Another version is that Sultan fire an arrow into the river and hit a fish. The fish struggle to escape from the arrow which produce silvery colour on the river water hence the name.

I thought its about there is a silver fish in Perak river

Woww.. Tq

Luckily the government is doing a good job with the vaccination program.

its not entirely nonsense, the hospital are full to begin with. Yes, our vaccination program are doing well. Go go Malaysia, it is not the time for negativity. Keep looking ahead.

Yeah, I think History textbook will just choose one etymology rathee than all of them to make it less confusing... and it actually influence a lot people to believe so...

Well explained

about the banana, the actual name for it in Malay is Pisang Nipah (?), but in Bajauan/Sama' languange it's called saging Saba', one of the reason how did this theory came out was because the Bajauan/Sama' is the dominant race in politics (the actual dominant race is Kadazan Dusun, but the Bajauans are the most influential politically)

Are we a state? Sabah I mean..

@@joedarryl2798 Yes we are a state

Need more references on theory on sarawak name. I dont think its "serah pada awak" You can see by the using of word "awak" most local dialect do not used the word in refer to the other person. The local malay which live along the sarawak river would used "kitak" while the iban word is "nuan". So how would the local using a word that not familiar to them.

@@moharinMukriz Sarawak was part of Brunei empire which speak Malay. It doesn't have official name before James Brooke steal the land

@@iamgreat1234 Sarawak has a name before brooke came. Sarawak history begin way before brooke came. The Portuguese call this place cerava.

@@iamgreat1234 I don't think Bruneians use 'awak' too. It's either 'awda' or 'kita/biskita' or 'kau/kawu'. Pandey ngenjen jak.

Sarawak came from the name Sungai Sarawak, which came from the type of ore mined there. Sarawak back then known from the gold and antimony mining. Gold in Malay is "Emas", so it's not it. However, in older Sarawakian Malay, antimony is called "Serewa". Hence, Sarawak.

back in primary school, we're also taught that there's another theory that Sarawak name came from the sentence "Serah Kepada Awak" which means "it's up to you" said by idk either noble of sarawak or high ranking personnel of Brunei to James Brooke

Now that's a mineral I've never heard of

@@IcefPr. i heard a theory similar to yours The name sarawak came from the sentence "serah kepada awak" from the then Sultan of Brunei to James Brooke when the sultan gave james brooke some parts of sarawak as a peace agreement From what i heard its more like "i give you" instead of "its up to you"

@@handonfrogo ooh I thought the sentence was terserah kepada awak 😂 pardon

@@joelconolly5574 it is toxic mineral anyway.

Singapore is our ancestor land, not theirs.

@@mirmir9368 Malays is not origin of this lands ancestory. That’s a dirty political propaganda. Aboriginals name as original people are. Also, Singapore ruled better than Malaysia and its way successful than Malaysia.

@@maxmy2007 no idea what's that about.

@@mirmir9368 Good thing they broke off Malaysia, full of orang melayu and then turned into a prosperous country bcs Chinese running the country.

@@Rajomega1 Could you get your fact straight for at least? It is pretty stupid to say that Malay are not original to this land, and what is your claim for that? Malay has always been a part of the Austronesian family which predominantly reside in South East Asia. You couldn't say that only the aborigines are the original people in this land because even they are considered a proto-Malay. This part of the world has consistently been recognised as Nusantara or, in other words, as Malay's realm since the Austronesian language is much pretty intangible with each other well, at least almost because we are in the same group of family. Not the Indian or Chinese nor European as well. Do you remember? Malay was a lingua franca back then, and the majority of the language is Bahasa Indonesia and Bahasa Melayu. So basically, Singapore was our land even in ancient times before the British stole from us Melayu with a knavish trick. And they were trying to genocide Malays by brought people that are no blood ties to the land. All these people were not even trying to protect the land (Singapore) after the Japanese tried to invade, and at the same time, the British ran to Britain. It was under the Malay regiment who died and spilt blood without questioning the authority because we all know that this is our land. We are the sole protector of these lands. What did the Chinese do? Nothing just ran away. We should not have protected the Chinese from the Japanese in the past if we know it would turn out this way.

confirmed

Johor 👌👌

And then they incorrectly pronounce Wak as Wack jokes aside, yep this is right

wak needs to change to wuck

In our history textbooks in secondary school, I forgot which form, it was mentioned that the territory was named after him.

Real life Amegakure?

KL also had several older names but most were probably forgotten. For example: Taiping was known as Klian Pauh, Kemunting was Klian Baharu and Kuala Sepetang was Port Weld. It is also sad to see many traditional names being replaced by more "modern" ones such as Bangsar South in place of Kerinchi.

Even Negeri Sembilan nowadays comprises of 7 districts only. Klang and northwest Sungai Ujong was seceded to Selangor, south Sungai Ujong was renamed as Seremban, Naning was seceded to Malacca and much of Segamat's territory beyond Gemas was seceded to Johor.

Well explained

Present day negeri sembilan is now consisting of 7 districts and 12 luaks.

@@matdanih yes, indeed.

Actually it’s otherwise. If Anglo-Siamese 1909 treaty didn’t signed, Perlis, Kedah, Hulu Perak (Reman), Kelantan and Terengganu are part of Thai Province.

Ok pendatang😅

Rise up our glorious flag..🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾

Very well said.

Actually, the Luak of Klang consists of what is now Port Dickson district (N9), and Sepang, Kuala Langat and Klang districts (Selangor). Luak of Ulu Pahang consists of Bera district and a small part of southern Bentong district (Pahang) and Jempol district (N9), and the Luak of Segamat consists of Tampin and Jempol districts (N9) and Segamat district (Johor).

Also, Naning was also part of Negeri Sembilan prior to its annexation into Malacca by the Brits.

And yes i never learn about this, thank you soo much for giving the info

I also like how you pronounced Kedah' name origin right, but not the state itself. :P

Penang is pronounced more like pee-nang. Also, R's are pronounced like R, not L.

Kuala Lumpur is only sort of the capital. Putrajaya is where all the country's government resides now.

@@JanSenCheng is there something that happened?

@@moruxuss8313 with regards to the capital? Not really, the government just wanted to move out of the crowded KL city and relocated to one of the suburbs, but never got round to amending the constitution officially changing the capital.

Not official yet.

They're still states. FYI changing them to "wilayah" would technically downgrade them.

Also, I'm from Terengganu, but don't start asking me to speak the local slang. It always seem to happen.

Yo Terengganu kitee

in indonesian its lalat, in javanese its laler

@@wancoet in Malay fly is lalat too. But Malay has many dialects, some dialects called fly as langau

All three are in the same language family, austronesian.

@kepala kentang ah i see, we call the big one in indonesian lalat hijau or laler ijo in javanese, so selangor --> selalat hijor

Lalat is small fly Langau is big size fly and more noisy compared to Lalat. Some dialect called Langau as Langor.

That's cool. In Croatian, it means ''ending'', but it is frequently used as a colloquial term for ''area / district'' (short from the word ''krajolik''). It is an informal name for any type of smaller or larger area. But our counties are called ''županije'', which actually comes from ''parishes'' (župe) from the old days.

@@AlirioAguero2 Technically Polish "kraj" is short for "kraina" meaning land but it's used in a romantic/poetic context with ziemia (which also means planet Earth) being used normally. Yes Ukraine (or Ukraina in Slavic languages), was given that name by the Russians & us Poles meaning borderland because it was the historic border between Poland & Russia. Ukraine or Ukraina has "kraina" in it meaning land so did "u" ever mean border. IDK?

@@modmaker7617 In Croatian, "U" is often used as a prefix for "in". For example - "rasti" means "grow", but with a prefix "urasti", means "grow inside". Or how "trljati" means "to rub", and "utrljati" means "to rub it in". Perhaps "Ukrajina" meant "In the border / area" or something similar?

@@AlirioAguero2 Interesting theory but I heard South Slavic languages like Serbo-Croatian (or I probably should say your dialect Croatian? IDK? Croatian, Serbian, Bosnian & Montenegrin are four dialects of one language Serbo-Croatian but split into four languages for political reasons) have a large disconnect from the East (eg Russian) & West (eg Polish) branches which I read on Wikipedia some suggest East & West should be combined into one North branch because of the similarities.
