National Identity, Language and Education in Malaysia

This book explores the ways in which language and education policies have contributed to the development of national integration in Malaysia, by examining whether and how policies have succeeded in forming a middle ground.

Considered through the lenses of policy-making structure and achievement, this volume examines the relationships between the formation of a middle ground in language and education policies and the political structure, economic growth strategies and social system. It then goes on to explore the extent to which these policies have contributed to national integration whilst providing a valuable discussion on the complexities involved in developing a consistent policy framework. Drawing on research surveys of Malay proficiency amongst ethnic Chinese people, it ultimately demonstrates how the unification of education streams has contributed to the spread of the Malay language as a major medium of inter-ethnic communication within the Chinese community.

As the most up-to-date study of contemporary Malaysian politics, focusing on the issue of national integration, this book will appeal to students and scholars of Southeast Asian politics, ethnicity, and education policy.

Noriyuki Segawa is a Professor in the Faculty of International Studies at Kindai University, Japan. His research interests are in nation-building in Malaysia and Fiji.

Asias Transformations

Edited by Mark Selden, Cornell University, USA

This book is based on my PhD thesis, submitted to the University of Sydney. I was assisted by a great number of persons and institutions. First and foremost, I would like to express my wholehearted gratitude to my supervisor, Dr. Lily Zubaidah Rahim, whose positive suggestions and continuous encouragement helped me to complete the work.

I am indebted to Distinguished Professor Datuk Shamsul Amri Baharuddin, Founding Director of Institut Kajian Etnik (KITA) at the Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, for permitting me to work as a visiting researcher at his institute. He stimulated debates that gave rise to many ideas and added strength and relevance to my argument. During the period when I was a research associate in the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies (ISEAS), Singapore, I had many opportunities to attend workshops and to discuss my ideas with numerous Southeast Asian specialists and political scientists. In particular, Dr. Lee Hock Guan, who acted as my director in the ISEAS, assisted with his constructive comments.

Professor Susumu Sako and Professor Izumi Kobayashi at Osaka Gakuin University, Japan, were further sources of encouragement. I would like to express my appreciation for the staff at various libraries, namely Fisher Library of the University of Sydney, Central Library of the National University of Singapore and ISEAS Library. I would also like to show my appreciation to Professor Mark Selden, series editor of Asias Transformations, and the reviewers of my manuscript for useful and constructive comments. Ms. Georgina Bishop and Ms. Stephanie Rogers, editors of Routledge, patiently helped steer my completion of this book.
