The terminology was was originally aimed at countering negative propaganda proposed by the Malaysian Indian and the Malaysian Chinese, who accused that the special socio-political privileges given to the indigenous Malaysian peoples in the Malaysia’s Constitution and the affirmative New Economic Policy of 1971 have been a severe strategy to condemn the Indian and the Chinese Malaysians. On the other hand, the Malays in Malaysia traced the idea of Malay political hegemony from the political situation in the period of Malay kingdom of Melaka in the 15th century. In this article, I proposed that what is now called Malay political hegemony could be compared to what was called beschikkingsrecht in Dutch language, in the colonial period of Indonesia. This terminology referred to the sovereignty of the native peoples in Malay Archipelago over their land and political state. Lastly I find debate on the Malay political hegemony in Malaysia recently, whether between the natives versus the immigrants, or between the ruling Malays versus the opposition Malays, are pertaining with 6 articles in the Constitution and Act of Malaysian Armforce of 1972. This set of rules is knownly called Wasiat Raja-raja Melayu (The Wasiat of the Malay Sultans).

Ia menegaskan bahawa sesuai dengan perubahan sosio-politik, ‘bidang makna’ yang berkaitan konsep ‘intelektual’ dan lokasi sosial sebenar para intelektual itu sudah mengalami perubahan besar sepanjang abad dua puluh. Ini menimbulkan cabaran kepada sejarahwan yang ingin melihat masa lampau dengan kaca mata masa kini tetapi yang sepatutnya perlu difahami dengan tanggapan yang ikhlas sesuai dengan masanya. Selain itu, ia juga menimbulkan cabaran kepada penyelidik sains sosial untuk mengelak dari mengaitkan konsep masa lampau kepada konsep masa terkini supaya dapat memahami sumbangan ide dan kaitannya kepada masa lampau. Sehubungan itu, makalah ini memberi bayangan sekilas tentang persekitaran, motivasi dan sumbangan beberapa tokoh intelektual yang terkenal di Malaysia. Kata kunci: A Samad Ismail, intelektual, wacana, Alam Melayu ABSTRACT This paper focuses on the discourse in Malaysia concerning intellectuals. It asserts that in concert with political and sociological changes, the ‘field of meanings’ associated with the concept of ‘the intellectual’ and the actual social location of intellectual actors have undergone considerable change during the twentieth century. This flags the challenge for historians who are telling today’s stories about the past in today’s terms, but who have to try to understand that past on its own terms. Further, it flags the challenge for social scientists to not merely appropriate the concepts of past scholars in tying to understand the present, but rather to also understand the context in which those ideas had relevance.

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.

  • Tun Musa Hitam Stood Like a Rock and He Paid the Price for It - Sultan Nazrin Astro Awani August 10, 2016
    Tun Musa Hitam stood like a rock and he paid the price for it - Sultan Nazrin Astro Awani August 10, 2016 HERE is the speech by His Royal Highness Sultan Dr Nazrin Muizzuddin Shah at the launch of the book, 'Frankly Speaking' by Tun Musa Hitam at the Kuala Lumpur Golf Centre here today. Bismillahi Rahmani Rahim. Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. Salam Sejahtera. Beta bersyukur ke hadrat ILAHI kerana dengan limpah rahmat daripada Nya juga, Beta bersama Raja Permaisuri dapat berangkat ke Majlis Pelancaran Buku ‘Frankly Speaking’ yang dihasilkan oleh Tun Musa Hitam. Tun bukan seorang kenalan baru. Pada awal tahun-tahun tujuh puluhan, semasa masih seorang pelajar, Beta seringkali bertandang ke Seri Taman, kediaman rasmi Perdana Menteri ketika itu, menziarahi Johari Razak (anak kepada Tun Abdul Razak). Sekali sekala, Beta melihat kehadiran Tun Musa di Seri Taman, seorang tokoh muda politik yang ketika itu lagi, bukan sahaja mencerminkan dinamisme dan karisma dari segi pemikiran dan pengucapan, tetapi turut memiliki ketampanan tubuh dan kesegakan rupa; seorang idola di kalangan pemuda dan pastinya pula mempunyai ramai peminat di kalangan pemudi. Sejak masih berusia muda, Beta turut berpeluang berkawan dengan anak-anak Tun, Mariana, Rashid dan Rozana. Beta juga merasakan kehilangan dan kesedihan yang amat sangat atas kehilangan Rashid pada usia yang begitu muda, semasa berlakunya tragedi Highland Towers pada 11 Disember 1993. Semoga roh Carlos Rashid Musa dicucuri rahmat oleh ALLAH Subhanahu Wata’ala. Al Fatihah. 2. For those of us who have had the privilege and benefit of knowing this commoner, as he describes himself in his book, Tun Musa Hitam is anything but common.

  • Imperial Alchemy: Nationalism and Political Identity in Southeast Asia
    This page intentionally left blank Imperial Alchemy The mid twentieth century marked one of the greatest watersheds of Asian history, when a range of imperial constructs were declared to be nation-states, either by revolution or by decolonisation. Nationalism was the great alchemist, turning the base metal of empire into the gold of nations. To achieve such a transformation from the immense diversity of these Asian empires required a different set of forces from those that Europeans had needed in their transitions from multi-ethnic empires to culturally homogeneous nations. In this book Anthony Reid, one of the premier scholars of Southeast Asia, explores the mysterious alchemy by which new political identities have been formed. Taking Southeast Asia as his example, Reid tests contemporary theory about the relation between modernity, nationalism and ethnic identity. Grappling with concepts emanating from a very different European experience of nationalism, Reid develops his own typology to better fit the formation of political identities such as the Indonesian, Malay, Chinese, Acehnese, Batak and Kadazan. anthony reid is a Southeast Asian Historian now again based at the Australian National University, Canberra, but previously at the National University of Singapore (2002–9), where he established the Asia Research Institute, and University of California, Los Angeles (1999–2002). His other recent books include Southeast Asia in the Age of Commerce (2 vols, 1988–93), Charting the Shape of Early Modern Southeast Asia (1999), An Indonesian Frontier: Acehnese and Other Histories of Sumatra (2004), and, as [co]editor, Islamic Legitimacy in a Plural Asia (2007), Chinese Diaspora in the Pacific (2008) and Negotiating Asymmetry: China’s Place in Asia (2009).
