	The Fear Of Change.
		Chinese Malaysians in particular are warned every now and then by Malaysian Chinese Association (MCA) leaders that they should reject reformasi --- otherwise they too will suffer the same fate as their counterparts in Indonesia.
		The economic disparities between a section of the Chinese community and the vast majority of indigenous Indonesians (often referred to as the Pribumi) are so stark that it was possible for unscrupulous elements to manipulate the anger and envy of groups within the disadvantaged many to target the wealth of the affluent few.
		Because the Chinese, both at the community and individual level, had no political presence they were particularly vulnerable to the pulls and pressures of mass politics.

	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).
