  • Chinese Responses to Malay Hegemony in Peninsular
    KyotoKyotoUniversity University Southeast Asian Studies, Vol. 34, No. 3, December 1996 Chinese Responses to Malay Hegemony in Peninsular Malaysia 1957-96 HENG Pek Koon' Owing to their status as an irnmigrant minority community, the political, social ancl economic life of Chinese in Peninsular Malaysia (known as Malaya in the period before 1963) has inevitably been shaped by initiatives emanating from the dominant Malay community. According to the latest census figures released in 1995, Chinese form 29.4% of the population in Peninsular Malaysia compared to 57.4% for Malays and 9,5% fer Indians [Government of Malaysia, Department of Statistics Malaysia 1995: Vol.1, 40]. This paper examine$ the impact oi Malay hegemony, which emerged with independenee in 1957, on Chinese political and economic life. The interplay of Malay ascendance and Chinese responses over the last four decades has undergone three distinct phases: (1) 1957-69 Alliance coalition rule; (2) 1970-90 National Front (Barisan Nasional) coalition rule and implementation of the New Economic Policy (NEP); (3) 1991-present implementation of the National Development Policy (NDP). During the first phase, Chinese experienced meaningful political participation and made significant economic gain$. The second phase saw concentration of power in the United Malays National Organization (UMNO), a eoncerted implementation of Malay affirmative action policies, and a concomitant m'arginalization of Chinese political activity. In the current phase, NDP "Vision policies, shaped by the objectives of Prime Minister Mohamad Mahathir's 2020," have produced a political and economic climate more conducive to Chinese interests. Befere turning to a discussion of Chinese and economic activities in the country, I political "Malayness" would like to first consider the manner in whieh the three core ethnic identifiers of bahasa, agama, 7zlj'a (language, religion and royalty) have been utilized by the Malay political leadership in public policies to reflect Malay hegemonic status in the Malaysian polity.

From the US’ perspective, the emergency in Malaya was a problem that resulted from the communist movement. The core objective of this paper is to explore the United States’ reaction and the reasons for this reaction. Apart from that, this paper will also focus on the United States’ actions following the reaction they had taken, which can be observed through documents such as the Foreign Relations of the United States (FRUS), the Department of State Bulletin, the Pentagon Papers, reports from the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), British documents and memoirs from local and overseas archives. Based on these documents, the reaction towards the Malayan emergency by the United States can be directly and indirectly concluded. The methods used in this paper involved source researching in archives, document analysis, translating files and interpreting resources. The United States’ reaction towards the Malayan emergency is closely related to regional communist threats and conflicts in the Far East. This paper will argue that ideological competition and strategic considerations were seen as reasons or factors that affected the United States’ reaction towards the emergency.
