The Defence of Ethnic Identity in Malaysia A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in International Relations and Security Studies at The University of Waikato by Melanie Jones-Leaning The University of Waikato 2010 Abstract The changing dynamics of interstate conflict in the post-Cold War environment led scholars to debate the relevance of established security theory. While traditionalists maintained that the state-centric theory should retain its primacy, others argued for a security agenda, not only broadened or widened to include other sectors, but one deepened or extended to include the individual and larger societal groupings as referent objects of security. In the 1990s, the Copenhagen Peace Research Institute developed a reformulated and expanded security agenda which recognized five dimensions of security – political, military, economic, environmental and societal.

  • The Change of Malaysian Standard Time: a Motion and Debate in the Malaysian Parliament
    International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences 2017, Vol. 7, No. 12 ISSN: 2222-6990 The Change of Malaysian Standard Time: A Motion and Debate in the Malaysian Parliament Hamdan Aziz (Ph.D), Syahrin Said, Peter Won Sin On, Hailan Salamun (Ph.D), & Razi Yaakob Department of Nationhood and Civilization Studies, Centre for Fundamental and Liberal Education, Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (UMT) Email: [email protected] DOI: 10.6007/IJARBSS/v7-i12/3725 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.6007/IJARBSS/v7-i12/3725 Abstract This paper attempts to identify the reasons why the (former) Prime Minister of Malaysia, (Tun) Mahathir Mohamed proposed to change the Malaysian Standard Time on the 8 hours ahead based on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) and coordinated with official times for (East Malaysia), namely Sabah and Sarawak effective January 1, 1982. Previously, Peninsular Malaysia was 7 ½ hours ahead while Sabah and Sarawak were 8 hours ahead of GMT. Using analytical textual method, this paper formulated the content of the House of Commons Hansard texts on 21 December 1981 and the House of Lords convened on 18 December 1981. The findings revealed that the ½ hour time difference between the Peninsular and Sabah and Sarawak affected working hours especially in early and ending of time. The approval of the Malaysian Standard Time Act successfully standardized the official communication time between the Peninsular with Sabah and Sarawak as well as establishing integration between the two regions. The time zone of Sabah and Sarawak was chosen as the Standard Malaysia time as it was found to be most appropriate in terms of daylight savings as well as minimal disruption to the everyday life of the people in the country.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by ScholarBank@NUS THE ORIGINS OF THE SOCIALIST REVOLUTION IN SARAWAK (1945-1963) SENG GUO QUAN (B.A. Hons., Cambridge) A THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF SINGAPORE Acknowledgements My intellectual curiosity for this topic grew out of a B.A. dissertation I wrote on the Barisan Sosialis of Singapore with Dr. Tim Harper at the University of Cambridge. Like the previous work, this thesis examines the forgotten and alternative histories of present day Malaysia and Singapore during the tumultuous 1950s and 1960s. I owe this original intellectual debt to Dr. Harper. I am grateful to the National University of Singapore (NUS) History Department for offering me the Masters Research Scholarship (2005-2007). Together with the research and conference grants given by the Faculty of Arts and Social Science, I was given the opportunity to travel widely to collect primary sources and share my scholarship with other scholars during my two-year candidature. Few other academic institutions are prepared to support the research of M.A. candidates to this extent. My teachers at the NUS History Department have contributed to the completion of this thesis in various ways. My deepest gratitude goes to my supervisor, A/P Albert Lau. His well-measured patience allowed me to complete my slow- yielding oral history research plan and his timely reminders and encouragements prodded me to finish this thesis on time. I also need to mention A/P Brian Farrell’s constant presence throughout my candidature as teacher (for my coursework), graduate studies coordinator (approving my research plans and holiday leaves).

  • North Borneo, Known Since 1963 As Sabah, Had Since 1881 Represented the Last of a Dying Species, the Chartered Commercial Company
    COMMUNAL POLITICS IN MALAYSIAN BORNEO C. PAUL BRADLEY University of Michigan, Flint College HE ENTRY of the peoples of British Borneo into an era of mass politics has ~ been swift, almost entirely compressed in the early years of the 1960’s. Cer- tain fortuitous factors intervened to accelerate what originally promised to be a slow-paced process. These were chiefly: (1) the advocacy in May 1961 of an enlarged Federation of Malaysia by the Prime Minister of Malaya, Tunku Abdul Rahman, offering the option of independence by adherence to an established state; (2) the surprising momentum which the Malaysian proposal acquired between 1961-63, partly due to its firm support by British colonial officials in Borneo; and ( 3 ) the availability of existent Malayan political forms, particularly the Alliance concept of communally based political parties joined together in a governing coali- tion, which proved transferable to the similarly multi-racial society in Borneo. The rapid pace of this change was the more noteworthy, since the antecedent colonial tradition had been strongly authoritarian. Until World War II Sarawak had been for over a century the personal preserve of James Brooke, the &dquo;White Rajah,&dquo; and his heirs; North Borneo, known since 1963 as Sabah, had since 1881 represented the last of a dying species, the chartered commercial company. After the war both had become Crown Colonies with a British governor wielding all sig- nificant executive authority. Legislative councils with initially limited powers and restricted electorates were gradually becoming partially popular bodies. Yet within a period of less than three years, a complex multi-party system emerged in both territories, functioning by 1963 with the full accouterments of parliamentary democ- racy.

  • Wee Kheng Chiang of Sarawak: Entrepreneur Extraordinaire
    Malaysian Journal of Chinese Studies, 2012, 1: 18-39 Wee Kheng Chiang of Sarawak: Entrepreneur Extraordinaire LAM Chee Kheung* Abstract This paper is a study of Wee Kheng Chiang, one of the outstanding Chinese entrepreneurs and philanthropists in Sarawak. A first generation local-born Chinese from a humble family, Kheng Chiang rose to preeminence in business and his community. Known for his wealth and entrepreneurship, his success was attributed to his hard work, foresight and alertness to business opportunities both in Sarawak and Singapore. Luck had smiled on him and so had adversity befell him. His shining accomplishments in business allowed him to contribute unselfishly to the good cause of Chinese culture, education and social welfare services to Sarawak society as a whole, thus earning him the title of “Father of Philanthropy”. Unlike many successful entrepreneurs, he was able to chart a smooth transition in passing his various businesses to the next generation before he retired. The wisdom of this decision is well vindicated by the outstanding performance of businesses helmed by his children. Key words: Business personages, Sarawak Chinese, entrepreneurship, and business performance Introduction The life of Wee Kheng Chiang (1890-1978) is a shining example of a rags-to-riches story. He came from an early Sarawak Chinese family whose origins were no different from other families living in humble circumstances. Yet he accomplished much more in life than the vast majority of his fellow men and citizens. The story of his life is best portrayed with the broad sweep of the brush on canvas rather than with a pen on paper.
