History of Satun
Satun is one of the four provinces of Thailand which have a Muslim majority: 67.8% are Muslim and 31.9% are Buddhists. Most of the Muslims have some ethnic-Malay ancestry, though only 9.9% of the population claims to be ethnically Malay. The Malay dialect used in Satun is distinctly different from Pattani Malay and is much closer to the Kedah dialect of Malay, with a significant admixture of Thai influences.
Since Satun had belonged to the Kedah Sultanate, which had a strong relationship with both Ayutthaya and Siam under the Chakri dynasty, its Malay Muslims commonly intermarry with Thai Buddhists without serious religious hesitation. This custom has created a distinct social group known as Samsam, meaning a mixed person. Most Samsams, if not all, are Muslims.
Unlike the other Muslim majority provinces in Thailand, Satun does not have a history of political confrontation with the central power in Bangkok or of tension with the Buddhist population which makes up the majority of Thailand as a country. Malay Muslims in Satun are substantially assimilated and rarely sympathise with separatism from Thailand, in contrast to the Malay Muslims in Pattani, Narathiwat and Yala.

Pattani / Patani Darul Makrif / Patani Darussalam
Pattani
Pattani = Patani (in Malay) or Pattani (derived from Jawi: ڤتنا) is pantai ini or pata ni (Klate) and means 'this beach'. Pattani province was previously the centre of the Malay Sultanate of Patani Darul Makrif that paid tribute to the Siamese kingdoms of Sukhothai and Ayutthaya. The Malay Muslims make up 88% of the population of Pattani and they speak the Patani Malay language which is similar to the Kelantan accent (loghat Kelantan or Klate).
Patani Raya, or "Greater Patani" is a term that has been used to describe a region comprising the southern Thai provinces of Pattani, Yala (Jala), Narathiwat (Menara), and parts of Songkhla (Singgora), together with much of the northern part of modern peninsular Malaysia.
Patani is historically similar to sultanates such as Singgora (Songkhla), Ligor (Nakhon Si Thammarat), and Lingga (near Surat Thani).
Patani came under Thai rule briefly during the Sukhothai period, and more extensively during the later Ayutthaya period.
South Thailand Insurgency
Tengku Mahmud Mahyuddin, a prominent Pattani leader and the son of the last Raja of Pattani, allied with the British and launched guerilla attacks against the Japanese during WWII.
In 1945, a petition by Malay leaders led by Tengku Abdul Jalal demanded that Britain guarantee independence for the southernmost provinces of Thailand. At the war's end, the Greater Malay Pattani State (Negara Melayu Patani Raya) flag did fly briefly in Pattani. However, since the British had no power over Thailand, the Thai continued to rule over Pattani, while the British kept Thailand stable as a counterweight to the communist insurgency in Malaya. This led to the formation of several insurgent groups seeking the independence of Pattani.
During World War II, along with the Greater Patani Malay Movement, led by Tengku Mahmud Mahyuddin, another resistance force under the leadership of Islamic scholar Haji Sulong Tokmina also fought against the Japanese. Their stated goal was to create an Islamic republic in Patani, which frequently put it at odds with Prince Tengku Mahmud who wanted to reestablish the Pattanese Sultanate.
Today, the goals and ideas of Haji Sulong Tokmina are still carried on by minor resistance groups interested in creating an Islamic republic. After the war, though, British and Thai policies essentially removed the possibility of an independent republic in Pattani.
Patani separatist groups, most notably the Patani United Liberation Organization (PULO), began to use violent tactics in 2001. There have been suggestions of links between PULO and foreign Islamist groups, such as al-Qaeda and Jemaah Islamiyah. A number of Pattani Muslims are reported to have received training at al-Qaeda centres in Pakistan, and the Pattani insurgents have forged links with groups such as the Moro Islamic Liberation Front in the Philippines and the Free Aceh Movement (GAM) in Indonesia.

TEMD Branding and Souvenirs
Branding
I'm thinking of branding the words 'The Early Malay Doctors' and its anagram (TEMD) and use them for souvenirs. I need designs.
Souvenirs
(anything used by the health industry, schools and universities; must be of good quality)
T-shirts, scarves, labcoats, jumpsuits, rompers, diapers, bath & face towels, soaps, disinfectants, toothpaste & toothbrushes, mouth gargles, handsoaps, shampoos, goggles, sunglasses, tote bags, rugs, bedroom slippers, bath robes, overcoats, sweaters, wind breakers, masks, cups, mugs, trays, flasks, measuring cups, measuring spoons, fork & spoon, non-leach tupperwares, books, keychains, cakes, dust-free sejadah, throw cushions, babies gift sets, cloth napkins, pillows, pillow cases, bedsheets, bedspreads, letter opener, letter holders, letter boxes, pens, pencils, wall frames, handphones, slippers, umbrellas, raincoats, paperweights, magnets, notebooks/diaries, pendrives, movies, documentaries, cardbox boxes, gift wrappers, ribbons, get-well-soon bouquets & cards, files, barbells, dumbbells, sports shoes, jogging shoes, etc. Who is interested? I need designs.
I already made wooden keychains and gave them free during my Professorial Talk (Syarahan Umum) on 17 June 2010. Schoolkids loved the painted wooden keychains. Even our hospital staff liked the designs. These wooden keychains were prepared by Rohani Omar@ Mohd Yusof of Physiology.

Wooden keychains
I have completed my blog today
I have completed my task of researching and writing about the early Malay doctors during British Malaya last night. I started writing and made web pages since November 2002. Then I switched and made this blog. It is Monday, 24 January 2011, 1:27 AM on my laptop. That's a long time to write. I hope you will find useful stuff in this blog and will wait for the book which will contain the biographies of these doctors. I may not be able to include all biographies for obvious reason (incomplete). I really hope now that you know the doctors by name, you can help me by posting to me any new development or information not mentioned here. I will add them here.
In the meantime, the manuscript will go to the proof-readers.
TQ everyone for helping.
