please rectify this, Malaysia was formed by 4 countries which was Singapore,(left the federation) Tanah Melayu, Sarawak & North Borneo @ Sabah at present. Its not 13 states & 2 federal teritories. Please make the necessary correction!!! 2001:E68:6129:4F00:DDC3:8B4D:7320:8A5A (talk) 11:04, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong reference for Malaysia means Land of the Malays?[edit]
Malaysia was formed in 1963 with Malaya and another 3 countries (Singapore, Sabah, Sarawak) that Malay are not majority. it is not logical to have country name carry the meaning of Land of Malays. please check. Siakhooi (talk) 07:09, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Malaysia does mean Land of the Malays - but the "Malay" it is referring to, is an old definition of Malay, not the modern 'Malay' that everyone thinks it is, so it's not a great definition of the etymology.
The word "Malaisie" (french) "Malaysia" (anglicised) was created in 1827 and it was meant to encompass the entire Indian archipelago including the Philippines and the Malay peninsula.
So by "Malay" the creator of the word intended it to indicate what is now known as Western Malayo-Polynesia peoples. (minus southern Vietnam and Madagascar - those areas weren't known to be "Malay" in 1827)
This includes MANY more groups than what the modern definition of "Malay" includes so???
The wording in the article probably needs to change, but it will be a delicate process. MatSallehSesat (talk) 12:57, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I suppose this whole section should be re-written.
"Following the expedition of French navigator Jules Dumont d'Urville to Oceania in 1826, he later proposed the terms of Malaysia, Micronesia and Melanesia to the Société de Géographie in 1831, distinguishing these Pacific cultures and island groups from the existing term Polynesia. Dumont d'Urville described Malaysia as "an area commonly known as the East Indies".
d'Urville used the name Malaysia and gave credit to its origin to René Primevère Lesson, who was on the same ship. The meeting was in 1832 not 1831.
And to make things even more confusing - d'Urville's new definition did not include the peninsula. It was only a name for the islands. But Lesson's definition did include the peninsula, so I would suggest dropping d'Urville from the conversation entirely (even though he made a pretty map) MatSallehSesat (talk) 14:13, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
this part is also weird...
"The state that gained independence from the United Kingdom in 1957 took the name the Federation of Malaya, chosen in preference to other potential names such as Langkasuka, after the historic kingdom located at the upper section of the Malay Peninsula in the first millennium CE. The name Malaysia was adopted in 1963 when the existing states of the Federation of Malaya"
The Alliance political council rejected the name Langkasuka before going to London and changed the new name to Malaysia... Yes! in 1956
But the British didn't allow the name change to happen because it wasn't in the 'terms of reference' and also because MCA preferred to keep the name Malaya.
Seems like an intersting fact that should be included. MatSallehSesat (talk) 14:15, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Roblox (/ˈroʊblɒks/ ROH-bloks) is an online game platform and game creation system developed by Roblox Corporation that allows users to program and play games created by themselves or other users. Created by David Baszucki and Erik Cassel in 2004 and released in 2006, the platform hosts user-created games of multiple genres coded in the programming language Lua. For most of Roblox's history, it was relatively small, both as a platform and as a company. Roblox began to grow rapidly in the second half of the 2010s, and this growth has been accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Roblox is free to play, with in-game purchases available through a virtual currency called Robux. As of August 2020, Roblox had over 164 million monthly active users, including more than half of all American children under 16. Although Roblox has received generally positive reviews from critics, it has faced criticism for its moderation, microtransactions, and allegations of exploitative practices toward children. 2001:D08:D5:C1FF:2984:3C15:4D60:7C72 (talk) 08:12, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
