Islam Came to South East Asia From China:Evidence from Traditional Chinese Roof Design in Kampung Laut's Old Mosque, Malaysia
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The objective of this study is to analyse influences of traditional Chinese roof construction elements to the roof design of Kampung Laut’s Old Mosque in Malaysia. The result of this study can be used as an evidence that Islam came to South East Asia (the Malay Archipelagos) from East (China) in contrast to the most arguments claimed that Islam came from West (India and Arabian region). This study conducts roof construction analysis on Kampung Laut’s Old Mosque (KLOM), which is the oldest mosque in Malaysia. There are several historical studies already shows evidences to support this argument. This argument however will be supported through architectural study. The study on the roof design elements are made in the literature study. The analysis finds that KLOM has principle roof construction elements influenced by Chinese architecture but if compared to its details on construction elements, this analysis finds that there are differences between KLOM and the traditional Chinese buildings. Keywords: Roof design; Chinese; Malay; Kampung Laut’s Old Mosque; ConstructionResume: L'objectif de cette etude est d'analyser les influences des elements de la construction de toit traditional chinois sur la conception du toit de la vieille mosquee de Kampung Laut en Malaisie. Le resultat de cette etude peuvent etre utilise comme une preuve que l'islam est venu en Asie du sud-est (les archipels malais) de l'Est (la Chine) contrairement a la plupart des arguments affirmant que l'Islam est venu de l'Ouest (l'Inde et la region arabe). Cette etude procede a une analyse de la construction de toit de la vieille mosquee de Kampung Laut (VMKL), qui est la plus ancienne mosquee de la Malaisie. Il existe plusieurs etudes historiques qui ont deja montre des preuves en tant que l'appui de cet argument. Cet argument, toutefois, sera soutenu par l'etude architecturale. L'etude sur les elements de la conception de toit est faite dans l'etude litteraire. L'analyse conclut que les elements principaux de la construction de toit de VMKL sont influences par l'architecture chinoise, mais si on compare les details des elements de construction, on peut trouver qu'il existe des differences entre VMKL et les bâtiments traditionnels chinois.Mots-cles: conception de toit; chinois; malais; vieille mosquee de Kampung Laut; construction

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
