All nations have their own historical heritage and artifacts as proof of their glory and achievements. The cultural heritage of the coastal community in the Malay World is one of its highest achievements. The development of boat-making technology and navigation by the stars have been recognized by many local and foreign scholars as contributing to the advancement of humankind. The creation of various types of boats in the Malay World has also attracted the attention of many Western scholars who study these traditional boats. This article attempts to rediscover the precious Malay historical heritage of the East Coast, the Malay traditional boat, by connecting research conducted by Smyth, Gibson-Hill, Masengi and Shibata and that of other renowned scholars who carried out studies by recording information on traditional Malay boats on the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia. However, the recordings made by previous researchers were done at a time when traditional boat findings were few, and these were not in perfect condition. The discovery of only four traditional boat types in seven different locations suggests that the Malay heritage—which was once the glory of the Malays—has been forgotten.

马来传统船：保护马来西亚半岛东海岸吉兰丹的马来遗产

所有国家都有自己的历史遗产和文物，作为他们荣耀和成就的证明。马来世界沿海社区的文化遗产是其最高成就之一。造船技术的发展和星辰导航的发展，被国内外众多学者公认为对人类进步的贡献。马来世界各种类型船只的创造也引起了许多研究这些传统船只的西方学者的关注。本文试图通过连接 Smyth、Gibson-Hill、Masengi 和 Shibata 以及其他著名学者的研究，他们通过记录马来西亚半岛东海岸传统马来船只的信息进行研究。然而，以前研究人员所做的记录是在传统船只发现很少的时候完成的，而且这些记录并不完美。在七个不同地点仅发现了四种传统船型，这表明曾经是马来人荣耀的马来遗产已被遗忘。
