  • Malaysian Culture: Views of Educated Youths About Our Way Forward
    ISBN 978-1-84626-xxx-x Proceedings of the Third International Conference on Humanities, Historical and Social Sciences Phnom Penh, Cambodia , September 28 - 29 , 2012, pp . xxx-xxx Malaysian Culture: Views of Educated Youths About Our Way Forward P.F. Chiok 1, C.C. Low 2, and S.M. Ang 1+++ 1Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (MALAYSIA), 2 University of Melbourne (AUSTRALIA) Abstract. A study was conducted amongst Malaysian university students who study locally and abroad to understand their views about the important elements of an emerging Malaysian culture. Ethnic cultures, national culture and global culture play different but unique roles in the formation of the Malaysian national identity. It is of academic interests to examine how the young generations of Malaysians are reconciling with the competing yet accommodating elements of the different ethnic cultures in the country. This paper is written with two main objectives: 1) to find out the students’ perspectives of the top elements that should make up a Malaysian culture and 2) to examine their view on ‘global culture’ and its roles in enriching the Malaysian culture as our national culture. The authors suggest that young Malaysians are optimistic about the emerging Malaysian culture and are adapting well to the cultural elements of other ethnic groups despite some differences in opinions about what constituted the Malaysian culture. Keywords: ethnic culture, Malaysian Culture, national culture, global culture, the Malaysian national identity 1. Introduction The National Culture Policy has always been associated with the goal of nation-building. Awareness already exists amongst young Malaysians with tertiary education that nation-building sometimes entails sacrifices, and fears of the unknown.

  • SOCIAL SCIENCES & HUMANITIES Rukun Negara As a Preamble to Malaysian Constitution
    Pertanika J. Soc. Sci. & Hum. 29 (S2): 29 - 42 (2021) SOCIAL SCIENCES & HUMANITIES Journal homepage: http://www.pertanika.upm.edu.my/ Rukun Negara as a Preamble to Malaysian Constitution Noor‘Ashikin Hamid*, Hussain Yusri Zawawi, Mahamad Naser Disa and Ahmad Zafry Mohamad Tahir Department of Law, Faculty of Law and International Relations, Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin (UniSZA), Kampung Gong Badak, 21300 Kuala Nerus, Terengganu, Malaysia ABSTRACT Rukun Negara is the Malaysian declaration of national philosophy drafted by the National Consultative Council and launched on 31st August 1970. The Rukun Negara aspires to establish a substantial unity of a nation. The principles in the Rukun Negara serve as an integrative key to harmonious and unity of the people in ensuring Malaysia’s success and stability. To realize the aspiration above, five (5) principles are presented, namely the “Belief in God”; “Loyalty to the King and Country”; “Supremacy of the Constitution”; “Rules of Law”; and “Courtesy and Morality.” However, there is a postulation that Rukun Negara’s inclusion as a preamble may undermine constitutional supremacy. Therefore, this paper is aimed to enlighten the matter via critical interpretation of the principles and examination of related cases in Malaysia. The conducted analyses showed that the Federal Constitution per se is sufficient and comprehensive to address the conflicting issues. Despite some ambiguities probed in the Constitution, its supremacy is still fully preserved and effective without including Rukun Negara as the preamble. Keywords: Constitution, five principles, preamble,Rukun Negara INTRODUCTION ARTICLE INFO The British occupation of Malaya had Article history: Received: 2 May 2020 brought the “divide and rule” policy that Accepted: 12 March 2021 Published: 17 May 2021 separated different races into different forms of social, educational, and economic DOI: https://doi.org/10.47836/pjssh.29.S2.03 settings.

Datuk Seri Mohd. Najib Tun Abdul Razak on 3rd of April 2009 soon after his sworn-in ceremony. The 1Malaysia concept protects the rights of all ethnic groups in the country and is able to bring Malaysia forward. The concept of 1Malaysia does not stray a single inch from the provisions of the Federal Constitution or the Rukun Negara (Five Pillars of the nation). The opposition parties claimed that they have introduced earlier the so called Middle Malaysia vision (originally from their Malaysian Malaysia slogan). Actually they were worried that the 1Malaysia concept has been accepted by most ethnic groups in Malaysia and there was a renewed spirit among the people to bring the country to greater heights. The government wants the Malaysian people to adopt the attitude of acceptance instead of tolerance.

  • Bab Ii Pendekatan Keamanan Sektor Politik Yang
    BAB II PENDEKATAN KEAMANAN SEKTOR POLITIK YANG MEMPENGARUHI KEBIJAKAN MALAYSIA DI PELABUHAN JOHOR Bab ini akan menjelaskan apa yang mempengaruhi kebijakan yang dibuat oleh pemerintah Malaysia pada masa Mahathir Mohamad kembali naik menjadi Perdana Menteri melalui pendekatan konsep milik Buzan dkk. Buzan dkk bahwa sektor politik lebih menekankan kedaulatan negara yang mana ada dalam agenda militer sesuai dengan ancamannya. Tetapi, karena sektor militer memiliki bagian tersendiri, sektor politik lebih terfokus terhadap ancaman non-militer (Buzan, Waever, & de Wilde, 1998, hal. 140-143). Dalam hal ini, Malaysia sebagai aktor politik merasa memiliki kepentingan nasional yang harus dicapai. Kedaulatan wilayah menjadi keutamaan untuk memperoleh kekuasaan yang absolut. Pelabuhan Johor merupakan wilayah strategis yang terletak di Selat Johor. Selat tersebut merupakan jalur perdagangan Malaysia. Dengan adanya kebijakan tersebut, tentunya menjadi sebuah keuntungan bagi Malaysia dalam lalu lintas perdagangan serta luas wilayah bertambah. 29 Dimulai dengan negara berdaulat, yang membentuk sebagian besar sektor politik, kita dapat melihat masalah ancaman dan kerentanan melalui argumen bahwa suatu negara terdiri dari tiga komponen: ideologi, bentuk fisik, dan institusi. Mengurangi masalah-masalah yang masuk ke dalam sektor lain(sebagian besar ancaman yang dibuat langsung dalam bentuk fisik harus militer, ekonomi atau lingkungan), kita dibiarkan dengan ideologi(kecuali identitas ideologi independen dari institusi) dan institusi sebagai pertanyaan dari ideologi di mana lembaga-lembaga politik dibangun (Buzan, Waever, & de Wilde, 1998, hal. 150-151). Ideologi yang dimiliki negara secara bersama adalah bersifat nasionalisme, terutama nasionalisme sipil tetapi kadang-kadang ethno- nasionalisme dan ideologi politik. Dengan mengancam suatu ideologi, seseorang dapat mengancam stabilitas tatanan politik (Buzan, Waever, & de Wilde, 1998, hal.

  • Identity Politics and Young-Adult Malaysian Muslims
    Eras Edition 12, Issue 1, December 2010 – http://www.arts.monash.edu.au/publications/eras Identity Politics and Young-Adult Malaysian Muslims Dahlia Martin (Flinders University, Australia) Abstract: A rivalry between political parties has meant that the position of religion in Malaysia is very much tied in with nationalistic politics. Having been in power since the country’s independence, the United Malays Nationalist Organisation (UMNO) of the Barisan Nasional (National Front) has attempted, through use of several national ideologies and discourses, to propagate a Malay Muslim hegemony within a multiethnic framework. The most obvious result of this is the categorization of the Malaysian population by ethnicity in all facets of their lives. Another consequence is the precarious position of young adults in Malaysia: the government expects much of Malaysian youth, especially Muslim youth, yet ironically, their inadequate representation and vulnerability to authoritative depictions has left them a marginalized group. This article looks at the discourses concerning young-adult Malaysian Muslims, and, through in- depth interviews with a small sample of urban youth, attempts to uncover what discourses young-adult Malaysian Muslims are actually using in their everyday lives. My findings point to a transcendence of religion over race amongst most young Muslims, with there being much discomfort over assuming the ethnic identity marker of ‘Malay’. In the Southeast Asian country of Malaysia, the position of Islam in public life is very much linked with national politics. The United Malays Nationalist Organisation (UMNO), the Malay race-based and largest party in the ruling Barisan Nasional (BN), or National Front coalition, has, for decades now, been locked in a rivalry with the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS) over command of the Muslim-Malay electorate.

  • The Malaysian Albatross of May 13, 1969 Racial Riots
    The Malaysian Albatross of May 13, 1969 Racial Riots Malachi Edwin VETHAMANI University of Nottingham Malaysia1 Introduction RACIAL riots in Malaysia are an uncommon phenomenon though there is a constant reminder and threat that the 13 May 1969 riots could recur. The 13 May, 1969 racial riots remains a deep scar in the nation’s psyche even today and the fear of such a re- occurrence continues to loom especially when some unscrupulous Malay politicians remind the nation that such an eventuality is a possibility if the privileged position of Malays is threatened. Yet, Malaysia has prided itself as a model for multi-cultural and multi-racial harmony in its sixty over years of existence as a nation. However, its attempts at forging a Malaysian race of “Bangsa Malaysia” (Mahathir 1992: 1) has not been achieved. In recent post-colonial nations, especially in nations with mixed populations like Malaysia, a lot of effort is put into projecting a national culture or a national identity. This attempt to forge various races into a single cultural entity is an impossibility, and it is a misconception that there can be a single national culture. As Ahmad says, any nation comprises cultures not just one culture. He asserts that it is a mistaken notion that “each ‘nation’ of the ‘Third World’ has a ‘culture’ and a ‘tradition’” (9). This paper examines Malaysian writers’ creative response in the English language to the 13 May, 1969 riots. It presents a brief historical context to the violent event and political response to the event which has resulted in the passing of various policies and laws that has impacted not only on the re-structuring of Malaysian society but also the management of the relationships among the multi-ethnic communities in the country.
