Suggestion to change the name "Malaysia" to "SaDvSa".


https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Chersonese

Refer to the attached, I would like to suggest the name Malaysia (Federation of Malaysia) to be changed into SaDvSa, following the current effort in ratifying Constitution according to Malaysia Agreement 1963. 

The name SaDvSa is derived from combination of Sabah, Dvipa and Sarawak. The position of Sabah and Sarawak is interchangeable since both come with same syllable "Sa". This is also to stress that the three partner in the federation is equal because Dvipa could be in front or rear of both Sabah and Sarawak.
Dvipa in this context means Malaya or previously known as Survanadvipa because Malaya was known for its gold and silver mining. 

The reason to revert Malaya's name to its original name, Survanadvipa or golden chersonese is to be more accurately depict the country's topography as both Malaya and Survanadvipa we're derived from a toponym. Malaya means mountainous land (Malay is a Sanskrit word for mountain or mountainous whereas "a" means land). The same for Malaysia where "a" is a latin-greek language for land, thus Malaysia means the land of Malay. 

The reason why it should be changed is that an Austronesian sub-ethnic also adopted the Sanskrit word Malay since a German physician called Johann Friedrich Bluemenbach labeled the Austronesian race within the Malay archipelago as Malayo, which also coincide with the meaning of Chinese history record Malay race as people of Kulun, the people of hinterland. Therefore the word malay is not suitable to refer to the country because:

1. Malay means Mountainous in Sanskrit which denote undeveloped state and give a poor impression. 

2. Malay also synonymous with the Malay race which undoubtedly a major population of the land but this country is not only built by the single race. There's racist policy called NEP ruling since 1971 until now which openly violating constitution law article 8. Malay race also being obfuscated for a race that must profess in Islam under artice 160 in order to enjoy special privileges under article 153, regardless of phenotype. This is clandestinely islamize the country and thus compromised the secularity of the federation that is detrimental to the independence because it is clear that during the negotiation for independence, the British officer then, Lord Reid explicitly states that Malaya was ruled as a secular state and shall perpetuate the same. Islam was embedded into the Constitution as an official religion shall be innocuous to the freedom of religion of which it later accepted as official religion of the federation but Sabah and Sarawak maintain that the State do not have any official religion. 

3. Dvipa means Peninsula in Sanskrit thus more accurately depict the topography of the country. Since Malay also a Sanskrit word thus Dvipa should not have any issues. In fact, the first civilization that introduced into the land were the hindus which contributed enormously whether in terms of language, writing system, government system, social development, science and technology. 

Naming alone is superficial although it is politically important. Ultimately, the federation should be negotiated again to suit the context without Singapore in the formula. The aim is to make people's life better and all States in the federation shall grow equally and fairly. The exit of Singapore also give openings for other partners in the federation to consider the same. Notwithstanding that treaty of international treaty provide the same avenue for Sabah and Sarawak to seek independence from the federation if the Malaysia Agreement is to be made void. I personally is neutral in this regard, as I am happy with Sabah and Sarawak being part of the federation as it is otherwise. What I hope to see is development in Sabah and Sarawak equal to that of Kuala Lumpur and people live a better life as they should given the natural resources blessed by God.
