>Earlier you claimed 'originally settled by Malays' now you're saying Malays inter-married with the actual indigenous population.

I said what you have quoted of me previously:

"The people who originally settled in the Malay Archipelago several thousands years ago were successful maritime explorers."

>you started talking about 'land grab by Chinese immigrants in Singapore' which is unrelated to the claims you originally made.

Please check your own comments regarding land grab (see below), that's why I asked you about that, I didn't mentioned about land grab earlier but you did. But since you have mentioned it yourself in the comments that's why I asked your opinion because we are in Singapore OP topic. If you do not want to answer the question that's fine with me, however personally I think it's very much relevant to the topic at hand.

>>I hope this information will help you and others correct your misunderstanding and stop spreading such disingenous claims intended to enable land grab by settlers.

You are again attempting to claim that 'Malays' or perhaps you're trying to imply 'Austronesians' are the first people to populate Phillipines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Papua. I think it isn't possible to have a useful conversation if you are repeating that falsehood. That's the exact equivalent of claiming 'the people who who originally settled the Americas were succesful maritime explorers' in an attempt to convince everyone that Europeans and Native Americans are now the same thing.

I have to remind you again since you refuse to acknowledge the issue. What is happening in West Papua is horrific. It is what 'Malays'/Austronesians have done repeatedly (to different extents) throughout South East Asia and Oceania and the world has let it happen because Melanesian lives don't even make the front page when one of us got skinned alive by 'Malay' settlers.

I'm not sure what happened in West Papua but need to check that out, but what happened in Champa to Cham Malay people is even worst, they totally lost their country they resided for thousands of years to the north Vietnamese people, and being displaced to other countries like Malaysia, Cambodia, Thailand, etc while only very small minority still in Vietnam.

IMHO, it's quite easy to settle this deadlock, get the original people of Hawaii Polynesia and Palau Micronesia for examples, to be properly tested on genetic ancestorial tracing to check whether they are partly decendent of the Perak Man community who originally settled in Malay Archipelago. As I've mentioned to you it's most probably inter-married but until then we can only guess.

> I'm not sure what happened in West Papua

  “In 1969, in an event referred to by Indonesia as the ‘Act of Free Choice’ (Perpera), 1,022 delegates appointed by the Indonesian government to represent all the people of Irian Jaya "voted' to become formally part of the Indonesian Republic”

Here "Free Choice" equates to under threat of death and torture to individuals and their family members. What followed was a UN sanctioned brutal boot on neck resource grab by the Javanese on behalf of western resource companies.
