Talk:Overseas Malays

[Untitled]
Does this article refer to the Malay race or the Malays (ethnic group). Please clarify. (Caniago 03:33, 31 January 2007 (UTC))
 * This article is referred to Malays (ethnic group). --Fantastic4boy 05:17, 5 February 2007 (UTC)


 * The article are lack of source and reference. It more like a pointless topic with untruth of the number of overseas malays.


 * "This article is referred to Malays (ethnic group)." The problem with that is that the Cocos Malays and Cape Malays are within the broader super-ethnic or racial grouping. Saimdusan Talk|Contribs 05:26, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
 * The Cocos Malays are ethnic Malays, aren't they? --120.146.159.239 (talk) 16:30, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
 * I agree with Caniago - the contents of the article suggest Malay is loosely defined - the stats shown are not specifically regarding the Malays (ethnic group) as the Javanese, for example, clearly don't belong in that. The Javanese would however fall into the concept of a Malay race. I've broadened the stated scope of the article to include all - please change this if appropriate to a more refined definition, but use reliable sources and no contradictions (ie, don't tell us that Cape Malays are "ethnic Malays" from Java). --Merbabu (talk) 01:54, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
