Description
When violence in southern Thailand resumed in late 2001, and escalated dramatically in 2004, no external country was more affected than neighbouring Malaysia. (1) For decades Malaysia has seen developments in Thailand's far south as a national security concern, and has sought to address this by enhanced cooperation with its northern neighbour. However, this has sometimes been complicated by Bangkok's mistreatment of ethnic Malays across the border, with whom the majority of Malaysia's population share a common ethnicity, culture, religion and language. From the time of Langkasuka, around the first century AD, southern Thailand was a player in the politics of the Malayan peninsula. Three of today's southern provinces--Pattani, Yala and Narathiwat--and four districts in Songkhla, became known as Patani or Patani Raya (Greater Patani) around the fifteenth century. Patani was a regional trading power, one of the leading centres of Islam in Southeast Asia, with close ties to sultanates in Kelantan and Terengganu. From about the fifteenth century the northern Malayan peninsula increasingly came under the influence of powerful Siamese kingdoms in Ayuthia and Bangkok. Siamese forces crushed Patani in 1786 and, despite several rebellions in subsequent years, began to assert strong influence over local affairs. Under the Anglo-Siamese Treaty of 1909, Thailand ceded neighbouring Kedah, Perlis, Kelantan and Terengganu to British Malaya, but retained the areas incorporating Patani and the province of Satun.
