I've put a few musings on this topic, and comments by an Indonesian friend, on my scratchpad. -- Singkong2005 03:42, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
Re this claim:
Interesting, but possibly wrong. There is nothing at all that I can find to support this claim, and elsewhere it is claimed that it's fom the Javanese for red (though I don't know what the connection is). Googling the terms finds only this article and mirrors of this article. If anyone knows a source for this claim, please provide it.
Incidentally I haven't heard Indonesians use this word - they usually refer to kejawen, Javanese traditional religion, which I think refers to the same people as abangan -- Singkong2005 08:34, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
I'm looking for a book written by a Singaporean official (most likely a foreign minister who traveled often to Indonesia). That book explains some of the Hindu and Buddhist aspects of the Malay World (in relation to Islamic traditions). -- Komitsuki ( talk) 13:31, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
