Résumé:Early twentieth-century Malaya witnessed the emergence of Islamicreformist movement. Inspired by ‘Abduh, Malay reformists, epitomized byTahir Jalaluddin and Ahmad al-Hady, discontented with the socio-economic andpolitical conditions of the Malays, criticised the Malay ruling elites and calledfor reform of their society.
