The article is published as is. I hope for more interesting chapters from Mr. Anonymous Malaysian Jew. I have a feeling that he is preserving an abandoned chapter of the Jewish nation in the Diaspora. I’m glad to provide my web blog to be the proper arena for that purpose.
It might be an issue for arguments, but we cannot ignore what that person feels and what he passed along his life. It is absolutely a personal perspective that is shared with the readers.
Dear Hanan
I wrote one just now, here as it is...it is very painful...ps put this up.....I am going to speak to HaShem now. I am going to the woods....
Shalom.

A Jew by birth, a Jew by choice, and an errant Jew. So what are the libel chronic acceptable standards attached with these labels? These libel- labels are questions that are frequently posed by the society, over the very existence of the Jews. Most of the time these questions are question of the self- esteem of a Jew. At times it boosts our confidence, toward achieving inner-strength but most of the time it is a suppression of our Jewish existence. There are other labels attached to our necks, such as a Zionist Jew, Religious Jew, Haredi Jew, Secular Jew, Rebellious Jew, Useless Jew, Plain Hebrew, Wandering Jew, Lost Jew, Black Jew, White Jew and many other name callings. The labels enter as an addition to the vocabulary that fills the hotchpots of terms throughout the ages. It has been a horror to PEACE and also a horror to freedom and existence of every Jew.
Where did the term Jew came from? Who created the term Jew? I now of the Southern kingdom Judah, the, people of Judah, The Province of Judea (created by the Romans by political and social engineering to gain autonomy over the People of Judah (Judea). This is all old history for some and even a non- issues as time has passed and no longer of relevance. But in the Jewish believe system these are diabolism perpetrated over the ages. The Anti-Semitism by label - libels goes on to this date.
So where is Peace in this entire name calling? Must Peace precede understanding or is it Friendship should precede Peace. Is there a place for Jews like me to speak up? The “Ynet” gave me the space to speak to voice my opinion. Singapore opened the doors for me. Where is the wisdom of brotherhood in humanity for Jews like me? Media manipulation and political talk by statesman has always used these libel and name calling against the Jewish People in Israel and in the Diaspora. I was born in Malaysia and grew up there. I read Malaysian History, I say how histories footing took precedent over the policy and nation building in Malaysia. I read the Federal Constitution of Malaysia, which was good in theory, but very much far from the actual constitution of the country. It was all a necessary formula for Malaysia. The constitution protected a favorable and selected group of Malaysian. The question is what the position of Jews in Malaysia was. Well, Jews were displaced and forgotten. Jews like me who grow up thinking, we are Malaysian, at our early age were too young to understand the vicious culpable formula of the constitution in practice. It was the same formula of the Nazi, forming over the years from one leader ship to another. The First The Bapa Malaysia, the second Tun Razak, the Third Onn bin Jafar, the best Tun Dr, Mahathir , next came PaK Lah, and now Mr. Najib Tun Razak.
So what was happening to the Jews of Malaysia during these various eras of Leadership in Malaysia? It is a common information that Jew were said to have settled in Penang Malaysia. Malaysian Jews are just a TERMINOLOGY used to describe that Jews did once upon a time lived there ONLY IN PENANG. It also refers to the understanding that such term refers to Jews who originally form Penang and Penang EXCLUSIVELY. And this is followed by another misconceived idea that Jews were also found elsewhere in Kuala Lumpur and Melaka. Everyone forgot about the Jews in Seremban, Negeri Sembilan, and the Old Market Street. The business place along the Old Jalan Paul (which was the name Jalan Paul was abolished by the State Town and Planning Unit and the Menteri Besar office of Negeri Sembilan). In Seremban, there were not only jews of oriental origin ( Baghdadi), but there were Kaifeng Jews too( Chinese Jews ) .The Kaifeng Jews were living along the mountain areas of Rahang Seremban, one of the famous house of the Jews were the House of Eliahu. This house of Eliahu was not the 9th century history of the Jews; or it was not related to the Bujang Valley, it is not about the 18 century Arabic- Jewish bazaars of Melaka, please. The British entre port brought in by trading activities. It is in that era of the 19 century families like Sassoons, Meyers lived. The Ottoman Oppression in Baghdad between 1817 and 1831 brought in the Armenian Jews. There were also Turkish Jews or the Istanbul Jews. I am not going to talk about the great names like Ezekiel, Aaron, and Manasseh. I am not going talk about the evacuated Jewish families to Singapore in during the Japanese Occupation. I am not going talk about Jews of Malaysia that had immigrated to Singapore, Australia, Israel, Latin America, Turkey, Belgium, South Africa- the Cape. I am not going to talk about the Jalan Nagore. I am not going to talk about the long renamed and forgotten Yahudi Road with the new name Jlaan Zainal Abidin. I am not going to talk about the old Jewish cemetery. Of course nobody would remember the Mrs. Shoshanna Levi and the House of Eliahu of Seremban. Nobody remembers the Cohens; we been calling for these names but none come out. We been calling for Eliahu Hayeem, the Victors, the remnants of The 9th Jat Regiment of the British Indian Army just before Eliahu arrived after the Japanese occupation through the very old road travelled by Mr. Lee Kwan Yew. In His book the memoirs of Lee Kwan Yew, the only brilliant Mr. Lee, alluded; only Jews like me could understand because I look at evidence, as I was taught by Prof Jeffery Pinsler and Prof Chin of University of Singapore. So we have evidence starring at us from every angle in the Memoirs of my Mr. Lee Kwan Yew about the road travelled by named and renowned Jews .I stop here now as I am feeling sad and emotional already.
Hanan, I stop here, I am in pain already.
