This culture must be contained and this could be done through education, the Prime Minister said yesterday.

He said the alternative culture should also take into consideration society's interests over the indi• vidual's.

Dr Mahathir added that the country did not want to produce people without values as when they gained knowledge, they could turn out to be "edu• cated criminals." "With the increasing rate of white-collar crime, we must instil good values through education. "No matter how progressive a society is, it may not be able to sustain itself if such values are not part of education," he said.

  • THE RISE and FALL of DR LING LIONG SIK (Bernama 23/05/2003)
    23 MAY 2003 Ling-Politics THE RISE AND FALL OF DR LING LIONG SIK By: Alan Ting KUALA LUMPUR, (Bernama) - He was not seen as a likely presidential candidate of the MCA during the infamous clash between Datuk Dr Neo Yee Pan and Datuk Tan Koon Swan in the 1980s. Having thrown his weight behind Koon Swan, he was like any other "generals" in the bitter party tussle, till a twist of fate propelled him to the helm of the oldest and biggest Chinese party, a job he held for almost 17 years. That twist of fate came on Sept 3, 1986 when he, as the deputy president, was appointed to the top post, replacing Koon Swan who had to resign after being sentenced to a two-year jail and a fine of S$500,000 for criminal breach of trust in Singapore. Born on Sept 18, 1943, Dr Ling had his early education at the King Edward VII School in Taiping before joining the prestigious Royal Military College (RMC) in Sungai Besi. From the RMC, Dr Ling studied medicine at the University of Singapore in 1961 and by 1966, he served as a doctor at Penang General Hospital before opting for private practice in Butterworth in 1975. The medical doctor, with a dead-pan face and gravel voice, launched his political career in 1968 when he joined the MCA and worked his way up to become a Central Committee member in 1974. EARLY YEARS In the same year, he was picked to stand in the Mata Kuching (now called Bagan) parliamentary constituency on an MCA ticket and won, retaining the seat for two subsequent terms.

  • 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.

  • Transparency and Authoritarian Rule in Southeast Asia
    TRANSPARENCY AND AUTHORITARIAN RULE IN SOUTHEAST ASIA The 1997–98 Asian economic crisis raised serious questions for the remaining authoritarian regimes in Southeast Asia, not least the hitherto outstanding economic success stories of Singapore and Malaysia. Could leaders presiding over economies so heavily dependent on international capital investment ignore the new mantra among multilateral financial institutions about the virtues of ‘transparency’? Was it really a universal functional requirement for economic recovery and advancement? Wasn’t the free flow of ideas and information an anathema to authoritarian rule? In Transparency and Authoritarian Rule in Southeast Asia Garry Rodan rejects the notion that the economic crisis was further evidence that ulti- mately capitalism can only develop within liberal social and political insti- tutions, and that new technology necessarily undermines authoritarian control. Instead, he argues that in Singapore and Malaysia external pres- sures for transparency reform were, and are, in many respects, being met without serious compromise to authoritarian rule or the sanctioning of media freedom. This book analyses the different content, sources and significance of varying pressures for transparency reform, ranging from corporate dis- closures to media liberalisation. It will be of equal interest to media analysts and readers keen to understand the implications of good governance debates and reforms for democratisation. For Asianists this book offers sharp insights into the process of change – political, social and economic – since the Asian crisis.

  • Transcript of Prime Minister's Interview with Members Of
    1 TRANSCRIPT OF PRIME MINISTER'S INTERVIEW WITH MEMBERS OF THE CHINESE PRESS IN HOKKIEN RECORDED AT TV SINGAPURA STUDIOS ON 13TH SEPTEMBER, 1965. (TRANSLATION) Reporter: Mr. Lee, what is your opinion regarding recent developments in the situation in Sabah and Sarawak? Prime Minister: First, I must state clearly that this is not our problem, but the problem of a foreign country. Government leaders of Malaysia have always said that the people of Singapore should not interfere with their affairs. So I can only make a general analysis here, because the development of the situation there will inevitably have an influence on our position. A few days ago, I had talks with a few leaders of Sabah and Sarawak; they wanted to pay me a courtesy call when they passed through Singapore. I could not refuse to meet them. It would have been very rude to refuse, therefore, I met them. lky\1965\lky0913.doc 2 I think they must have a "Malaysian Malaysia". If there is not, the consequences will be very serious. Geographically, Sabah and Sarawak are unlike the States of Kedah and Kelantan. They are wide areas. The area of Sabah is almost as large as that of the Malay Peninsula; so too, Sarawak. All should live peacefully and tolerate each other. There should be no such thing as "one race, one language. one culture" It is unwise to say such things. Reporter: Mr. Prime Minister, what do you think of the fate of the few million "Malaysians"? Prime Minister: This will depend on whether they were forced to leave Malaysia.

Ph.D. August 2004. Telecommunications Managing the Content of Malaysian Television Drama: Producers, Gatekeepers and the Barisan Nasional Government (303 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Drew McDaniel Abstract: The purpose of this dissertation is to describe and analyze how drama television content is managed in Malaysia. By looking at the production process of local drama television programming, this study examines the interactions among the three major players – the Barisan Nasional regime, the major television networks and independent producers – who are responsible for shaping its content. Three research methods are used for this study: in-depth interviewing, the informal conversational interview and documentary research. Between June 2001 and November 2002, 32 interviewees participated in this research. The research finds that the Malaysian drama television producer’s ability to generate program content is constrained by the Barisan Nasional regime. Three observations are made to outline the power relationship between the government and the television industry. First, the government often encourages television producers to make drama programs with the theme of friendship and goodwill (muhibah) among different ethnic communities in order to nurture racial harmony.
