 Book Review: The Chinese in Malaysia
It is commonly known (even among Malaysian Malays and Malaysian Indians) that the “Malaysian Chinese” are actually a heterogenous group made up largely of descendants of immigrants from various areas of China during the days of the Ching Dynasty and Republican China.
The Peranakan Chinese, who spoke either a Malay patois or English as their first language, considered themselves to be socially superior to the other immigrant Chinese during the colonial era and were resented in return.
One major contributing factor to the emergence of an imagined pan-Malaysian “Chinese” identity is, of course, the Chinese language schools that taught and continue to teach their students through the medium of Mandarin Chinese (a Northern Chinese dialect which is actually foreign to most Southern Chinese such as those who migrated to colonial Malaysia).

The MCA, which often competes with the DAP for political space within the Malaysian Chinese community, played a critical role in shaping the success of the National Front in the parliamentary polls held last November.
