were british protectorates 24 the growth of the printing industry in early 20th century malaysia saw the development of a wide range of jawi literature the primary topics of jawi books were religious and political from the 1940s to the 1960s erotica picisan began to be printed in jawi although many authors later switched to rumi 25 a 1954 meeting of the kongres bahasa ms saw rumi officially adopted as a malay script alongside jawi in the federation of malaya and government policy over the next few decades favoured rumi in education resulting in jawi literacy becoming less common jawi was removed from the national curriculum in the mid 1980s 26 as the public educational system stopped producing jawi texts jawi literature printed by private companies became dominant most privately produced jawi textbooks were targeted at islamic schools and their contents were more conservative than in the former public school textbooks this shift in usage led to jawi becoming closely associated with islam and malay identity with rumi replacing its use for non religious purposes over time the use of jawi in malaysia became a sensitive issue some view attempts to promote jawi as islamisation or malay chauvinism conversely some view jawi as a religious script that should not be used by non muslims 26 jawi today edit street name signs in shah alam malaysia include both jawi and

the teaching of jawi at the most basic level in ethnic chinese and tamil vernacular schools attracted opposition from ethnic chinese and indian education groups which claimed that the move would lead to an islamization of the malaysian education system 30 31 32 the chinese educationist group dong jiao zong organised a conference calling on the malaysian government to rescind its decision in late december 2019 perhaps fearing violence the royal malaysia police obtained a court injunction against it on the grounds it would trigger ethnic tensions 33 34 the state government of kedah in malaysia has long defended the use of jawi in the state 35 36 37 the menteri besar of kedah has denied the allegation that the state government was trying to create an islamic state ambience by promoting the use of jawi in 2008 saying that it is a normal occurrence evidenced by chinese coffeeshops and pawnshops having signboards written in jawi 35 this can further be seen later on when the kedah state government has shown its support with johor state government s move to use jawi in official matters in 2019 37 the exco of local authority of the state of kedah had also stated that the jawi script in billboards in kedah is not forbidden but rather recommended 36 he claims that the recommendation to use jawi script has been gazetted in the state law and that it has been part of the state identity

scripts from 1 january 2020 after being delayed a few times 40 premises that fail to comply with this order will be fined up to a maximum of rm250 with the possibility of revocation of their business

status in native malay areas such as riau riau archipelago jambi south sumatra i e palembang malay language aceh and kalimantan i e banjar language 44 45 this is due to the fact that regional and

and jawi for malay regions 44 jawi script is widely used in riau and riau island province where road signs and government building signs are written in this script 46 a sister variant called pegon is
