Does this article refer to the Malay race or the Malays (ethnic group). Please clarify. (Caniago 03:33, 31 January 2007 (UTC))[reply]

This article is referred to Malays (ethnic group). --Fantastic4boy 05:17, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • 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)[reply]
The Cocos Malays are ethnic Malays, aren't they? --120.146.159.239 (talk) 16:30, 25 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
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)[reply]
