Interpretation As Books The Malay Dilemma

In The Malay Dilemma, former prime minister Mahathir Mohamad examines and analyses the make-up of the Malays and the problem of racial harmony in Malaysia. First published in 1970, the book seeks to explain the causes for the 13 May 1969 riots in Kuala Lumpur.

Dr Mahathir sets out his view as to why the Malays are economically backward and why they feel they must insist upon immigrants becoming real Malaysians speaking in due course nothing but Malay, as do immigrants to America or Australia speak nothing but the language of what the author calls "the definitive people". He argues that the Malays are the rightful owners of Malaya. He also argues that immigrants are guests until properly absorbed, and that they are not properly absorbed until they have abandoned the language and culture of their past.

Crit Appertaining To Books The Malay Dilemma

What I read is a Chinese translation prefaced by Mahathir Mohamad. Even from a perspective of an outsider, I can still feel the whole book is filled with inconvenient truth (if what he wrote can be counted as truth), which, therefore, explains why it was banned by then Malaysian government. But, anyway, I should say the so called Malay Dilemma, to a great extent, is actually also Malaysian Dilemma.

What do I think about this book?It.Literally. Changed. Life. My Life, most of all. I recommend all Malays to read this book - and all Malaysians.Noone knows Malaysia's social problem more than our ex-Prime Minister (This was written before he became the PM). EVERY SINGLE problem attributed to our social,economic and intellectual plight are listed, and the reasons for it found and explained. Then, we can act to solve it. In it he also tells us how to change it and what to change - and what to

Malaysians should read this. For every decisions made, there's a reason. This book tell you Dr Mahathir's reasons.

We are still in Dilemma...

Undoubtedly, this is a book that many Malays of post-independence Malaysia have read. No, not because they have actually read it. Rather, its ideas and visions have been translated (with varying degrees of success) into national policies that affected generations of Malaysians. So if you, a Malay, still have not pick up this book, don't worry. Its ideas are familiar to you. If not from Dr. Mahathir himself, then you'd probably had heard them from your teachers, parents, friends, colleagues,

Although some points are less relevant now, it is a poignant reminder of how the course of history can become a major setback in reaching economical equality between different races in Malaysia today. A must read for all, a thought-provoking book which must be taken in with an open mind.

Dr. M's views in The Malay Dilemma are extremely biased and clearly not backed by empirical evidence (in fact he admitted that himself). Some of his opinions are riddled with contradictions. There are many repeated and recycled arguments. Not only that, a handful of his assumptions are far from the truth. Of course, there are also many points I agree with in this book, including the convincing arguments made as to the Malays being the definitive people of Malaya, the unconventional education
