Perceptions of Leadership Amongst Ethnic Malay Pupils in Residential Secondary Schools in Peninsular Malaysia in the Context of National Development 4 PERCEPTIONS OF LEADERSHIP AMONGST ETHNIC MALAY PUPILS IN RESIDENTIAL SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN PENINSULAR MALAYSIA IN THE CONTEXT OF NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT. NIK AHMAD HISHAM BIN ISMAIL Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy EDUCATION AND INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTE OF EDUCATION UNIVERSITY OF LONDON 1998 ABSTRACT PERCEPTIONS OF LEADERSHIP AMONGST ETHNIC MALAY PUPILS IN RESIDENTIAL SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN PENINSULAR MALAYSIA, IN THE CONTEXT OF NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT. This thesis examines the perceptions of ethnic Malay pupils in Residential Secondary Schools (RSS) towards leadership in Malaysia. The thesis begins with a discussion on the struggle for leadership in the case of a multi-ethnic society like Malaysia. The thesis examines the circumstances that led to ethnic Malays' struggle for survival' through the policies of education. The thesis acknowledges that the establishment of the RSS was part of the ethnic Malays' struggle for survival' and has since become an important source for ethnic Malay leadership in Malaysia. The research framework has been developed using the concepts of leadership and elitism. In this study, the government has acted as the catalyst for modernising the ethnic Malay community. Thus, the RSS, as a governmental institution, is considered as playing an important role in selecting pupils who are expected to become the future leaders in Malaysia. The major research questions are: (a) what are the perceptions of ethnic Malay pupils towards education?; (b) what is the selection process for ethnic Malay pupils into the RSS?; (c) how do the RSS operate?; (d) What are the perceptions of ethnic Malay pupils towards leadership? and; (e) what are the perceptions of ethnic Malay pupils towards leadership in Malaysia? The quantitative data are analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) and Chi-Square analysis. The results are presented using frequency tables and significant values for the hypothetical analysis. The qualitative data are analysed using categorization and comparison. The results are presented using frequency tables and rankings. In addition, documentary analysis is used to complement the results in this research. In general, the results of the study show that there are both similarities and differences in the perceptions of pupils towards the importance of education, leadership and in particular leadership in Malaysia. The results show that pupils are indifferent in their perceptions towards education. However, the study would suggest that the role of education for national development, especially for ethnic Malays, may reflect the objectives and aims of the government for future ethnic Malay leadership in Malaysia. The results also show that pupils' perceptions towards leadership in general and leadership in the context of Malaysia are different in terms of their SES, demographic area, and academic achievements. The study suggests that religion, culture and ethnicity are still important factors for leadership in Malaysia.

Direct rule by the colonial powers of the West has given way to in- dependence only in the last decade or two. Independence has usually been ac- companied by a new emphasis on economic and social development to enhance the welfare of the people. However, the heritage of the past often constrains the future. The influence of the colonial experience upon a nation's economic, po- litical and social institutions continues long after formal independence, often to the detriment of the nation's professed social and economic objectives.

  • Malaysia: the 2020 Putsch for Malay Islam Supremacy James Chin School of Social Sciences, University of Tasmania
    Malaysia: the 2020 putsch for Malay Islam supremacy James Chin School of Social Sciences, University of Tasmania ABSTRACT Many people were surprised by the sudden fall of Mahathir Mohamad and the Pakatan Harapan (PH) government on 21 February 2020, barely two years after winning the historic May 2018 general elections. This article argues that the fall was largely due to the following factors: the ideology of Ketuanan Melayu Islam (Malay Islam Supremacy); the Mahathir-Anwar dispute; Mahathir’s own role in trying to reduce the role of the non-Malays in the government; and the manufactured fear among the Malay polity that the Malays and Islam were under threat. It concludes that the majority of the Malay population, and the Malay establishment, are not ready to share political power with the non- Malays. Introduction Many people were shocked when the Barisan National (BN or National Front) govern- ment lost its majority in the May 2018 general elections. After all, BN had been in power since independence in 1957 and the Federation of Malaysia was generally regarded as a stable, one-party regime. What was even more remarkable was that the person responsible for Malaysia’s first regime change, Mahathir Mohammad, was also Malaysia’s erstwhile longest serving prime minister. He had headed the BN from 1981 to 2003 and was widely regarded as Malaysia’s strongman. In 2017, he assumed leader- ship of the then-opposition Pakatan Harapan (PH or Alliance of Hope) coalition and led the coalition to victory on 9 May 2018. He is remarkable as well for the fact that he became, at the age of 93, the world’s oldest elected leader.1 The was great hope that Malaysia would join the global club of democracy but less than two years on, the PH government fell apart on 21 February 2020.

  • Text and Screen Representations of Puteri Gunung Ledang
    ‘The legend you thought you knew’: text and screen representations of Puteri Gunung Ledang Mulaika Hijjas Abstract: This article traces the evolution of narratives about the supernatural woman said to live on Gunung Ledang, from oral folk- View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE lore to sixteenth-century courtly texts to contemporary films. In provided by SOAS Research Online all her instantiations, the figure of Puteri Gunung Ledang can be interpreted in relation to the legitimation of the state, with the folk- lore preserving her most archaic incarnation as a chthonic deity essential to the maintenance of the ruling dynasty. By the time of the Sejarah Melayu and Hikayat Hang Tuah, two of the most impor- tant classical texts of Malay literature, the myth of Puteri Gunung Ledang had been desacralized. Nevertheless, a vestigial sense of her importance to the sultanate of Melaka remains. The first Malaysian film that takes her as its subject, Puteri Gunung Ledang (S. Roomai Noor, 1961), is remarkably faithful to the style and sub- stance of the traditional texts, even as it reworks the political message to suit its own time. The second film, Puteri Gunung Ledang (Saw Teong Hin, 2004), again exemplifies the ideology of its era, depoliticizing the source material even as it purveys Barisan Nasional ideology. Keywords: myth; invention of tradition; Malay literature; Malaysian cinema Author details: Mulaika Hijjas is a British Academy Postdoctoral Fel- low in the Department of South East Asia, SOAS, Thornhaugh Street, Russell Square, London WC1H 0XG, UK.
