MALAYS OF YORE AS I SAW IT

Many things can be told about Malays of yore; they were a simple, happy go lucky, down to earth bunch of people, unassuming in their ways & habits, hardly having much ambition to excel in society & quite contended with what they possessed. Often self underrating them as a community of ‘malas’ they were a ‘makan, menum, thandak, tedor’ class who would take pride in busting their pay packets on the very pay day.  Malays had an easy passport to white color jobs because they were the most sought after community following the Burghers due to their exceptional skill of the English language & owing to their zealous loyalty & impeccable honesty they displayed to their masters.

Their dominance in the Armed services, Police, Fire Brigade & Prison department was due to their bravery & martial instinct inherited from their forefathers who had come to our country for this very purpose. Constable Saban was the first Malay to sacrifice his life in the call of duty whilst trying to arrest a legendry outlaw bandit of that time  named Saradial in colonial Ceylon. In the three decade long war that ended recently Malays have played a decisive part in achieving victory over the separatists. From a minority population of nearly 60,000 people at least 40 gallant Malays warriors have laid down their lives for their motherland, a significant proportion when compared to the members of other majority communities who have taken to the security service as their occupation mainly due to economic necessity. Ethnically the Malays became only the second highest number of security servicemen killed in action after the majority Sinhalese. Among the war heroes are many officers who held high ranking posts, meaning that Malays have led from the front. Their outstanding heroism, versatility in military matters found them  placements in sensitive departments in the armed forces like intelligence, logistics etc.

Tuan Branudin Jayah was the only Malay National Hero of Sri Lanka. Dr T B Jayah was the longest served Principal of the Colombo Zahira College who later took to politics & went on to become the Labour Minister of the first Cabinet of Independent Ceylon under Hon D S Senanayake as the Prime Minister. M.D. Kitchilan, MK Saldin, Zahier Lye, M H Amit were other famous Malays who took to politics at the highest level.
Malays had diehard loyalty, unswerving allegiance ; blind respect for anything British. Some Malays who served in the British Army during World War 2 , having suffered minor ailments as a result of war weariness were entitled to a stipend, not actually a pension, which they received till death. They would often claim personal pride of this additional income which would supplement their monthly salary. The Sterling pension would come from U K to the General Treasury which in turn arrived as money order to the local Post Office. They would never scorn or refer with contempt the white man (kulit putih) by any chance, bragging that they still received their bowl of porridge from the HM the Queen even during their ripe age. Like all Malays of yore their knowledge & command of the English language was of par excellence. They were walking dictionaries, repositories of history & store houses of knowledge. Some of the City Malays who attended Colombo’s premier educational institutions would boast of their contemporaries at school who became prime ministers, civil servants and renowned professionals of Ceylon. Their diehard affection for the alma mater never receded at any time of their life & rose to the acme during the annual Big Matches. Ardent lovers of History & Classics, the subjects they offered for Cambridge examinations. Like all men of this generation they would often quote with ease The Bible, Shakespeare & Milton frequently criticized by their children for not citing The Holy Quran & Prophet Muhammad’s traditions with equal fluency. They would struggle to remember the names of the Prophet’s household or the Beautiful names of Allah but would parrot in a jiffy names of the genealogy of British royalty from King George VI downwards. The obvious outcome  & influence from values instilled in every Anglican school run by the British & other foreign invaders before independence. They were so much head over heel in love with the Englishmen that they went on to giving their children English names. There was no dearth of Toms, Bonnys,  Sonnas, Buntys,  Gertys,  Lizas,  Dollys, Johnys, Jeffs among the Malays of yore. They encouraged us to read classics from Charles Dickens, Thomas Hardy & the likes & would take us to see only films mostly of historical value like Tombs of the Pharohs, Ben Hur, Ten Commandments, Oliver Cromwell, Sound of Music etc
They were great believers in education for life’s success and struggled to put children in the right track by educating them at Sri Lanka’s finest schools. They often would plead us to learn harder & was always prepared to invest on education. Unlike their co-religionists the Moors who groomed their children towards the family business very early in life till the advent of TB Jayah who encouraged them to pursue higher education, the Malays generally valued secular & religious education and took special interest in mastering of the King’s English. They simply had no business acumen in their blood or inherited astute trading talents but preferred taking up the uniformed jobs, mercantile services & estate administration.
Malays of yore were very dress conscious. They would love to wear the Malay attire at any given function. Malay weddings would glimmer with effulgence having in attendance smartly clad Tuans in Batik & Sunko with their Beebis in glitzy Baju kurung . Malays would often boast that the word sarong is borrowed from Bahasa Melayu & the entire sarong wearing nation owes the Malays a franchise right. Malays would also look very smart in Western & Indian dresses

As to the religiosity of the Malays of yore they took a moderate stand. They were neither too fanatical nor very un- Islamic. Although steadfastness in 5 times prayers among the full household was apparently not visible & undertaking the annual Haj pilgrimage was a serious priority there remained wholesale & rampant presence of saint worship where vows were made with annual visits to Kataragama, Jilan, and Thursday drop-in to Devatagaha mosque & sometimes ritual observances at places like Ossen Beebi Ziyaram. Many houses had tills to collect funds for the annual Kandiri. Money was dropped into such tills every time they had to undergo an operation, face an interview or examination or undertook an important journey. Yet many Malays believed in superstition & Jinn wasilan (a form of Black magic).Malays of yore often boasted to their Muslim friends that their progenitors were Auliyas (saints).They would jokingly claim to their co-religionist who usually heckled us as irreligious commenting on the looks of our feminine dresses and life style, that Malays had a Bahasa & Auliyas whereas their brothers in faith had neither. The early Malays claimed they were not hypocrites who would smuggle, pick pockets and indulge in crime later to be seen at Masjids with a handkerchief on the head for Salat. They told us that they held extremes like how the adage goes ‘Malays are either in the Heaven or in the Tavern’ meaning whatever they did it was done properly.

Although not in its pristine form religion played a leading role in the Melayu houses by them holding annually Mowloods,  Asurahs  (Nasi kuning) where families with their better halves, dozens  of their children, parents &  grandparents would gather for a Rateeb, Kattam or Fathiya generally followed by partaking of  a scrumptious, sumptuous spread of nasi kebuli , daging masak & goreng,  kaliya, kola-curry,ubi  masak, sukung goreng, achar and finish with firni with pisang emas served in traditional six-a-side sawans ,  They would also be  celebrating other holy days in the calendar like Miraj, Barath, Ramadhan, Hajj,  Lailathul  Qadr (Thujulukur),Odukathupothan etc etc. On days of Eid they would wear their Sunkos & Batik shirts to occupy the front rows of their traditional Malay mosques to perform Eid salat & thereafter solemnly stroll towards the graves of their lost ones to recite a Sura Yasin or two. When evening fell they would beeline their ‘mahagederas’ to offer ‘sumba salam’ to their elders. The young ones like us would be presented with a Rupee coin or two as ‘peranal diwit’ which was most looked forward to be splurged on sweetmeats at tuck shops

Malays of yore took pride of the fact that their families were large. They often claimed with a sense of delight their true masculinity and their better halves’ fertility, saying their family was a rugger team, a cricket team, a netball team & hardly ever had children lesser only to play a game of draughts or carom. The father was the sole breadwinner with no side income or perks to keep the home fires burning. Every child survived to live an average sexagenarian not even being immunized and beating contagious diseases like Malaria.
The Malays of yesteryear were also great sportsmen of their time. Many have represented at various disciplines at school or National levels & others were self made pundits of the game who would carefully scrutinize the sports pages in the dailies spotting Malay ; other names that would appear frequently ; then make smart guesses that so and so would reach the top which often turned true. Malays were honoured to start the oldest Cricket playing club in Ceylon when the rest of the country took pleasure in the pastime of gudu. The Malay CC was initially housed at Rifle Green & then at Padang. Although Malays of yore would not have heard of Duckworth ; Lewis or Twenty-Twenty, their knowledge of the Game of Gentlemen was exceptional. They could picture in their minds a Test match played in a far away continent by simply listening to a ball- by- ball description by famous commentators like Chistopher Martin Jenkins ; Trevor Bailey from a Valve radio producing low quality reception. They knew the names of all great cricketers of the past & every field position from Fine leg, Long leg, silly point, forward short leg (cannot be translated into Malay) and other cricketing terminology like out for a duck, maiden over, night watchman without the aid of the television an electronic equipment they had never seen. At football and rugby the old Malay folks would not miss matches where Malays were scheduled to play. Soccer matches when clubs like Victory. Black Square, Java Lane where Malays took the field were often crowd pullers. Malays who form the main play makers have also represented leading clubs like CR, CH, Havelocks, Kandy SC at rugger.
Most Malays of yore carried with them a superiority complex over the other. We often have heard of the elites and ordinary man- on- street Malay usually distinguished as ‘Bagus’ or ‘baye Melayu’ against ‘busuk’ or ‘borok Melayu’. A Malay of that generation being Socialist or a Communist was unimaginable. They would frequently debate with futility the Malayness in names especially those ending in ‘Din’ over ‘Deen’. Very often the spelling of names would matter. Elders would ask whether your name was spelt with satu, duwa, thiga or empat bola meaning number of ‘O’s in a surname. When a name sounded Arabic, Persian, Urdu or Bengali they would curiously inquire more details of our father’s connections. Sanskrit derivations held sway because of their closeness to the Malay world.
Many Malays loved music a fact that was evident from the numerous singers & leading members of Beat groups. While the Melayu ‘pantuns’ were sang at weddings ,their versatility in attempting English, Sinhala Tamil & Hindi songs with equal gusto was admirable. On a lighter vein they would also on the sly relate rhymes like
 “Seetu Liyat Seeni liyat Acharu mankok, sethu ada Nona pe edong benkok”, 
‘Jasson pe  abang pe sarongka lobang’, 
‘Sitty nona jammin, Bakki dika kincin’ 
to name a few.
Malays of yore often yearned for a re-emergence of the colonial era where the city was peaceful, quiet uncongested & had a perfect cosmopolitan demography ; there was preference and favor easily accessible for their lot. They hated the fact that somewhat formed the colonization that took place in the city through the village folks seeking greener pastures and out numbering the former dwellers in the city among them a good number of Malays. It was a “Banda comes to town” & “He comes from Jaffna” scenario they would joke.

Those great days sadly is now diminishing with Malay culture restricted to a few interested families, many youth assimilating easily to other trends through marriage, emigration, urbanization ; for economic reasons. The true strength of the present Malay folks is dwindling by the day. The only hope is may landmarks like Malay Street, Java Lane, Ja Ela , Jawatte etc remain for ever
Long live SL Malay

TUAN ARIFIN JAYAH MY KAKEY & HIS GENEALOGY

TUAN ARIFIN JAYAH & HIS GENEALOGY
Not much is heard of Tuan Arifin Jayah although most people know that he was the only sibling of the renowned Dr T B Jayah .His father Cassim Jayah was the seventh child of PERMA (Pitche Barisdeen) JAYAH and GNOGNA Ummah BANGSAJAYAH (daughter of Kemmas Arthari ). Cassim ‘s other siblings being Hassim, Osman , Abdue, Sarpa Nona, Raisee Nona & Jain. Arifin Jayah was born to Cassim Jayah & Sithy Maimoona Sourjah (Jayanona). Arifin Jayah married Nona Suliaya Packeer the elder daughter of Osman Packeer & Ayesha Joonus. Osman Packeer happened to be a brother of NEM Packeer a wealthy philanthropist of the time. Arifin Jayah was the shadow behind the success of his brother the famous only Malay National Hero Marhoom L Haj Dr T.B. Jayah easily the greatest Malay Ceylon has ever produced.

Arifin Jayah was a dutiful husband and a doting father. He had seven children 3 boys & 4 girls. They were Zahira (married Hajirin Ahamat), Rasheed (married Maleeha Junoos), Rahila (married Johore Bongso) , Fareena (married Hamim Meedin), Hisham (married Juweetha Morseth), Murad (married Vaseela Salay) & Chintaree (married Thajudeen Azoor). He was employed at Mackinon Mackenzie Co Ltd ,a shipping company as a Manager. He was said to have been a religious person & had been known for haunting all available Muslim libraries of his time. A voracious reader he was therefore well informed. T.A Jayah’s life account is not much documented or even any information preserved for posterity by his seven children who have all passed away to this date. However his son late Murad Jayah had compiled a Family Tree in 1965 which is a valuable document available today which many other families have improved on. His grand children too are trying to trace information about him although little is mentioned about him in the book written by M S Jaldeen about ‘T B Jayah a National hero’

All 7 children were born in the first three decades of 1900. As such they had lived during both the World Wars. The Jayah family had lived in Vauxhall Lane, Saunders Court, Punchi Borella & Maradana and after Arifin’s demise the family moved at 18 Fountain House Lane, Deans Road. Almost every member of the Jayah family had lived at 18 Fountain House Lane which became the family mahagedera where Mrs T A Jayah (nee Sulaiha Packeer) lived till her demise.

Arifin Jayah passed away on King’s Birthday 2nd June 1943.An account of the news of his death is given in T.B Jayah’s diairy as follows
“The shock of brother T.A. passing suddenly was received from Murad Jayah …. We all rushed in Dr Kaleel’s car. I felt it most. My early educational success was entirely due to him. He used to get up in the early hours of the morning and get me to work. It was all the more sad because there was some estrangement between the two families. Arrangements were promptly made according to Muslim requirements & news published through the radio, evening paper, messages & telegrams. It was a largely attended funeral & he found his last resting place at Jawatte” .The entry ends with a sad note “Poor Murad’s examination” because he was then reading for his B.Sc. exam which was to be held about that time.

When closely analyzing the Arifin Jayah family one may observe that down the line they have produced noble folks who firmly upheld the true values to which Arifin stood for. TA Jayah had been an individual who valued, prayed and tireless strived for success in the lives of both worlds( Duniya & Ahkirah) a frequent prayer Muslims are advised to make after every good action. Among Arifin’s progeny there are dozens of learned men & women who have excelled in their selected fields with outstanding academic achievements. Up to six members of the Arifin clan have taken the Oath of Hippocrates while many have pursued engineering, management, teaching, law, accountancy etc. On the consecrated side many are those who are constant in their duty to Allah having shown such signs from their prime a lifestyle otherwise adopted only after retirement, A good number indulge in virtuous acts that please their Lord to a higher degree by spending time in His path, learning His Religion, memorizing His Glorious Book, relegating all activities that seek the Lord’s displeasure & fast tracking on a culture that mimics His beloved prophet. We never saw the Arifin generation indulging in excesses, promiscuity & immoderation

The influence of his brother TB & his personal level of piety & appreciation for knowledge have had a strong impact on his progeny. Unlike his brother who commanded a huge PR being a renowned, outspoken society- man, educationist, politician, statesman & diplomat who advocated his point of view on human rights & liberties at the very highest forum, Arifin in all fairness to this unsung character, a safe conjecture on the traits of this man, it would be harmless to assume TA Jayah to have been an introvert of sorts, an unassuming, down to earth personality, a saintly figure, philosophically confined to libraries dabbling through Islamic literature & learning. Although not armed with doctorates or diplomas he had however excelled in producing off springs that have created a generation filled with god fearing, educated, pious, dutiful, loyal & honest Malay men & women.

Among the first signs of Tuan Arifin Jayah’s leaning to faith was apparent in the naming of his children. Arifin chose to title his children’s names with Mohamed instead of Tuan. His choice of Religion over race is hard to fathom in his first step towards fatherhood. Did he prefer to be more Islamic than display his pure royal Javanese Malayness? He did not even follow the footsteps of his father or his learned brother to name his own children with Mohammed. With his grand children named similarly we continue to see this praiseworthy practice of Arifin running in the family, a clear evidence of hereditary spreading in geometric progression. As to his daughters, Arifin selected to coin the title Gnei to begin their names. Although this Malay title is used besides Nona, Sitty or Beebi there is confusion today whether the initials for Gnei with G silent should begin with ‘G’ or ‘N’ when filling forms in Sinhala.

Arifin’s started his family life in his wife Sulaiya’s hometown Slave Island. This busy town of homes & offices proud of its Malay heritage was the ideal setting for bringing up children Islamically & preserving the Malay identity. No one could call him selves a True Malay unless his life had an attachment or connection to Slave Island. Arifin being a devout Muslim, instead of secular education, had first introduced his male children to the Madarasas in Slave Island (or Kartel in Malay) under the stewardship of Arabic scholars of his time namely Guru Noan Joonus Alim etc He did this in spite of knowing full well the values of secular education from none other than an educationist par excellence, his brother TB. True to ancient Islamic customs & traditions, except for Chintaree who was born last belonged to the post world war era of education & did not see much of Arifin, the girls were confined to basic education at the Bilingual Missionary School in the locality. The sons Rasheed, Hisham & Murad were all admitted to Zahira College, Maradana which was the one & only school to have strict Islamic surroundings, teaching in the English medium & having their uncle TB as Principal. Murad skillfully adapted to an Islamic setup practicing its precepts, excelling brilliantly in studies, helping in the dissemination of Islam through the College Majlis & delving deep into religious history & philosophy, thanks to his early madarasa exposure.

The lives of the children of Afifin after their marriages were simple, honest & united to the core. The seven were a closely knit family inextricably interwoven with humane values & profound sense of responsibility. Each sibling would be there during their ups & downs at the beck & call of the other for better or worse, There would be constant shuttling of siblings from Maradana, Slave Island, Kolannawa & Hunupitiya for their slightest need. This closeness & camaraderie,is dwindling in the third generation downwards. Each sibling together with their in-laws will not leave out the rest in their important functions & a spirit of brotherly attachment always persisted, Religion once again played a leading part in the Jayah houses by them holding annually Mowloods and Asurahs (Nasi kuning) where the seven siblings together with their spouses, twenty six of their children & with Grand dame Sulaiya present gather for a recital usually followed by partaking of a sumptuous Malay spread of nasi kebuli , daging masak & goreng, kaliya, kola curry , sukung goreng, achar and finish with firni with pisang emas ,

Among the Arifin Jayah clan first names we also see those of the 99 Beautiful names of Allah (Asma ul Husna) like Rasheed, Razack, Malik , Shafee, Khaliq; names from the Prophet’s household, his companions & Prophetic personalities like Amina,Fathima, Ayesha, Zainab, Sumaiya, Hamza, Hussain, Omar, Ousman, Taariq, Hisham, Yousuf , Yakoob, Haroon,Sulaiman, Luqman. Imran respectively. This is an obvious influence of the “Arifin the holy” factor running in the Jayah vein.

None of the seven children or the 26 grand children could beat their father/grandfather’s record of producing 7 or more off springs, yet another tenet of Islamic practice where forced family planning is impermissible. The best they could achieve is six. Sadly the third & fourth generation being blessed with many children is despicably more wanting. Otherwise we may see the Jayah genealogy abruptly ending sans male children to perpetuate the Jayah cause.
