  • Aziz Ishak and the Anti-British Spirit
    INSTITUTE OF CURRENT WORLD AFFAIRS GDN-24 x o 5/B5 Aziz Ishak and the Petaling Jaya, Selangor Anti-British Spirit Malaya SO March 196S Mr. Richard H. Nolte Institute of Current World Affairs $66 Madison Avenue New York 17, New York Dear Mr. Nolte, Abdul Aziz bin Ishak is easily the most contro- versial of the modern Malayan leaders. One-time journalist and newspaper publisher, younger brother of the Yang Di-Pertuan Negara (constitutional head of State of Singapore), from a good family and well- educated, Aziz is a Malayan brand of the modern nationalist intellectual. Instrumental in forming the United Malay Nationalist Organization (UMNO), nominated member of the Britishcontrolled Legislative Council and elected member of the independent Malayan Parlia- ment he fought for independence and became one of the modern intellectuals in power. As the country's Minister of Agriculture he worked tirelessly, if not always effectively, to better the lot of the alayan peasant. His wide travels in Malaya and his constant campaigning through his Ministry won him considerable popularity among the rural people and a loyal following among many, but not all, of his officers. Aziz' outspokenness and his tireless energy have also won him powerful enemies. His proposal to create a co-operative fertilizer factory, which he continued to press over the objections of the cabinet and the Prime inister, brought him into opposition with the Imperial Chemicals Industries (ICI), one of the most powerful and well- organized of the British economic interests in Malaya. His unqualified allegations of corrultion in departments of his own ministry have demoralized some of his staff.

  • UMNO Factionalism and the Politics of Malaysian National Identity
    UMNO Factionalism and The Politics Of Malaysian National Identity JAE HYON LEE This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Murdoch University 2005 I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. .................................. Abstract This thesis analyses UMNO factionalism from the perspective of the elite’s manipulation of the various modes of nationalisms. This thesis argues that UMNO factionalism, which is seemingly a power struggle between competing UMNO elites, has been significantly shaped by contesting nationalist ideologies that reflect the unresolved questions of national identity in Malaysia. These two issues, that is, nationalism and UMNO factionalism, have shaped Malaysian politics in significant ways. UMNO factionalism has been related to such major political events as the 1969 ethnic riots, the introduction of the New Economic Policy, the UMNO split in 1987 and the Reformasi (Reform) movement in 1998. Frequently, the impact of these disputes extended beyond UMNO politics and affected wider Malaysian politics. At the same time, due to unresolved questions of national identity, nationalism has occupied a central position in Malaysian political discourse. There are ambiguities regarding the relationships among the various ethnic identities and national identity and between the individual and the larger Malaysian community that enable elites to construct and manipulate nationalist ideologies. In this thesis, the conflicting nationalisms are captured by five different concepts of nationalism – ethnocultural, civic and multicultural nationalisms in one group and collectivist-authoritarian and individualistic-libertarian nationalisms in another.

  • Chinese Responses to Malay Hegemony in Peninsular Malaysia 1957-96
    Southeast Asian Studies. Vol. 34, No.3, December 1996 Chinese Responses to Malay Hegemony in Peninsular Malaysia 1957-96 RENG Pek Koon * Owing to their status as an immigrant minority community, the political, social and 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% for Indians [Government of Malaysia, Department of Statistics Malaysia 1995: VoLl, 40J. This paper examines the impact of Malay hegemony, which emerged with independence 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 gains. The second phase saw concentration of power in the United Malays National Organization (UMNO), a concerted implementation of Malay affirmative action policies, and a concomitant marginalization of Chinese political activity. In the current phase, NDP policies, shaped by the objectives of Prime Minister Mohamad Mahathir's "Vision 2020," have produced a political and economic climate more conducive to Chinese interests. Before turning to a discussion of Chinese political and economic activities in the country, I would like to first consider the manner in which the three core ethnic identifiers of "Malayness" - bahasa, agama, raja (language, religion and royalty) - have been utilized by the Malay political leadership in public policies to reflect Malay hegemonic status in the Malaysian polity.
