THE CHINESE IN PENINSULAR MALAYSIA: A STUDY OF RACE RELATIONS IN A PLURAL SOCIETY BY TING CHEW PEH A Thesis Submitted in Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Sociology University of Warwick COVENTRY June, 1976 SYNOPSIS The present study is concerned with the problems of race relations in Peninsular Malaysia, with special reference to the Chinese community. My main thesis is that Chinese institutions and organizations, together with their values, economic and political activities tend to make interaction and integration difficult in the conflict-prone Malaysian plural society. However, despite the tremendous amount of dissensus and conflict, the society has managed to survive through the fact that the various component segments are bound together not only by political institutions, but also by their being involved in the same economic institutions. The study beg',s with an Introduction, which examines the main structural features of the Malayan society during the colonial period to 3erve as a background for discussion. Chapter 1 deals with the overall stratification and structure of the Chinese community. Particular attention is paid to Chinese guilds and associations which tend to perpetuate social distinctions between Chinese and Malays.

  • THE NEW ECONOMIC POLICY and the UNITED MALAYS NATIONAL ORGANIZATION —With Special Reference to the Restructuring of Malaysian Society—
    The Developing Economies, XXXV-3 (September 1997): 209–39 THE NEW ECONOMIC POLICY AND THE UNITED MALAYS NATIONAL ORGANIZATION —With Special Reference to the Restructuring of Malaysian Society— TAKASHI TORII INTRODUCTION N 1990, Malaysia duly completed its twenty-year New Economic Policy (NEP) which was launched in 1971. Though the NEP has been described as I an “economic” policy, its contents and implementation processes show that it went far beyond the scope of economic policy packages. In fact, policies in such noneconomic areas as education, language, culture, and religion have been formu- lated and implemented in close relationships with it. Consequently, the NEP has exerted major influences not only on Malaysia’s economy but on Malaysian society as a whole. From the point of view of the NEP’s stated objective, namely, “ to lift up the economic and social status of Malays,” the NEP has achieved signal successes, such as the creation of a Malay middle class and Malay entrepreneurs, most notably the new Malay business groups.1 A number of both positive and negative evaluations have been made about the NEP, which has had such a major impact on Malaysian society.2 These studies generally identify two basic characteristics of the NEP. –––––––––––––––––––––––––– This paper is part of the fruits of the research and investigation I conducted in Malaysia in 1991–93 as a visiting research fellow at the National University of Malaysia (Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia— UKM). I wish to express my gratitude to the Institute of Developing Economies for sending me out as its research fellow, the National University of Malaysia for accepting and helping me, and the UMNO Research Bureau and the New Straits Times Research Centre for giving me the opportunity to use their valuable archives.
