	Kakiseni.com - Malaysians are robbed of their past: an interview with Dr. Farish A Noor
		I couldn’t understand why Malaysians had to go to the US or the UK to study their own traditions such as makyong or gamelan, and why many urban Malaysians don’t have a family house to go back to in the country on week-ends, like people do in other places in the world.
		The Malays then for fear of losing their privileges fought the Malaysian independence on an understanding that Malaysia was the land of the Malays and that the Malays should be accorded special privileges.
		Malaysian society is so communalised, race is so important, particularly to maintain the distinction between Malays and Indians.

		The 25-year-old ethnic Indian Christian’s overwhelming victory on Malaysian Idol is being hailed as a televised triumph for a predominantly Malay Muslim country still struggling against deep-rooted racial rifts.
		Victor, one of four children raised by their widowed mother, was an underdog from the start, dismayed by comments on the Internet that Malaysian Idol should be open to Malay contestants only.

	Minorities At Risk (MAR)
		The Malaysian Chinese Association (MCA) is a part of the ruling NF coalition which is headed by Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamed.
		The Chinese in Malaysia remain underrepresented in the political arena due to prevailing social practices by the dominant Malay majority and public policies are not adequate to offset these disadvantages (POLDIS00 = 3).
		However, in August and December of 2000, anti-Chinese demonstrations were held by the Malay community against a newly-formed Chinese organization that was advocating equal civil and political rights for group members.

	Manglish - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Theoretically, English as spoken in Malaysia is based on British English and called Malaysian English.
		Speakers of Manglish from the country's different ethnic groups tend to intersperse varying amounts of expressions or interjections from their mother tongue - be it Malay, Chinese or Indian- which, in some cases, qualifies as a form of code-switching.
		In old Malaya, English was the language of the British administration whilst Malay was spoken as the lingua franca of the street.

	Malaysian Food on www.MalaysianFood.net
		Malaysian food is not one particular distinction of food but a culinary diversity originating from it's multi-ethnic population of Malay, Indian, Eurasian, Chinese, Nyonya and the Indigenous peoples of Borneo.
		A favorite night time activity with Malaysians when the unrelenting heat of the day lets up a little, take a leisurely stroll in the local pasar malam [night market].
		A brief look into the past and how this multi-ethnic country came to be, is essential in order to comprehend how such a cosmic array of food, has now come to be known all over the world as Malaysian Food.

		Elsewhere, a Malaysian observer remarks wrtly, “Most of the time the [religious officer] is nowhere to be found and is always out of the village.” Still, the policies of Islamization and “positive discrimination” for Islamized communities remain in place, although the department has become less forthcoming about them.

		Suqiu, the Malaysian Chinese Organisations' Election Appeals Committee, claims to have the endorsement of 2,095 Malaysian Chinese organisations but the reality is that it is only two years old.
		Suqiu and GPMS can then discuss points which Malaysians cherish irrespective of their ethnicity and religious beliefs.

	Cameron W. Barr, How to keep Asia's melting pots from boiling
		For Malaysian Chinese and Indians, the NEP meant sending children overseas for higher education, being forced to include Malay partners in business enterprises, and keeping one's head down.
		The inevitable byproduct - as in the decision to make Malay the national language - was discrimination against Chinese and Indians.
		The NEP set out to eradicate poverty and remove these distinctions, mainly by promoting Malay employment, education, and business ownership.

	Food Aneka Rasa
		Malaysian cuisine is real fusion food, with the complexity of Malay cuisine (the mother of Indonesian food) and overlays of Southern Chinese and South Indian flavors, plus a bit of British empire for humor.
		Fewer walls mean less wall art, but these modern prints of Malaysian scenes are very cool and project a kind of universal humanity that goes well with a cuisine that has absorbed diverse influences so successfully.
		But it really shines with Malaysian cuisine, and offers several dishes new to the Boston area.

	Malayan history to 1963 - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Malayan history to 1963
		Chinese miners had been encouraged to enter the tin-mining areas by earlier Malay rulers and chiefs, but now they poured in of their own accord, and by the middle of the 20th century were to be almost as numerous as the Malays themselves.
		Appeals to the Chinese emperor for protection resulted in the raising of the title of the Malay ruler to that of king of Malacca in 1405, and freed him from any dependence on the Siamese.
		Meanwhile, in the Malay states of the west coast, the rulers' authority became increasingly weakened, and to the troubles caused by court factions was added the disturbance caused by Chinese immigration in the tin-mining areas.

	Malaysia Today: MT-MMblues: The grossly misunderstood New Economic Policy
		I believe many Malaysians of all races realise the major problems we have created during the past 20 years where mega projects were launched without proper economic justification but just to please a few cronies.
		It was meant to help all Malaysians irrespective of race and social background and who are economically backward, to improve their finacial and social standing.
		So, in the 1960s, people like Siew Nim Chee, the economic advisor to Lim Goh Thong of Genting Highlands fame, plus other Chinese corporate leaders, approached the MCA leader and Finance Minister then, Tun Tan Siew Sin, to propose that the Chinese come out with an economic plan to assist the Malays.

		Bahasa Melayu is the national language in Malaysia by article 152 of the Malaysian Constitution, and became the sole official language in West Malaysia in 1968, and in East Malaysia gradually from 1973.
		In Malaysia, the language is known as Bahasa Melayu or Bahasa Malaysia, which means the Malay, or Malaysian, language.
		However, many Malay dialects are not as mutually intelligible: for example, Kelantanese pronunciation is difficult even for some Malaysians to understand, while Javanese Malay tends to have a lot of words unique to it which will be unfamiliar to other speakers of Malay.

	Lim Kit Siang
		Chinese politics in the post-Independence Malaysia was primarily the politics of national identity in the Malaysian nation-building process, their citizenship entitlements politically, economically and educationally and the recognition and respect for their language, mother tongue education, culture and religion.
		However, Chinese politics in Malaysia underwent a sea-change in the post-war and particularly in the post-Independence period, where the political contest was over the citizenship rights of the Chinese and the definition of the Malaysian national identity and nation-state.
		For if this can be achieved, then for the first time in Malaysian politics since Independence, there would be an alternative Opposition Front which could challenge not only the political hegemony, but also the mandate to govern, of the National Front in the next general election.

		Malaysian politics now enters a period of uncertainty, but this should not be confused with instability.
		Malaysian politics is at a crossroads, and one can describe dozens of scenarios for the future.
		I would argue that it means that in a time of rapid change, many Malaysians are trying to hold on to their sense of being Malay and the values that matter to them as Malays, one of which is Islam.
