| Summary: | There is few writings on the activities and role of Bugis traders and their
skills and their significance in the Malay waters, despite the fact that their role
in the Malay World has been noted by European travelers. This shortage of
literature on Bugis traders is due to the limited historical sources of local
literature on the subject. Most of the local sources were based on the reports
made by European travelers and the record entries of ships in the ports of
Melaka and Penang. These problems must not underestimate the significant
contribution by the Bugis traders. This should be construed as a challenge to
historians to embark on further historical research on the Bugis traders. This
article will attempt to evaluate and analyse the important role of Bugis
traders in Southeast Asia based on archival materials and travelogues. The
article will also analyse the concept of self preservation among the Bugis in
relation to their cultural heritage |
