    The 1950s and early 1960s were two crucial periods in the educational development of Malaysia. The transition from colonial rule to self government during these two periods had brought to the fore the adverse effect of the segregated school systems created by the British colonial government on the role of education as a tool for nation building. It had also heightened the sharp disparity in educational advancement between the Malays and the non-Malays, especially the Chinese. This was the result of the educational policy implemented by the British colonial government. The British colonial government implemented a laissez faire educational policy for the Chinese by allowing them to pursue their educational interests. On the other hand, a dualistic educational policy was imposed on the Malays in which only a small minority of Malays, largely the scions of the aristocracy, was provided with an elitist English education, while the Malay masses, largely rural-based, were purportedly encouraged by the colonial government to attend Malay schools, which had limited instrumental value. Both policies were implemented within the segregated system of education and served the “divide and rule” purpose of the British colonial government.…

    Malaysian politics is just like an orgy. Everyone screws everyone. The only thing is one must be careful though. In all that exchanging of partners going on one must not make the mistake of screwing one's own partner. This would defeat the objective of an orgy where one is supposed to exchange partners and not indulge with one's own partner, which could be done in the privacy of your home. But then this sometimes poses a problem when one is not too clear about which one is one's own partner and which one must be screwed instead. And this is what Malaysian politics has been reduced to: a crisis of confusion as to who is the ‘victim of the day' and who is your ‘partner'.…

    This article examines the direction of ethnic politics in Malaysia by investigating the 2008 election results and the subsequent political maneuverings of political parties following the election. The results do not clearly demonstrate the demise of ethnic politics; however, the communal political paradigm of the Barisan Nasional Party (BN) has become increasingly ineffective in its attempts to appease both Malay and non-Malay communities. Following the election, the BN seems to have moved towards the adoption of a multiethnic agenda, whereas its affiliated parties have chosen to maintain their communal political paradigm. Furthermore, the Pakatan Rakyat has not outlined a clear multiethnic platform and has failed to reject communal politics. The Malaysian political paradigm has yet to shift qualitatively away from ethnic politics.…
