah menganuti ajaran Buddha-Brahman bermula pada abad ke-5 M dan bertukar2 sami Buddha dah pong dengan Si Lanka. Zaman dolu, orang x panggil agama sembah dewa2 tu Hindu, orang panggil Brahman saja... Sembahan kat dewa Brahma, dewa yang Mencipta popolar... Lani, x popolar dah sembahan dewa tu kat India sana, tapi ada jah lagi kat Siam n kat negeri2 yang ada penutur bahasa Siam (basa Tai-Lao campor bM purbo), p tengok kat Wat Phikunnyai di Kelantan sana, ada patung Brahma sebijik depan Wat Siam tu. Siam tu bukan bangsa lama, cuma nama empayar jah.... Ada jugak orang Melayu dalam tu n kerajaan2 Melayu lama yang kena serap masuk dalam empayar tu, macam Suvarnabhumi, Langkasuka, n Tamraling....
Parameswara mmg beragama Hindu tetapi bukan bermakna dia org India. Mmg diketahui Hindu mmg bertapak lebih awal dr Islam terutama di Indonesia. Tidak ada peliknya.
Kalau baca sejarah melayu, tidak ada disebut Parameswara masuk Islam. Nama pun Parameswara - Param, Eswara (Iswara) - jelas menunjukkan satu nama Hindu. Kalau melayu dulu beragama Hindu atau Buddha, apa pulak nak heran. Org Arab Jahilliyah dulu pun sembah berhala dan api.
Tapi aku yakin bahawa mereka ni tetap bangsa melayu. Kalau tidak, aku tak nampak pulak ada tanda2 raja melayu skrg yg berupa mamak spt Aziz Rempit
