This is all very confusing if you live in Indonesia and are used to how Indonesians identify ethnic groups.
In Indonesia you would say that Malaysian Prime Minister Najib is a a orang Bugis. At no time would the Indonesians say that he is a orang Melayu or even orang keturunan Melayu because his ancestors hail from Sulawesi, not Riau or a small part of Kalimantan that is home to orang Melayu in Indonesia.
Yet in Malaysia, Najib is head of the United Malays National Organization, or Umno, that is the main coalition partner in Malaysia. The organization champions Malay rights and such interesting concepts such as ketuanan Melayu (Malay superiority).
So please help me out: Is Najib a Bugis or a Malay? Or a Gowan (if such a word exists and its not Scottish for a yellowish flower).

When they are out to receive the " privileges" handout for the so called purpose created " Bumiputera" , all will claim to be melayu overnight.
When they are back in Indonesia, they will be bold enough to identify themselves in their respective ethnic groups....
Of coz there are categories like mamak kerala whom will have to fight hard to state that they are indigeneous in malaysia.....

In Malaysia Bolehland that's irrelevant as long as you are in UMNO and have vast amount of money and power to give a shit as to what others whether you are Malay enough or not.
In Malaysia Bolehland, we have mamaks wearing songkok most of the time to make them look more Malay than they are in case people think he is a mamak (like that Yacob fella) even though he looks like and talks like a mamak.
There cream de cream of all masquerading Malay is, of course, our very own and much "beloved" ex-PM mamakthir from Kerela, India and another ex-PM of Arab & Chinese blood, and not forgetting all those many2 recent migrant Indonesians and Phillipinos, all masquerading as Malays, who are or have been the government of Malaysia Bolehland.
So, what's the big deal with najib if compared to all those very strange and weird looking Malays we have in our Malaysia Bolehland?

YOU ARE HOLDING THE MOST APPROPRIATE MINISTERIAL POST , WITH VAST POWERS EVEN A PM CANNOT VETO !!!
WE ARE HAVING A ORANG BUGIS WHOSE ROOTS ARE DEEPLY ENTRENCHED IN SULUWESI AND WHO SAID HE WAS AT HOME WHEN HE WAS THERE NOT ONCE. TWICE BUT FOUR TIMES, MIND YOU.
CONFISCATE HIS PASSPORT.
DENOUNCE HIM HIS MALAYSIAN CITIZENSHIP.
BEING A BUGIS MEANS HE IS NOT A MELAYU.
BEING NOT A MELAYU MEANS HE IS KAFIR.
BEING KAFIR AND MARRIED TWICE TO TWO DIFFERENT MELAYU WANITAS MEANS HE HAS PUT THOSE TWO LADIES IN A SITUATION THAT INVITES ATTENTION FROM THE RELIGIOUS DEPARTMENT.
HIS CHILDREN WILL NOT BE MALAYSIAN.
GO AFTER HIS SIBLINGS AND THEIR FAMILIES TOO.
THERE------- THE PATH IS CLEARED FOR YOU TO ------ONE DOWN, ONE MOOOOORE TO NIP.
AND FIFAIFO ----- THE PM's POST IS YOURS FOR THE TAKING !!

Yes, I agree. I propose that no one should call any Malaysian as pendatang. When one points his/her forefinger and calls another race a pendatang, there are more fingers pointing at him/herself. I just cannot understand how a Malay can call another Chinese pendatang when their grand fathers (for the Malay and Chinese) were equal "pendatang". I bet that the Muslim religion does not teach such thing! It came from Satan/Devil within the person who calls.

let me help you out, Najis is neither Bugis or Melayu...........he's a criminal.
if I may appropriately add ...................... a racist criminal ( like father like son ) !

he was the direct descendant of Bugis royalty who migrated to Pahang in the 18th century
Now... i don't understand.... his forefathers MIGRATED from Indonesia in the 18th century. We have Chinese Malaysians whose forefathers migrated here well before even Najib's forefathers did. Now how come the one who came later... label the other pendatangs? Who is the actual pendatangs if we insist on such term for our fellow Malaysians?

While we're on the topic of Najib, can he be charged for inhumane behavior? After all, he does have sex with a wild boar.

Najis Rosak itu bukan orang ... kalau orang, bukan orang Melayu atau Bugis, dia orang "Bugger" as he keeps on buggering Malaysia and Malaysians as long as he is the Crime Minister and the Utterly Moronic Nazi Organization is voted in to continue buggering Malaysia. Semua UMNO member pun "Bugger" lah !

Well, at least the person who promoted the use of C4 on a pregnant mongolian is not a true Melayu.
"The organization champions Malay rights and such interesting concepts such as ketuanan Melayu (Malay superiority)."
This is his payback to UMNO to shut them up for not throwing him and his Indonesian collaborator, Curr Toya, out of the country as pendatangs.
$o $emua-nya OK for keeping quiet when the Indons are burning our flags and accusing us of "stealing their culture." Looks like we stole their crooks as well. Ra$uah $ayang eh!
