试析马来西亚华巫亲善之事例——以马六甲马接新村为例

Sino-Malay Goodwill Assessed:The Case of Kampung Baru Machap,Melaka

马来西亚是个多元族群的国家,当中不乏华巫亲善的事迹和故事,马六甲马接峇鲁新村之拿督公信仰和清真寺的建盖,即为其中一例。清真寺左旁走廊的华文碑记,志明华人兴建清真寺的缘由,再辅以华巫村民的口述资料,梳理并还原马接新村清真寺的兴建、拿督公信仰,以及双方关系的面貌。这间已逾百年的清真寺,曾经是拿督公祭祀的场地,见证华巫信仰共存的现象,你中有我,我中有你。1980年以后,由于有关方面的干预,不仅拿督公信仰盛况不再,逐渐没落,华巫亲善的情况也一去不返,委实可惜。

In a multiethnic country like Malaysia, stories of Chinese and Malay cordiality is not uncommon. Some of the many examples are the worship of Datuk Kong and the construction of mosque in Machap Baru, Melaka. Inscribed on the stele at the right corridor of the mosque are the reasons of the mosque＇ s construction by the Chinese. Along with the oral data from the local Chinese and Malay villagers, these information are vital for reconstructing the story behind the building of the mosque, the worship of Datuk Kong and the relationship between the two races. The hundred-years mosque was originally a place of worship for Datuk Kong, a testimony of religious coexistence. Howev- er, due to certain intervention, the practice has declined after year 1980. The goodwill between Chinese and Malay was unfortunately disappeared ever since.
